Kia Lease DealsMarch 2026
Kia is running some of the most aggressive lease programs in the industry right now. The Sportage starts at $178/month, the EV6 at $201/month, and there are over 2,000 active deals in our database across every model in the lineup. Here's what you need to know.
Why Kia Has Become One of the Best Lease Values
Five years ago, Kia was the budget option. Today, the EV6 wins Motor Trend Car of the Year, the Sportage competes directly with the Honda CR-V, and the Telluride is the most decorated 3-row SUV in its segment. The pricing hasn't fully caught up to the quality — which is exactly why Kia leases represent some of the sharpest value in the market. The Sportage starts at $178/month and the EV6 starts at $201/month, which would have been inconceivable for this level of content just three years ago.
Kia's residual assumptions are more conservative than Toyota's, which creates some pricing volatility — but also means occasional programs where Kia Financial runs aggressive promotional MF to move inventory. When those programs hit, you can find EV6 deals under $200/month and Sportage deals under $200/month simultaneously. The database here captures those moments.

Kia EV6 Lease Deals
The EV6 is the most compelling EV lease deal in the market right now. At $201/month for the Wind RWD on a 24-month term (through Tustin Kia), you're driving a 310-mile-range electric car for less than many people pay for a gas-powered compact. The federal EV tax credit passes through Kia Motor Finance on leases, eliminating thousands from your effective cost.
The EV6 Light Long Range RWD comes in around $359/month on a 50-month OEM program. If you want more range and a longer commitment, that's the move. But the $201 Wind RWD deal is what most people should be looking at — 24 months, low payment, no long-term EV commitment risk.
| Trim | Monthly |
|---|---|
| Wind RWD | $201/mo |
| EV6 | $269/mo |
| EV6 Light Long Range RWD | $359/mo |
| EV6 Light Long Range RWD | $359/mo |

Kia Sportage Lease Deals
The Sportage LX starts at $178/month — the cheapest compact SUV lease in our entire database this month. At Kia of Irvine, you can choose between a 24-month or 36-month term at that same entry price, which gives you unusual flexibility.
The Sportage Plug-In Hybrid X-Line starts at $196/month — just $18 more than the base gas model, and you get plug-in capability and a more rugged trim. The Sportage Hybrid LX FWD from the OEM program runs $269/month on a 50-month term. If you drive a lot, the PHEV makes serious financial sense.
| Trim | Monthly |

| LX FWD | $178/mo |
| Sportage LX | $178/mo |
| Sportage | $178/mo |
| Sportage | $178/mo |
| Plug-In Hybrid X-Line AWD | $196/mo |

Kia Telluride Lease Deals
The Telluride S FWD starts at $369/month through the OEM program on a 50-month term. The AWD version adds about $30/month. For a three-row SUV with premium interior quality, those numbers are genuinely competitive — the Telluride routinely wins comparison tests against much more expensive alternatives.
Dealer-direct Telluride deals have been seen starting at $369–$409 depending on trim. If you need to seat 7 people regularly and want something that doesn't look like every other three-row SUV on the road, the Telluride is worth serious consideration.
| Trim | Monthly |
|---|---|
| Telluride S FWD | $369/mo |
| Telluride S FWD | $369/mo |
| Telluride S FWD | $369/mo |
| Telluride | $369/mo |

Kia K5 Lease Deals
The K5 LXS starts at $279/month on the OEM 50-month program. For a midsize sedan with a sportier design than either the Accord or Camry, that's a sharp deal. The K4, Kia's compact sedan, starts even lower at $186/month for the LXS.
The K4 and K5 are underrated options for sedan shoppers who want aggressive styling without paying a premium. Kia's 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty transfer to subsequent owners — which also means strong resale, and strong residuals on a lease.
| Trim | Monthly |
|---|---|
| K5 LXS FWD | $279/mo |
| K5 LXS FWD | $279/mo |
| K5 LXS FWD | $279/mo |
| K5 LXS FWD | $279/mo |
| K5 LXS FWD | $279/mo |
Kia Sorento Lease Deals
The Sorento is Kia's mid-size 3-row SUV and one of the most versatile lease options in the lineup. The Sorento S FWD starts at $319/month through the OEM program — a strong entry point for a vehicle that competes with the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot at a meaningfully lower monthly cost.
The Sorento Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) adds roughly $50/month but delivers significant fuel savings and a 32-mile all-electric range — ideal if you have a predictable daily commute under 30 miles. The Sorento HEV X-Line rounds out the lineup with AWD standard and a sportier stance.

5 Tips for Getting the Best Kia Lease Deal
- 1The EV6 lease is a transactional moment — act on it
EV lease programs shift with inventory, federal credit availability, and manufacturer incentives. The EV6 at $201/month is the kind of deal that can disappear in a monthly program update. If an EV6 lease makes sense for your lifestyle, this is the month to move.
- 2Compare OEM program deals vs. dealer-direct deals
Kia's OEM programs (50-month terms like $219/month for Sportage LX FWD) differ from dealer-negotiated deals. OEM programs are non-negotiable but transparent. Dealer-direct deals (like the $178/month at Kia of Irvine) have more flexibility but require negotiation. Both are valid paths.
- 3Kia's warranty is a lease advantage
The 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty means almost no Kia will have drivetrain issues during a 36-month lease. You're covered for anything significant. This reduces the value of expensive dealer-sold add-on warranty packages — decline them.
- 4Negotiate dealer add-ons, not Kia's base program
Kia Motor Finance sets the money factor, residual, and lease credit centrally — these aren't negotiable at the dealership level. What you can negotiate: the selling price (cap cost), dealer fees, and any add-on packages. Focus your energy there.
- 5Match the term to your lifestyle
Kia offers 24-month and 36-month terms alongside their longer OEM programs. If you want flexibility as EVs evolve, a 24-month Kia EV6 lease at $201/month makes sense. If you hate car shopping, a 36-month Sportage locks in stability. There's no universally right answer.
Kia Lease FAQ
What's a good monthly payment for a Kia lease?
Under $200/month for a Sportage or Seltos is excellent. Under $250 for a Sportage PHEV or Niro EV is strong. Under $400 for a Telluride is competitive. The EV6 at $201/month through dealers is arguably the best EV lease deal on the market right now.
Does the Kia EV6 qualify for the federal EV tax credit on a lease?
Yes. Kia Motor Finance claims the federal EV lease credit and passes it through as a lease subsidy. This dramatically reduces the effective monthly payment on EV6 and EV9 leases. You don't need to personally qualify for the credit — it applies automatically when you lease through Kia Motor Finance.
Can I negotiate a Kia lease?
Yes, with caveats. The money factor, residual value, and any manufacturer lease credits are set centrally by Kia Motor Finance and cannot be changed at the dealer level. What you can negotiate: the selling price (every $1,000 off reduces your payment ~$28 on a 36-month lease), dealer documentation fees, and any add-on packages or accessories.
What happens at the end of a Kia lease?
You have three options: return the vehicle, buy it at the pre-agreed residual price, or (with some exceptions) transfer the lease. Most people return and roll into a new deal. Kia Motor Finance has a straightforward turn-in process. Inspect the car for wear before you return — excessive wear charges can add up.
Is the Kia Telluride a good lease?
It can be. The Telluride has strong residual values because demand exceeds supply in most markets. This makes lease payments more favorable than you'd expect for a three-row premium SUV. The catch: because it's in high demand, dealers have less incentive to negotiate aggressively on cap cost. Compare offers across multiple dealers.
Where can I find Kia lease deals near me?
Carlos tracks live Kia lease deals from dealers nationwide. Every listing includes the dealer name and address, so you can contact them directly. Kia's regional lease programs mean pricing varies significantly by market — California and the Northeast often have more aggressive deals than other regions. Browse by location to find the best offer near you.
The Bottom Line on Kia Leases
Kia is running what might be the best value-per-dollar proposition in the entire lease market right now. The Sportage gives you CR-V quality at Civic prices. The EV6 is the best EV to lease under $250/month. And the Telluride delivers 3-row luxury at half the price of a Cadillac Escalade lease. If you're cross-shopping brands and price matters, put Kia at the top of the list.
