Providing as a data point from a family member who got this car in Aug 2026.
MY27 already out. Only a handful of MY26 SE left within 500 mi radius (MY26 qualify for $9k rebate on 36mo lease).
2026 Hyundai Ioniq5 SE AWD
MSRP: 42,8XX
Rebate: $9000
Dealer Discount: $500
Doc fee: $799 + some taxes
36 mo/12k
$1000 DAS (incl first payment)
$493/mo incl NC tax
None of the dealers were giving more than $750 discount in the area, this particular car was picked based on distance and color combo.
Dang that’s what an SE AWD will cost you these days?? That seems crazy high to me and am looking for a similar monthly on a Limited AWD…I love mine, though, so enjoy the car
I’m spoiled with my ~250/mo 2024 SEL AWD but that’s up in a month and I’m scrambling to find something under $500 that I actually want.
yea good ol’ days. Those days are long gone.
SEL was at least $50/mo more
I have recalibrated my expectations accordingly.
This is the best a respected LH veteran can do — this is a sign of the times.
That’s a nice one!
Did you read the part about “providing a data point from a family member” ?
I started a thread in Off-topic about this being the worst leasing market I’ve seen since starting this 7 years ago. Economy is supposedly horrible but new cars are selling at record numbers without massive discounts or incentives. I don’t get it.
I don’t think it’s the worst leasing market. Covid was worse, dealers were not discounting at all and often charging over MSRP due to limited production. Also MSRPs keep going up.
EVs have lost federal rebate incentives combined with lower than average RVs so they don’t lease as well anymore.
Why are you bitter, I’m just making a point that the market sucks
Not if you are looking for a Mercedes product. Like any other time in recent memory, there is always at least one manufacturer having a fire sale. It may not be the one you want, but it’s usually palatable.
