Best SUV Lease Deal Ever?
Since we started publishing these Monthly Car Lease ratings using our unique LVR (Lease Value Ratio) formula, SUV's have typically not ranked very well except for the Toyota RAV4 which had some incredible lease specials 12-18 months ago. While this month's winner, the Chevy Traverse is only FWD, it offers a lot of SUV for the money. The Traverse carries a $30,240 sticker price but leases for only $299.00 a month with no money down for 39 months. The 39 month lease term is a bit odd, but is certainly no reason to take advantage of this special offer if you're in the market for the utility of an SUV and not too concerned with the lack for AWD. Right there with the Traverse is the Chevy Malibu Lease: Just $229.00 a month and nothing down gets you into a $22,755 car for 39 months. This is all great news for Chevy fans. Just 15 months ago, there was no leasing available from GM at all. Now, we've got the two top lease deals for December, both owned by Chevrolet.
