Best Minivan Lease Deals September 2026: Odyssey Leads
Part of our monthly best lease deals coverage. See all vehicle types ranked.
The 2026 Honda Odyssey is the best minivan lease deal in September 2026 at 1.17% LVR, $399 a month with $3,999 due at signing. Honda cut the payment $30 and stretched the term to 39 months, which lifted it from 1.26% in August.
The category thinned to three offers. Chrysler pulled the Pacifica, which led minivans in August at 1.25%, and the two remaining deals are both the Kia Carnival in consecutive model years.
We ranked every advertised minivan lease offer this month by Lease Value Ratio: your monthly payment plus due at signing spread evenly across the term, divided by the sticker price.
We review every advertised minivan lease offer each month and rank them by value against sticker price, not by payment size.- The Honda Odyssey is the best minivan lease at 1.17% LVR, the only one rated Fair, after Honda cut the payment $30 and added three months to the term
- The Chrysler Pacifica has no advertised lease offer this month. It led the category in August at 1.25%
- Only three minivan leases are advertised in September, down from four, and two of them are the same Kia Carnival in different model years
- A three-row electric SUV still beats every minivan on value. The Hyundai IONIQ 9 sits at 0.91% against the Odyssey’s 1.17%
Best minivan lease deals right now
All three advertised minivan leases for September 2026, ranked by Lease Value Ratio.
Honda cut the payment $30 to $399 and stretched the term to 39 months, which moved the Odyssey from 1.26% to 1.17%.
With the Chrysler Pacifica off the board this month, it is both the best minivan lease and the only one rated Fair.
The Carnival MPV is unchanged from August at $399 a month with $3,999 at signing, 1.38% on a $36,990 sticker.
It matches the Odyssey’s payment on a $5,800 cheaper van, which is exactly why it rates worse. You get less vehicle for the same money.
The 2027 Carnival improved slightly to 1.39% after Kia trimmed $10 off the payment, now $409 a month.
One hundredth of a point separates it from the 2026 car. Take whichever one the dealer actually has.

How to evaluate any minivan lease deal
The 30-second deal check
Minivans are priced close enough to each other that the monthly payment can look decisive when it isn’t. The Odyssey and the 2026 Carnival both advertise $399 a month, but one is a $42,795 van and the other is $36,990.
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
For minivans, anything under 1.20% is a fair deal. Only the Odyssey clears that bar this month, at 1.17%. Both Carnivals sit in Average territory, and with the Pacifica gone there is no third option to compare against.
What the ratings mean
Every deal on this page gets a rating based on its Lease Value Ratio, using the same thresholds we apply to every other vehicle type.
Should you lease a minivan or a three-row SUV instead?
This is the most common question minivan shoppers face right now, and the answer depends on what you are optimizing for.
On pure lease value, three-row electric SUVs are still the better deal. The Hyundai IONIQ 9 sits at 0.91% LVR against the Odyssey’s 1.17%, and the Kia EV9 at 1.00% also beats every minivan here. If you are open to electric, the numbers are not close.
Where minivans still win: sliding rear doors, a flat floor, and interior volume no current three-row SUV fully replicates. If you load strollers daily, manage young kids in tight parking spaces, or need maximum cargo floor, the practical case holds regardless of the lease math.
The honest answer for most buyers in September 2026: if you want the best lease value in a three-row, look at the IONIQ 9 first. If sliding doors matter to how you actually use the vehicle, the Odyssey at 1.17% is the best minivan available and the gap to the Carnivals is wide.

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.
