Nissan Drops Can't-Miss Leaf Lease Deal for June
The 2025 Nissan Leaf holds its own as an affordable EV, and it gets even better with a snazzy June lease deal. Electrified affordability in hatchback form The Nissan Leaf was one of the first of its kind, and while it hasn't quite kept up with its latest competitors in terms of tech, it does manage to undercut many of them in price. The 2025 Leaf is one of the few EVs available for under $30,000, making it one of the most affordable models around. With Nissan's latest June lease deal, you can get into a new Leaf for as little as $179 per month, depending on location. That specific lease deal spans a 36-month term and requires a $2,599 down payment. Nissan Leaf brings just enough juice The 2025 Nissan Leaf doesn't exactly stand out from the crowd. In fact, with its simplistic styling, one could argue it was purposefully designed to blend in. The Japanese EV carries over with no major changes for the 2025 model year, and Nissan has already confirmed that the current Leaf will be leaving soon. Notably, however, the automaker plans to revive the nameplate in the future, but there's no set timeline on that just yet. The Nissan Leaf is available in two trim levels, with battery size being the primary difference between the two. The base S trim comes with a 40 kWh battery capable of powering the all-electric hatchback for up to 149 miles. While that might give some commuters range anxiety, those only traveling a handful of miles – or through tight city streets – might find the Leaf fits their needs to a T. The SV Plus features a 60 kWh battery that boosts range to 212 miles. While you won't get the latest tech and premium comfort amenities, the budget-friendly Leaf does feature a few highlights worth noting. An eight-inch touchscreen display comes standard, complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Both trim levels feature four USB ports, along with a seven-inch LCD instrument cluster. In terms of space, the Nissan Leaf boasts up to 23.6 cu ft. of cargo space with the rear seats in their upright position. If you want an EV geared toward comfort, the SV Plus comes with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, among other niceties.

Front-wheel drive comes standard, and there's no all-wheel drive upgrade available. The Leaf's electric powertrain is capable of producing a respectable 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque when paired with the 40 kWh battery. Upgrading to the 60 kWh battery increases performance to a sportier 214 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. Nissan Leaf deals for June 2025 Nissan has never been one to play favorites, and, for the most part, that remains true regarding Leaf lease deals. Most of the United States sees the same lease offer on a new Leaf S with a 40 kWh battery: $289 per month with $2,239 due at signing. That deal is valid for most major hubs, including Seattle, Detroit, Miami, and Los Angeles, as well as Honolulu and Anchorage. Residents of New York City can get that same Leaf model for $269 per month, with a $2,249 down payment. Denver residents seem to get the best lease deal, though, with a $179 monthly payment and $2,599 due at signing. All lease offers run through June 30th, are based on a 36-month term, and include a 10,000-mile allowance. Final thoughts No one is arguing that the Nissan Leaf is the best of the best, but if you want a brand-new EV at an affordable price, there's no beating it. With a starting price of $28,140, the 2025 Leaf undercuts most, if not all, other EVs on the market. Add in Nissan's rather enticing June lease deal, especially for those living in the Denver area, and a new Leaf just looks better and better. Don't forget that time is a factor here, so if you want to get into a new Leaf, act before the end of June!

Test Driving The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe
The Santa Fe's one of those unflashy but solid midsize SUVs that deserves its healthy sales and great reputation for families, tradespeople, musicians and the like. It's gotten a redesign for 2025 and the new edition has all the aspects people liked about it all along. A week's test proved it a solid, nimble SUV. 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe COPYRIGHT_2023 The 2025 model moves away from its previous rounded appearance to a more angular and, shall we say, commanding presence. Its boxier shape improves interior space and aerodynamics, says Hyundai. Pricing starts at $35,775 for the base SE trim, with the top-tier Calligraphy Hybrid, my tester for a week, reaching up to $50,657 with options and delivery charge. 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe COPYRIGHT_2023 It's mod-looking, unusual for the badge. Dual 12.3-inch displays serve as the digital gauge cluster and infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a UV-C sterilization compartment for small items add to its contemporary feel. That means you can throw smartphones, keys, sunglasses, glasses, earbuds, AirPods cases, wallets or loose change in there and they will be germ-free afterward. The higher trims, like my Calligraphy, deliver Nappa leather seats, ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof. The available premium Bose 12-speaker sound system is rich and punchy. 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe COPYRIGHT_2023 The Calligraphy delivers a 1.6T 4-cylinder hybrid engine with a 6-speed automatic. With the electric motor, you'll get a combined 231 horsepower and up to 36 mpg city/highway combined. It's not a rocket and you don't want it to be. It's comfy and composed and the steering is responsive, especially in Sport mode. The suspension smooths out road imperfections, nicely, another reason it would be good for cross-country drives. If it's not remarkable in its handling and road manners, neither is it dull. It gets the job done, and that's what you want. 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe COPYRIGHT_2023 Safety is a strong suit for the 2025 Santa Fe, coming standard with a suite of driver-assistance features including blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and rear cross-traffic alert . The vehicle has earned top safety ratings, one reason it's great for families. The programmable 'forward attention warning' system - a boon so you don't have to constantly do the brake-gas-brake-gas thing in heavy traffic - doesn't work if it senses you're wearing dark sunglasses, heavy eye makeup or blocking the camera with your arm by having it on the steering wheel at 12:00. You can outsmart it, though. The rear liftgate is more squared and opens wider than in previous models. The vehicle is now longer overall, in fact, with a stretched wheelbase that allows for additional interior space, including improved third-row seating. There is more cargo space behind the third row than in the previous model, and legroom has improved in the second and third rows. 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe COPYRIGHT_2023 Roof rails are now standard across all trims. Hyundai has also added a new center console design and relocated some controls for easier access. Conclusion: The redesigned Santa Fe does what it does quite well and it's up to date in its styling, technology, and practicality.
