Be Green And Save Green: Lease A Kia Optima Hybrid For $143/Month (Expired)

2014 Kia Optima Hybrid (source: kia.com)

For 2016, Kia completely redesigned Optima, adding more refinement and content to the popular midsize sedan than ever before. The hybrid version, however, soldiers on unchanged for another year. Thanks to generous cash on the hood to move the not insubstantial inventory of Optima Hybrids, you can now lease one for significantly less than what it costs to lease a standard Optima.

Dating back to 2011 and last refreshed 2014, Optima Hybrid remains a quiet, spacious, and attractive-looking family sedan with touchy brakes and a jerky powertrain. Here's what you need to know about leasing one. 

Current Lease Program - Valid Through July 5, 2016

The cost of leasing a particular car is determined by its lease program, which is set by the manufacturer, and the selling price, which is set by the dealer. Here is Kia Motors Finance's current lease program for 2016 Optima Hybrid assuming top tier credit:
