This was in the news. I haven't contacted the dealer yet but it looks like $2210 pay down and $125 a month. My simple math says about $185 a month.
This excludes any dealer discounts. But may exclude some other fees. I have never leased so no clue.
Great as a third car. Note that this model didn't get very good reviews - hence it being priced accordingly.

Toyota built this as a compliance car to fill a gap in the lineup and has zero focus on it or care. If anything, it is the 'look we built an EV, it sucks!'. The first production run had WHEELS FALLING OFF. They recalled every single one! The car is slow and just utterly wild in it's idiocy.
We test drove the badge engineered Subaru version - the Solterra. Same car, different logo.
The list of infuriating choices piled fast. Want to move the driver's seat? BEEPS. CONSTANT BEEPS.
Want to back up? It beeps on the inside and inside only. Who are they warning?! Me? I"M DRIVING THE CAR.
The performance is just bad. It has a quick little bit of torque and then falls on it's face.
Did I mention the range sucks and that the car does not support fast charging so you literally cannot roadtrip it without hour-long-stops?
All in all, it just felt like Toyota was completely uninterested in building it as it is lower margin than gas/hybrid.
Then you have the ioniq 5. Hyundai's focus is straight up on on beating the Tesla Model Y. They are serious and in it. The car is shockingly better looking in person than the BZ4X. The interior feels like tomorrow and has innovative ideas, way more range, way better software, etc.
Korea is currently having the same moment that Japan had in the 90s, Hyundai should be taken seriously, esp in the EV space.
TX offer is $4k down $219 a month plus TTL

Now researching for the 2nd one. Leaning mY unable to decide
I5 is good and depending on the trim you may have enough range for trips. This one is good for local and upto 250 mile trips with 40-60 min charge stops each way. Not bad but not great either
if.you have a fast charging setup at home, this is good for daily commuter and kids activity hauling. It's all about price vs convince. At this price, I would lease another as long as it's AWD
WTF.
This is why the world is screwed. People have more cars than legs.

Just like you, they want everyone to know their opinion. 😂
Its got poor range relative to most new EVs. Slowish charging too. What else?
oh wait... https://www.motortrend.
(I kid, my understanding is that since then they've fixed the issue and sounds like its a fine car. Just got a Toyota myself)

I don't know what Internet or YouTube you watch. The one I see this car has one of the lowest ratings in the EV market.

Nice review.
Hyundai Ionic was my choice until the govt took away the 7500 rebate overnight after passing the IRA. I settled on a Nissan Leaf after that happened but would have loved to get a Hyundai with the rebate.
For leases, the company (Toyota) still owns the car so they pass through the rebate as a "lease incentive", right now as $7,500+ so $17,250/17,750 off.
Do you hear how stupid this argument sounds? Your friend sounds like he might be mentally challenged. You shouldn't take advice from him.
Just imagine having a friend like that...

This thing is widely know to be absolute trash.
