Coming off a cheap Blazer EV lease, EV SUV lease suggestions under ~$600 effective?

, ,

My 2024 Blazer EV lease is ending in July. I had a pretty insane deal on it — effective monthly was around $225/month. I reached back out to the same dealership hoping they could do something similar on their remaining Blazer EV inventory, but the numbers were nowhere close this time around. Best they came back with was about $12k one-pay for 24 months, so I’m probably out on that.

Now I’m trying to figure out what the good EV SUV deals are these days. I’m in the Midwest and pretty open-minded at this point. AWD preferred, but otherwise I care more about the deal than the badge. Looking to stay under roughly $600 effective monthly if possible.

Are there any models/manufacturers that seem to consistently lease well right now or have strong incentives? Curious what people are seeing lately.

I’m also in Midwest looking for an ev, but I can’t go as high as $600. Currently have a 2024 KIA ev6 that I love. I’m hoping to get a similar deal on a 2025 but I’m doubtful.

Start scouring here…

Prologues are still very cheap on single pays…I’ve seen some effective under $250/mo. (plus tax).

My blazer ev lease ends in June and I’m in the same boat. All the EV leases are so expensive right now, and def not going back to gas. I might buy a used EV

Definitely should be able to get an EV6 or even an Ioniq 9 at around 600/m effective. Pretty sure there are PNDs at these prices.

Would you mind sharing the deal that you saw?

Get the Optiq. Even the base trim has got so many features standard.

A dealer near me offered a 36mos/10k lease for $3k down and $810/mos for a Prologue EX AWD priced at $34k.

Run from that dealership! With $810, you can get 2 Prologues.

But the dealer said she will “save a lot of many on gas” . New mantra these days. LOL.

Or 4 elantras from @aronchi :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

We replaced our $220 Blazer EV with a $329 Lyriq loaner, instead of a $450+ Blazer EV loaner with less equipment than the $220 Blazer EV we already had.

(we are aware that the lyriq is weird looking)

It’s not quite in the effective $600/mo range, but since you mentioned strong incentives on an EV SUV, take a gander at the Lucid Gravity Touring specials right now. There’s a huge push to clear the MY’26 inventory sitting on the lots. You can get $13.5k off in incentives ($18.5k with any trade-in) and their MF and RV is improved from prior months. Can probably get a pre tax monthly in the $700s/mo if there’s a low MSRP Touring eligible for all incentives, otherwise $800s/mo should certainly be doable.

Edit: replied to wrong post initially

I guess it was back in September last year.

?

We got the Lyriq in March.

We haven’t even returned the Blazer yet. I’m sitting in it right now.

Get it. March was completely different. Even in April we were getting Prologue for $250/m. LoL

My reply was, “This is ridiculous.”

In the same boat as you. Lyriqs seem to be the way to go but dealers are pesky.

Why? Based on math or emotion? If you know and have calculated your numbers on a target deal/DAS you will get a lot more credibility…and can make a real offer…and can debate them on facts.
