Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 Is The Cheapest Lease Deal In America Right Now
Ioniq 6 SE’s are currently available for $239 per month with no money down

Everything is insanely expensive in the U.S. right now, and I’m a sucker for a good deal, so I figure y’all will be happy to hear that the cheapest lease deal in America right now is on the impressive Hyundai IONIQ 6 SE. Apparently, Hyundai sent an unadvertised bulletin to dealers saying the 2024 IONIQ 6 SE can be leased for $0 down, and $239 per month. This deal is only offered until April 1, 2024, so if you’ve been waiting for a sign to get into a new EV, this is it.

A lease deal this affordable is usually limited to super cheap subcompact cars, but the IONIQ 6 is a compelling electrified family sedan with distinctive looks, a solid array of features, and a 240-mile range in the rear-wheel-drive models that are eligible for this deal. The IONIQ 6 SE comes standard with desirable features like heated front seats, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, blind spot monitors, parking sensors, collision avoidance systems, automated cruise control, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and two-zone automatic climate control. These standard features contribute to make this an even better deal. Cars Direct originally reported this incredible lease deal, saying:

The IONIQ 6 is now the cheapest vehicle you can lease in America based on over 540 incentives we analyzed. With an effective cost of $249 a month, the $43,000 EV is over $100 per month more affordable than a 2024 Toyota Corolla LE in Southern California ($382 based on $299 for 36 months with $2,999 at signing).

This lease deal is a 24-month lease, at $239 per month with a mileage limit of 12,000 miles per year, and only requires the first month’s payment at the time of signing. That monthly cost is lower than my current car payment on my 2017 Mini, and the IONIQ 6 is bigger and speedier. At this price I wouldn’t even warn someone about navigating their charging situation before signing the deal since it’s so cheap and it’s such a short lease that you might as well just go for it and ask questions later.

Be forewarned, however; this deal is not advertised publicly, so dealers may not be particularly excited to deliver on it. Hyundai is pushing higher trims and AWD versions of the IONIQ 6 that do lease at slightly higher prices, and if more options, more range, or AWD are on your wishlist, Hyundai still offers great prices on IONIQ 6s with those features, they’re just not as affordable as this lease deal on base IONIQ 6 SEs.

I figure this might be of interest to some of our electric propulsion enthusiasts.

$6k to rent a car for 2 years, not bad
Must be popular with all the food delivery people who would consider it a free car that pays for itself

Oh dang this is the ioniq 6 (not 5) which I just looked up, this is ****ing ugly like sunfire tier ugly, I'm out

[ZipZap]

I have no idea where to fill an Ioniq, but I assume for those in the city this is pretty competitive. Especially if I can give it back with half a battery.

It's got looks only a mother Ioniq could love, that's for sure.

Apparently there's a mandate for all electric cars to have as hideous wheels as possible.

I have not seen a straight Electric yet that has respectable style to it. Just yesterday, I saw that Tesla truck looking thing. Ugly as fk but I will say it had some serious acceleration when he cut across 4 lanes of traffic and took off to avoid getting T-boned

Hyundai Ioniq is not selling as well as their Hybrids which are going like hotcakes and have been for years. Around here at least, most Sonata, Santa Fe & Elantra Hybrids are not on the lot very long and most are pre-sold.

Understand coming from New Mexico, didn't they just discover electricity 20 years ago?, the Indians still think it's evil.

Agree..... Seems like all that creativity got stifled when it comes to looks - and the cybertruck looks like a high-schooler's drawing for an X-man episode....stupid looking IMO.

I HATE when they do that; what does "effective" cost really mean ???

[GrandSportC3]

Not a fan of the looks of the Ioniq 6. I do like the Ioniq 5 but the Ioniq 6 not so much. Still, great value.

[KenHorse]

Betcha anything the Biden Regime is subsidizing the lease costs....

Your appreciation of design sucks.

Uglier than a sink full of dirty dishes.

Reminds me of a Saab.

Looks like someone was shitting out a Saturn and pinched off the loaf too early
