Leasing cars can sometimes lead to surprising deals. Take the Lexus ES, for example. Right now, you might be able to lease a 2024 Lexus ES 350 FWD for less than what you’d pay each month for a 2025 Toyota Camry XLE, which is considered a more affordable car.
The Lexus ES is known for its comfort and luxury, making it a desirable option. Normally, its high price would put it out of reach for many budgets. However, due to certain lease deals, it’s now more affordable than the Camry.
The lease deals for the Camry just became available as it recently entered production. The starting lease price for the base LE model is $359 per month for 36 months with a $2,999 payment due at signing. But if you want the higher-end XLE model, you’ll need to pay $469 per month for 36 months with the same down payment, making the effective monthly cost $552.
On the other hand, the base model of the 2024 Lexus ES 350 FWD is currently offered at $399 per month for 36 months with a $4,999 down payment, resulting in an effective monthly cost of $538. This makes it a more budget-friendly option compared to the Camry XLE, although the initial down payment is higher.
While the Camry boasts updated styling and impressive fuel economy, the ES provides a more luxurious experience. It offers a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine with 302 horsepower and a comfortable ride. Plus, it comes with various amenities at a reasonable price, making it an attractive choice for those seeking both luxury and affordability.
