As the holiday season approaches, car dealerships are revving up to close the year on a high note by offering irresistible deals. Whether you've been eagerly waiting for a fresh ride or contemplating a lease upgrade, December brings a plethora of opportunities to drive away in a new vehicle at a bargain price. Here's a roundup of some of the best lease specials you can find this month.

Check Our Leasing Guide

Before you step into a showroom, make sure to check out our comprehensive leasing guide. It covers essential details often overlooked when closing a deal, such as advertising fees, money factors, residual values, and legal nuances that could impact your financial outlay. Remember, while a lower monthly payment might seem appealing, it often requires a heftier initial payment. It's crucial to verify regional applicability by entering your ZIP code on the automaker’s website. Keep in mind, prices may fluctuate based on location and don't typically include taxes or fees.

Toyota is extending lease terms by three months to reduce monthly payments. Despite lukewarm reception to its redesign, the Toyota Tacoma presents a great lease opportunity. Currently, leasing a base SR5 or a TRD Sport costs relatively less, with regional variations in pricing. Especially appealing is the offer in metro Boston, which excludes the Gulf region.

Ford is offering competitive lease terms on the Lightning, making it a cost-effective choice compared to other pickup trucks, partly due to federal EV incentives. It boasts a 240-mile range suitable for its size and capability. This deal stands out in Florida, inclusive of a home charger installation, optimizing your cost over a three-year period.

With Volkswagen's "Sign Then Drive" promotion, you can drive home a 2024 Tiguan without any down payment, albeit with taxes and fees. This offer applies particularly to front-wheel-drive S models, a spec with upgraded features compared to previous years. Similar deals apply to other models, such as the 2024 Taos and 2025 Atlas.

The 2025 Mini Countryman, larger and more powerful, offers an attractive lease. The new model is equipped with a 241-hp turbo-four engine, coming in the stylish Signature Plus trim, which includes navigation and a panoramic sunroof.

Among the largest midsize SUVs, the Lexus TX350 offers spacious interiors and plush driving experiences. Despite its turbo-four engine being on the slower side, leasing a Premium AWD trim with luxurious features such as a 14-inch touchscreen and a power-folding third row offers great value.

As a 39-time 10Best winner, the Honda Accord remains a strong performer. The base LX trim provides excellent handling and high fuel economy. With an additional conquest credit available, this lease deserves consideration for those switching from a competitor or current Honda.

For those willing to splurge, the BMW Z4 M40i combines style and performance. As a two-seat roadster, it stands out for less than an M4 Convertible, providing an exhilarating driving experience in a unique package.

Explore these enticing leases before this season's sales events close. With thorough research and preparation, you can secure a deal that not only fits your budget but also brings home your desired ride.
