Lower-priced electric cars are on the way. Hyundai is slashing EV lease prices on the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6, offering some of the cheapest rates since launching.

Hyundai looks to keep the momentum rolling as the EV price war intensifies. According to a new bulletin sent to dealers recently (via CarsDirect), Hyundai is making it cheaper to lease an EV.

The automaker cut IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 EV lease prices by $50 a month. Lease deals now start at around $229 per month, the lowest we’ve seen so far.

According to Hyundai’s website, the 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 SE standard range can be leased for as low as $229 per month with $5,006 due at signing. (This includes a $7,500 EV lease bonus.) The IONIQ 6 SE is available for $299 per month, with $4,999 due.

At $229 per month, the IONIQ 6 is even cheaper to lease monthly than the Hyundai Kona Electric at $269 (with $3,999 due at signing).

Hyundai cuts EV lease prices days after Tesla

Hyundai cutting EV prices comes days after Tesla slashed lease prices of its own. Tesla cut lease prices on the Model 3 by up to $100 a month to $329 with $5,524 down.

The price cuts made Tesla’s Model 3 cheaper than the IONIQ 6 by $6 per month. Hyundai made sure to undercut the electric sedan to lure buyers.

In fact, the IONIQ 6 is now cheaper to lease per month than the Toyota Corolla Hybrid ($458) and Hyundai Elantra Hybrid ($458), according to the report.
