What is the most affordable suv to lease

We researched every new SUV lease deal this month to highlight the best incentives from each brand. With a great SUV leasing incentive, you can get an attractive, up-to-date vehicle without overpaying.

SUV Lease Deal Trends

Each month, we sift through lease deals from every manufacturer and observe notable trends. Over the past few months, many SUV leasing incentives have carried higher payments. Zero-down leases are becoming almost non-existent, and, overall, fewer SUVs are available with special advertised deals.

With that said, this month, we’ve found a notable increase in the number of advertised lease deals compared to past months. Hopefully, as 2022 inventory arrives in larger numbers, we’ll continue to see more appealing incentives.

It’s important to note that lease deals vary by location, so be sure to check online or with your dealer to learn about the best deals in your area. A good credit score is usually required to qualify for the best leasing incentives.

The Stelvio is leasing for $529 per month for 36 months with $6,100 due at signing. Alfa Romeo offers better deals for returning lessees and employees.

The compact Q5 is leasing for around $550 per month with about $5,000 down. Meanwhile, the 3-row Q7 starts at nearly $700 a month with about $5,600 due at signing.
