Subaru Lease Offer: 2023 Subaru Solterra Compact Electric SUV Expired

$900 down or $900 drive-off.

Two completely different numbers that often confuse consumers much to the delight of most car dealerships.

Toyota is clearing out the bZ4X too. Just got home with a 2024 XLE, $2400 drive off, $170/month lease for 36 months. (all numbers tax included). SF Bay Area.

I am new to the lease, $326 (including tax+fees) $900 + $326 first month lease.

Dealer near me is offering something like $15k off sticker.
I guess they can't even give them away...

Utter garbage of an EV. Get what you pay for

Were they not coming down on the down payment?

You may want to look at the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Rated for 360 mile range on a 100% charge, and Hyundai's been doing $7,500 cashback to offset the ineligibility for federal credits. And if you're really lucky, your state won't charge sales tax—NJ didn't for mine.

Very thankful for this comment. Checked out the Ioniq 6 yesterday and loved it. The full range model is quite a bit higher on the leasing side, but the base model is spectacular.

It is very funny because just 2 days back I saw a Huge Tanker pull up to Costco gas to fill their "Underground gas tanks", and I thought to myself that this is so wasteful. Imagine a 150 year old way of producing/tapping into an energy source; being drilled and mined by using a lot of energy; then having to clean/refine it; then the energy required to safely store; then the energy required to pump these reserves across the country or energy needed to transport across continents; then the energy required to just transport it to the final destination like a gas station in my example above; and then the energy required to pump it into the vehicles - All of This energy for it to just burn out forever in a few miles (think again "Forever"); Think of burning a Gallon of gas for 25 miles and now the burnt particulates are in your air forever. Now think Millions of vehicles and Billions of miles later all the gas that you drilled for is no longer there for you to use, because everything was burnt for that one time use.


Now let us look at the Alternate -
The mining of Lithium and Cobalt requires energy; The assembly of the batteries required energy; transportation of the batteries require energy; But once its in the car and being driven it will last for 20+ years and still provide a viable range in the vehicle. Once the car is below a viable range then the remaining cells can still be used to power cell phones and other devices while the spent up lithium and cobalt can be recycled back into usable energy forms.


BTW- add the PV Solar panels to the above equation and now one can charge these batteries (And also power homes for 25+ years) for pure electricity produced by the Sunlight.

Its always great to keep aside own prejudices, media fed frenzy, political agendas heavily pushed via different lobbies for their own purpose and lack of information/understanding to think through problems and solutions. There have been many papers written on these subjects and many people are researching on energy needs, energy independence, energy production, etc. but in just 3 paragraphs I hope to have provided enough information on the wastefulness of a 150 year source of energy and how alternate sources are necessary.


Eventually, and with more research, we may get to even better sources or more efficient production techniques or less mining/better materials available for battery tech, but this is the best bet for now.
