2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy 36/10 Lease (NY)

I am trying to negotiate a deal based on the current 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid lease deal that gives it a 64% residual after 36-months with .00229MF.

Here is my lease calculator for my target deal. Dealer is currently at $634 which I estimate to be 7.5% off MSRP. For a cash deal the dealer was offering me $6,000 off MSRP, but is not currently willing to apply that to a lease deal.

The dealer was focusing on the Monthly payment so I told them if they do $569 with no money down except DMV fees I will be in to pickup the car tomorrow. Me trying to explain how I got to that number to the sales person sounded like it was going over his head.

Also, I know the Infinity QX-60 lease deal for a vehicle that is $10k more appears better, but when you add in additional fuel, insurance, and having to pay fees again in 27-months, the Santa Fe makes better financial sense (AI helped me figure that out)

TIA

How does your target deal compare w/ what you’ve seen in the Marketplace?

I can’t find any 2025 Santa Fe Calligraphy deals on Marketplace.

4

The incentives in your calc need to be moved to taxed instead of untaxed. And you need to add reg/dmv fees

Thanks, payment goes up to $575 now.

I plan to pay DMV fees up front so I didn’t bother putting those into the calculator.

There is a listing in CA for a Calligraphy:

$2000 due at signing + $595 Broker Fee

36/7500 - $549 plus tax
36/10k - $562 plus tax

Then the calculator you’ve posted is not an accurate reflection of the total least cost or the effective monthly.

Update, the best offer I have negotiated so far is $636 per month + DMV sign & drive. Here is the Lease Calculator for that deal with a score of 7.5.

7.5% is terrible on a 2025. 2026 will have better lease programs.

Hyundai is providing $2,250 lease cash for 2025 models and $250 for 2026 right now. The residual is slightly improved. The other factor is that 2025 includes 3-years of maintenance and they discontinued that on 2026 models. That is worth ~$500.

Open to suggestions?

This is the final deal(Calculator) I got and I will explain why it makes sense to me compared to QX-60 (or other vehicles I could have considered). Once everything is signed I will post to deals to help out others.

-Insurance cost is $500 less per year
-Estimated gas cost is $600 less per year based on our typical mileage
-It includes a factory tow hitch for our bike rack (I was going to have to install an aftermarket myself)
-It has factory Pirelli Scorpion MS tires (good for Northeast weather) so hoping I don’t need to swap them out during the lease
-More technology and features than the Infinity QX-60
