Leasing can be an excellent way to enjoy a new Genesis with predictable costs and minimal maintenance hassle.

**How Leasing Works**
You pay a monthly fee to drive a new vehicle for a set term (typically 24-36 months) and mileage allowance. Once the lease ends, you return the car. You're not responsible for major repairs-warranty coverage is included.

**Why Lease?**
Enjoy the latest technology, comfort, and safety features. No long-term commitment, no resale hassle. Lower monthly payments than financing. Always drive a Genesis under warranty.

**At Lease End: Your Options**
- **Return the vehicle** - Walk away with no obligations (minus any excess wear or mileage charges).
- **Purchase the vehicle** - Our finance team can help you buy the car at the predetermined residual value.
- **Lease another Genesis** - Upgrade to the newest model and start fresh.

**Get Current Lease Offers**
