Best Luxury Lease Deals, April 2026
Sharpest luxury lease offers in the US this month. BMW, Mercedes, Genesis, Lexus, Audi, and Volvo with money factors and total drive-off.
Luxury lease rates softened this spring as captive lessors push 2026-model-year inventory. Genesis remains the value play in the segment. BMW and Lexus held money factors flat. Mercedes pulled hardest on its EQE and EQS to clear unsold EV stock. All offers below are 36-month, 10,000-miles-per-year programs in the US, current through April 30, 2026.
Total drive-off includes first month, acquisition fee, and capitalized cost reduction. Tax, title, and dealer fees vary by state and aren't included.
Sport sedans
| Model | Monthly | Drive-off | Residual | Money factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 BMW 330i xDrive | $499 | $4,995 | 60% | 0.00125 |
| 2026 Mercedes C 300 4MATIC | $539 | $4,799 | 58% | 0.00135 |
| 2026 Genesis G70 2.5T AWD | $429 | $3,499 | 56% | 0.00098 |
| 2026 Audi A4 45 quattro | $549 | $4,995 | 57% | 0.00150 |
| 2026 Lexus IS 350 F Sport AWD | $469 | $3,999 | 60% | 0.00115 |
Genesis G70 is the best deal in the segment. Per-month-cost-of-ownership including drive-off comes in nearly class="relative z-10"00 below the segment average, and the residual is competitive enough that you can buy out the lease at year three without losing money.
Compact luxury SUVs
| Model | Monthly | Drive-off | Residual | Money factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 BMW X3 30 xDrive | $589 | $4,995 | 61% | 0.00135 |
| 2026 Mercedes GLC 300 4MATIC | $619 | $4,899 | 59% | 0.00140 |
| 2026 Genesis GV70 2.5T AWD | $499 | $3,799 | 58% | 0.00098 |
| 2026 Lexus NX 350 F Sport AWD | $529 | $3,999 | 62% | 0.00125 |
| 2026 Volvo XC60 B5 AWD | $549 | $4,495 | 56% | 0.00145 |
Lexus NX is the residual king of the segment at 62%. That's the figure to focus on if you might buy the lease out later. Genesis GV70 has the lowest total cost of ownership across the lease term.
Mid-size luxury SUVs
| Model | Monthly | Drive-off | Residual | Money factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 BMW X5 xDrive40i | $769 | $5,995 | 58% | 0.00150 |
| 2026 Mercedes GLE 350 4MATIC | $799 | $5,499 | 57% | 0.00155 |
| 2026 Genesis GV80 2.5T AWD | $649 | $4,499 | 56% | 0.00120 |
| 2026 Lexus RX 350 AWD | $629 | $4,995 | 64% | 0.00115 |
| 2026 Volvo XC90 B5 AWD | $719 | $4,995 | 55% | 0.00170 |
Lexus RX is the only luxury SUV with a 64% residual on this list. If you typically buy out leases, this is the math. Genesis GV80 still wins on monthly cost.
Luxury EVs (loyalty cash applies on most)
| Model | Monthly | Drive-off | Residual | Money factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 Mercedes EQE 350 4MATIC | $599 | $4,499 | 50% | 0.00125 |
| 2026 BMW i4 eDrive40 | $549 | $3,999 | 54% | 0.00115 |
| 2026 Genesis GV60 Standard AWD | $479 | $3,799 | 51% | 0.00105 |
| 2026 Audi Q4 e-tron 50 quattro | $529 | $4,499 | 53% | 0.00125 |
| 2026 Volvo EX40 Twin Motor | $499 | $4,295 | 50% | 0.00135 |
EV residuals across the luxury segment dropped about 4 percentage points after the Section 30D credit ended last September. Mercedes is leaning hardest into lease pricing to compensate. The EQE 350 lease specifically includes a $7,500 lease cash that essentially replicates the lost federal credit.
What to watch
- First-month payment waiver programs run with most German captive lessors right now. Ask explicitly.
- Multiple security deposits (MSDs) drop the money factor on BMW, Mercedes, and Audi by up to 0.00060. Each MSD is one month's payment, refundable at lease-end.
- Loyalty bonuses at Genesis and Lexus add class="relative z-10",000 to class="relative z-10",500 off drive-off for current owners. Stack them with the offers above.
The strongest plays this month: Genesis G70 sport sedan, Lexus RX for residual, Mercedes EQE if you want a luxury EV at a price that finally makes the math work. Ask for a sample lease worksheet before you commit. The residual and money factor are the only two numbers a dealer can't quietly inflate.
