The $4,639 due at signing is the highest of the sub-$12,000 group, which is why it rates 1.34%.

How to find the absolute cheapest car lease
Cheapest total cost is not the same as best value
Total lease cost answers one question: how much money leaves your account before you hand the car back. It says nothing about what you got for it. A 24-month lease on a small crossover will almost always total less than a 36-month lease on a larger car, even when the larger car is the better deal.
Take your monthly payment, add the amount due at signing divided by the number of months, then divide by the sticker price and multiply by 100.
Value ratio = adjusted monthly / sticker x 100
What the ratings mean
The rating beside each deal is its Lease Value Ratio, which measures cost against sticker price. Use total cost to check affordability and the ratio to check value.

These offers may vary based on location, credit score, and financing terms, and are not guaranteed. Use our free service to check discount car prices to get the best prices that include current manufacturer offers and incentives.
Check the Rate Behind Your Lease Payment
A lease quote gives you a money factor, not an interest rate. Multiply it by 2,400 to get the equivalent APR, then check that against what a loan on the same car would cost.
