Life is unreasonably expensive in our post-pandemic, geopolitically spicy modern world, but life doesn’t wait for prices to fall — if you need a car ASAP and the budget is tight, Jalopnik has your back. This list of lease deals good through the end of March is ranked from the cheapest cost per month to the most expensive cost per month. I based the ranking on real cost, which is listed in the title of each slide and accounts for the advertised monthly payment plus the down payment split evenly across each month of the lease. It’s a great way to contextualize the true cost of the time that a leased vehicle is yours.
This list is directly based on Cars Direct’s cheapest car lease deals for March of 2024. It is a trusted resource for finding great deals on new cars, even the deals that the car dealers don’t want you to know about, so use this knowledge wisely. Unfortunately, many of the lease deals on this list are regional or include brand loyalty discounts, but the best deals on this list are nationally advertised and don’t require you to be an active military officer while also being a student who is brand loyal and also a veteran like so many discounts out there.
This list includes cutting edge electric cars, compact sedans, and an array of trendy crossovers for those of you who need an elevated seating position, so there should be a little something for everyone. I will follow up on this blog with April’s best lease deals as soon as possible.
