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

Hyundai has $10k lease cash. If you can find one that's been on a dealer lot for more than 6 months, Hyundai will throw in an extra $1k (cargurus.com will show you days "on the market" when searching). Hyundai's advertised deal is $300/mo with $3500 down before taxes and fees (in Indiana this ballooned to $320/mo with $4500 down with taxes and fees) for the SEL AWD.
I didn't look for 15k/yr leases, but it seems like Hyundai's best deals are on the 24/12 options. RWD and/or SE trim have some even better deals as well.

Nice. This is helpful. I am in Illinois so not likely to see the crazy deals as shown on the west coast. You got a great deal still. The AWD is tempting for the horsepower alone. I am going to keep watching for deals. The Toyota seems like it could fit our lifestyle better.
