7 lease deals under $300 per month for November 2026

Jalopnik found seven models from Mazda, Subaru, Honda, Toyota, Kia, Nissan and Chevrolet with factory lease offers below $300 a month, but most limit miles and require strong credit.

Jalopnik reports that seven new vehicles are available on factory lease deals for less than $300 per month as of late October 2026. The average lease payment in September 2026 was $617, up 0.7% year over year, so these offers come in at less than half that figure.

The lowest of the group is the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4X4 crew cab at $189 per month. Jalopnik notes the truck has a $56,795 MSRP before a $2,795 destination fee. The catch: a $7,199 down payment, or $4,619 if you already own a 2021 or newer Chevy. The lease runs 24 months with a 20,000-mile total limit and a $0.25-per-mile overage penalty. Only well-qualified lessees who currently own or lease a qualifying Silverado are eligible, and delivery must happen by Nov. 4, 2026.

The Kia Seltos LX with AWD leases for $239 a month over 36 months with $3,799 due at signing, according to Jalopnik. The offer limits driving to 10,000 miles per year with a $0.20-per-mile excess fee. It includes heated front seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and adaptive cruise control.

Also at $239 per month is the 2026 Nissan Altima SV with front-wheel drive. Jalopnik says the deal requires $3,009 down and caps mileage at 10,000 per year with a $0.25-per-mile penalty. Lessees can buy extra miles in advance for $0.10 each, but unused miles are forfeited. The Altima carries Consumer Reports' highest predicted reliability score in its class.

Jalopnik reports the 2026 Mazda CX-30 2.5 S leases for $241 a month over 36 months with a $2,999 down payment. The lowest down payment on the list, it restricts mileage to 7,500 per year with a $0.15-per-mile overage charge. The CX-30 gets standard all-wheel drive and a new brake-enabled limited-slip differential.

The 2026 Honda Civic Sport Hybrid and 2026 Toyota Corolla Hybrid both lease at $259 per month. Jalopnik says the Civic requires $3,999 down, a 10,000-mile annual limit, a $0.20-per-mile penalty, and a 39-month term. It earns EPA ratings of 50 mpg city and 47 mpg highway and makes 232 pound-feet of torque. The Corolla Hybrid also requires $3,999 down with a 10,000-mile annual cap and $0.15-per-mile overage. Its EPA ratings reach 53 mpg city and 46 mpg highway. The Corolla Hybrid includes 24-hour roadside assistance but trails six other entries in Consumer Reports reliability ratings.

The 2026 Subaru Forester Base leases for $279 per month over 36 months with $4,278 due at signing, according to Jalopnik. The annual mileage limit is 10,000 with a $0.15-per-mile penalty. Standard equipment includes Subaru's EyeSight suite with adaptive cruise control, lane centering, lane departure warning, lane keeping, automatic pre-collision braking, and automatic emergency steering. EPA fuel economy is 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.

Jalopnik warns that all offers expire Nov. 2, 2026, except the Silverado which runs through Nov. 4. Every deal targets well-qualified shoppers, and some lease amounts vary by zip code. Buyers should check with local dealers for terms and conditions.
