As of September 2025, several brands are running compelling national and regional lease specials across sedans, SUVs, trucks, and electrified vehicles. Where possible, I prioritized offers that explicitly run until around September 30. Always check your ZIP on the manufacturer site to see the program that applies to your region. (Volkswagen)
Best Of Picks for September
Cheapest month-long EV: VW ID.4 Pro at $129/24mo with $2,499 due in CA/AZ/NV — explicitly runs through 9/30. (CarsDirect)
Cheapest mainstream compact SUV with generous miles: VW Tiguan S around $279/36mo with 12k miles/year typical in the cited example.
Best entry compact sedan value: Nissan Sentra SV around $209/36mo with low due-at-signing; regionally tuned but consistently affordable (some promos end 9/2). (Car and Driver)
Best midsize truck value: Toyota Tacoma SR5 often $249–$299/36mo depending on region and drivetrain; verify current local program after early-month refresh. (CarsDirect)
Best full-size truck baseline: Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 4×4 around $379/36mo with ~$5.5k due; national examples are easy to find (early-month end date noted). (Chevrolet)
Sedans
Nissan Sentra SV (compact): around $209/month, 36 months, roughly $3,3xx due at signing, 10k miles/year. Nissan varies the monthly vs. due-at-signing by region but targets a similar total outlay over 3 years. Many dealer/manufacturer examples show this structure. Offer windows can be early-month in some regions. (Car and Driver, Edmunds)
Toyota Corolla LE (compact): commonly advertised near $229/month, 36 months, ~$2,999 due, typically 10k–12k miles/year; regional programs vary and some are early-month expirations. (CarsDirect)
Honda Accord LX (midsize): strong lease cash and loyalty/conquest incentives make mid-$200s effective payments possible in some markets; examples in CA/FL highlight big savings (some early-month end dates). (CarsDirect)
Why these stand out: compact sedans remain some of the most affordable leases, and brands like Nissan, Toyota, and Honda tune payments by region to land at a similar total lease cost. (Car and Driver)
SUVs and Crossovers
Volkswagen Tiguan S (compact SUV): about $279/month, 36 months, ~$3,999 due, and notably 12k miles/year (36k total) in the example — a higher allowance than many 10k programs. Availability varies by region; many of VW’s offers run through late September. (Nissan USA, Volkswagen)
Nissan Rogue S (compact SUV): commonly around $279/month, 36 months, roughly $3,4xx due, 10k miles/year; terms are similar across many regions. (CarsDirect)
Toyota RAV4 LE (compact SUV): frequently around $309/month, 36 months, ~$3,999 due, 10k miles/year; widespread availability with regional price swings and some early-month expiration timing. (toyotaofpharr.com)
Kia Sportage (compact SUV): aggressive pricing in many markets; base trims often in the mid-$200s to low-$300s depending on FWD vs. AWD and term length. (KIA)
Why these stand out: mainstream compact SUVs have abundant inventory and broad support from captive finance arms; the Tiguan’s 12k-mile allowance is a mileage win versus typical 10k caps. (Nissan USA)
Trucks
Toyota Tacoma SR5 (midsize): widely seen around $249–$299/month, 36 months, ~$3,999 due for SR5 Double Cab 4×2 in some regions; many Toyota pages show early-month end dates, but programs often renew with similar structure later in the month (confirm by ZIP). Select regions also advertise $279/month for 4WD SR5. (CarsDirect, Toyota)
Hyundai Santa Cruz (compact pickup): examples at ~$319/month for 36 months with $3,999 due on SE trim appear across multiple dealers; most listed promos show early-month end dates. (Lancaster Hyundai, Hyundai of Noblesville)
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4×4 (full-size): national examples around $379/month for 36 months with ~$5,549 due; GM’s fine print shows early-September end dates on the featured national program. (Chevrolet, Schimmer Chevrolet)
Why these stand out: midsize trucks like Tacoma typically lease well due to strong residuals; full-size truck deals exist under $400/month but often require more cash due at signing and can be more timing/region-sensitive. (CarsDirect, U.S. News Cars)
Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Volkswagen ID.4 Pro (RWD): headline offer as low as $129/month, 24 months, $2,499 due, 10k miles/year — in specific Western regions — and VW indicates ID.4 incentives running through September 30. This one is explicitly month-long. (CarsDirect, Volkswagen)
Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE (Standard Range RWD): nationally promoted low-payment leases have circulated this summer; confirm ZIP-specific terms post-Labor Day as Hyundai programs often refresh after the 2nd of the month. (CarsDirect)
Honda Prologue EX: highly aggressive EV leases in ZEV states — examples at $159/month for 24 months with low due-at-signing; also a one-pay $4,800/24-month program (~$200/mo effective) in many states. Many of these had early-September end dates, but Honda’s broader Prologue lease push is ongoing across ZEV and non-ZEV states. (CarsDirect)
Toyota bZ4X XLE: widely advertised around $189/month, 36 months, $3,999 due, 10k miles/year in several regions; many dealer pages list early-month expirations, with Toyota’s regional sites showing similar structures. (CarsDirect, Toyota)
Why these stand out: EV leases leverage the federal $7,500 incentive passed through on leases, often producing sub-$200 payments. The ID.4 and Prologue have been standout value plays; bZ4X pricing remains extremely competitive in several markets. Check for programs that explicitly say “offer ends September 30” (VW lists month-end timing on select EV offers). (CarsDirect, Volkswagen)
Hybrids & Plug-In Hybrids (PHEVs)
Toyota Prius LE (hybrid): commonly listed near $299/month, 36 months, $2,999 due; many dealer and Toyota regional pages reflect this structure, though some show early-month expiration. (Toyota, CarsDirect)
Kia Sportage PHEV / Kia Niro PHEV: PHEV SUVs frequently show low 24-month payments (mid-$200s) thanks to lease cash; availability and pricing vary by region and trim. (CarsDirect)
Jeep Wrangler 4xe (PHEV): eye-catching sub-$200/month promos appeared in CA with loyalty and a low 5k-mile/year cap; most examples show early-September end dates. (CarsDirect)
Why these stand out: standard hybrids tend to track their gas counterparts on payment, while PHEVs benefit from sizable lease incentives — great if you want EV commuting without going fully electric. (CarsDirect)
Regional Notes (What to Expect by Area)
VW: Volkswagen’s national offers page shows ID.4 programs running through September 30; many dealer specials echo late-month timing. Tiguan pricing can be sweetened in select regions with dealer-added bonuses. (Volkswagen, Castle Volkswagen of Downers Grove)
Toyota: Strong regional variability. Many Prius, RAV4, and Tacoma examples on Toyota regional sites list early-month expirations, then refresh; some areas (e.g., Greater NY) show Tacoma SR5 4WD at $279/month. Always plug in your ZIP on Toyota’s incentive pages. (Toyota)
Honda: Prologue lease support is especially aggressive in ZEV states (e.g., CA, NJ, NY), with unusually low monthly payments and an optional one-pay program; watch the exact expiration and eligibility (loyalty/conquest). (CarsDirect)
Chevy: Silverado 1500’s nationally referenced $379/36mo lease is widely visible across dealer sites, but many note an early-September end date; regional GM programs can alter due-at-signing requirements. (Chevrolet, Schimmer Chevrolet)
How to Use This List (Practical Tips)
Check the expiration line: prioritize offers that explicitly say “Offer ends September 30,” like VW’s ID.4 programs. Others may post-Labor Day refresh with similar terms — confirm after the 2nd. (Volkswagen)
Match the mileage: some EV and PHEV deals with ultralow payments use 7,500–10,000 miles/year (or even 5,000 on certain 4xe offers). If you need 12k–15k, ask the dealer to quote the adjusted residual. (CarsDirect)
ZIP matters: manufacturer sites change pricing by region while holding total cost similar. Always enter your ZIP on the official offer pages before you head to a dealer. (Volkswagen)
