EV Lease Deals for 2025 Models: August Roundup
As the summer draws to a close, several automakers are offering attractive lease deals on their electric vehicles (EVs) for the remaining months of 2025. Here's a rundown of the current deals available for the 2025 Honda Prologue, Volkswagen ID.4, Hyundai IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and Subaru Solterra.
2025 Honda Prologue
The Honda Prologue offers one of the lowest monthly payments at $159, but requires a hefty $2,599 down payment. The lease deal also benefits from the EV lease loophole, allowing it to pass through the $7,500 federal tax credit. Additionally, a $3,500 loyalty or conquest bonus is included in the deal. The Prologue's lease is only available in California and other CARB states.
2025 Volkswagen ID.4
August 2025 lease details for the ID.4 are less prominent, but competitive pricing is expected given market trends.
2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5
The IONIQ 5 provides flexible lease terms with modest monthly payments and a higher due at signing. Lease deals start at $149 per month for 36 months with $3,999 due at signing (10,000 miles/year). The SE Long Range trim leases at $189 per month for 36 months with the same due amount, offering more range. These deals are current as of mid-2025 and likely remain valid into August. The IONIQ 5 lease deals are available through September 2.
2025 Hyundai IONIQ 6
The IONIQ 6 SE Standard Range lease is available for $169/month for 24 months (12,000 miles a year) with $3,999 due at signing. Hyundai is offering up to $11,750 in lease cash on the IONIQ 6. An extra $1,000 Inventory Coupon is offered if you lease a 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 6 that has been sitting on the lot for 180+ days. Offers for the IONIQ 6 are available through September 2.
2024 Subaru Solterra
As the 2025 Solterra model is not yet available, we'll look at the 2024 model instead. Lease offers start at $249 down and $249 per month for 36 months with an MSRP around $46,340. Offers apply to 2024 or 2025 models and expire around early September 2025.
Comparing the Deals
The Honda Prologue offers one of the lowest monthly payments, but requires a higher down payment. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 provides flexible lease terms with modest monthly payments and a higher due at signing. The Subaru Solterra lease is more expensive monthly compared to the Prologue and IONIQ 5. Specific updated Volkswagen ID.4 deals for August 2025 were not detailed in available sources, but competitive pricing is expected given market trends.
Important Notes
All offers often exclude taxes, title, and other fees, and some are limited to certain states (e.g., California and ZEV states). The deals mentioned are only available until September 30, as the federal tax credit for EVs is set to disappear on that date.
