Sources and read dates
  • The listed payment the Leasehackr pre-negotiated board listing, read Nov 5.
  • Fees at signing the Leasehackr pre-negotiated board listing, read Nov 5. Where the ad gives no fees, we assume a $500 transfer fee, or the typical money due at signing.
  • Tax State revenue department pages, 50 of 51 states sourced. Read Oct 30.
  • Extra miles the Leasehackr pre-negotiated board listing, read Nov 5. Where the ad gives no per-mile rate, we use $0.25 a mile.
  • Insurance (about) The Zebra model quotes and MoneyGeek 2025 state averages. Quotes read Oct 19, state table read Oct 30.
  • Gas (about) U.S. Energy Information Administration (gas, week of Nov 2; electricity, August 2026). Read Nov 5.

This adds payment, tax, miles, insurance and gas at 12,000 miles a year at U.S. average prices. The receipt adds every cost.

An estimate, not a quote. The payment, fees and tax come from the listing and the state’s rules; insurance and gas or charging are our estimates. Your dealer, insurer and driving set the real figures. How we estimate

Incentives

  • We did not read any incentive for this offer. That does not mean there is none. Ask the dealer about lease cash, loyalty, military and college graduate offers.

Rule: an incentive counts only when its source says it comes on top of the advertised payment, so nothing is taken off twice. Offers for a group count only when you say you are in it.

Real Lease Check™

How this price compares

One of the lowest costs for this kind of car

At 12,000 miles a year and U.S. average costs, 480 of the other 522 similar luxury SUVs we price today cost more than this one.

vs 522 luxury SUV deals today, at 12,000 miles and U.S. average costs

This check looks at price only. It cannot say whether the car fits you.

The math behind this

About 92 of every 100 similar luxury SUVs we price today cost more than this one. Pool: the live ranked luxury SUV deals we read, luxury makes with luxury makes only, each priced at the same miles and costs. A car that is not confirmed counts at its worse number.

Facts stated by the source on Nov 5, 2026.

The cheapest live car outside this brand is the 2026 Toyota Tundra with a Real Lease Cost of $500 a month. This car is $493 a month more than that.
