Hyundai Kona SUV Now Leases From $139/Mo, $0 Down + TTL
Car shoppers often hyperfocus on how big of a discount they can negotiate off MSRP.
However, when it comes to leasing, there are a few other factors that are just as important: specifically, the residual value, money factor, and incentives. These three lease program variables are set by the manufacturer’s finance arm and they greatly affect how much it costs to lease a given model.
Take, for example, Leasehackr’s current Pre-Negotiated Deal on a 2026 Hyundai Kona SE (a compact crossover SUV) available in Southern California:
• MSRP: $27,435
• Pre-negotiated price: $24,435
• Lease incentives: ($3,000)
• Effective price: $21,435
This Pre-Negotiated Deal includes a significant dealer discount off the original MSRP. When combined with lease incentives offered by Hyundai Motor Finance (HMF), this represents a whopping $6,000 in total savings.
But the dealer discount is only one part of the equation.
This month, HMF set an unusually high 24-month residual value for the Kona in Southern California. HMF estimates the 2026 Kona SE will still be worth $20,028 at lease end (73% of MSRP), much higher than we typically see for vehicles of this class.
With such a small gap between the price ($21,435 after incentives) and the residual value ($20,028), there is very little depreciation over the term of this lease — leading to an extremely low lease payment overall.
The result:
👉 $139/month + tax with $0 down payment
👉 Upfront taxes & fees due at signing (est. $2,559 with 9.75% CA tax + registration)
👉 24 months and 7,500 miles/year (add $11/month for 10K miles/year), OAC
👉 Expires December 26, 2025 or until sold out.
