Maserati Ghibli 2014 Lease
For compact sports sedans, the song remains the same—to borrow a track from Led Zeppelin. In 1973, that song opened Houses of the Holy, the first Zeppelin release after four self-titled albums that had launched the band from nowhere to rock legend in less than three years. A short time later, the BMW 3-series would follow a similar trajectory. By 1981, it became the first BMW model to break one million sales. Greta Van Fleet may be reviving Zeppelin in the modern era, but numerous car companies have followed in the footsteps of the 3-series. That's why compact sports sedans are a staple of car-magazine comparison tests.
The current crop of sports sedan commands premium money, but not too much money. The sweet spot for these leases is between $400 and $500 a month, and—excepting two outliers—that's what we've brought here with this list of eight appealing sport sedans. Given the current inventory shortages, we couldn't find any national lease deals for the Acura TLX, Infiniti Q50, Lexus IS, or Jaguar XF (which is technically mid-size but is priced like a compact). There's also no Tesla Model 3 lease deal, because Tesla.
You'll find the same key elements in each of these cars: sharp looks, good handling, willing engines, and the refinement of a car that's on a higher pay grade than a mainstream mid-size. This formula hasn't changed in decades nor is it likely to—at least until the inevitable transition to EVs—and we're good with that.
But first, read our guide to learn if leasing a car is right for you. We've covered everything that may get glossed over in the showroom: advertising fees, money factors, residuals, legal implications, and all the other fine print that could cost you thousands more than you'd expect. When comparing similar cars, be aware that a lower monthly price often demands more money up front. As with any national lease special, enter your ZIP code on an automaker's website to check if these deals apply to your area. Prices may be higher or lower depending on the region. Research is always your friend.
BMW
2022 BMW 330i
$479 per month/$3999 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
Let's start with the brand that started it all. It's true that BMW has expanded the 3's reach beyond purists like us who prefer our steering and suspension to be masterful extensions of our bodies. In other words, the 3 is softer and more comfortable as a commuter car than it's ever been, and yet if equipped properly, it can still turn loose like the old days. This rear-wheel-drive 330i has the 255-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four, which is the best in the business. You'll get the M Sport package, which adds sport seats and a more athletic suspension, plus big-car luxuries such as heated armrests. Leather, a panoramic sunroof, and metallic paint are all included too.
Audi
2021 Audi A4 45 Premium
$479 per month/$4429 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
The song certainly remains the same for the 2021 Audi A4, which to most looks like a 2011 A4. We'd like to say that simple design never goes out of style, but among the other cars here, the A4's styling is just boring. The 201-hp base engine is well behind the others, but this lease is for the A4 45 Premium, which has 261 horsepower. The interior is typical Audi high quality, but again, the appearance is perhaps overly familiar. These days, the best Audi designs are saved for truly special sedans such as the A7 or sleek EVs such as the e-tron GT.
Alfa Romeo
2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti
$409 per month/$6102 at signing
42 months/35,000 miles
Alfa knows how to make sedans pretty, and it has figured out how to make the Giulia pretty sweet to drive. This Alfa has one of the best electric steering racks we've experienced in a modern car and a chassis that's perfectly sorted just as it is, no special options needed. This lease is for the rear-wheel-drive Ti with a 280-hp turbo-four, and includes 18-inch wheels, a dual-pane sunroof, navigation, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and oak trim. (Oh, just in case you're wondering, the racy Giulia Quadrifoglio is more than $900 a month after nearly $8000 at signing.)
Volvo
2022 Volvo S60 B5
$355 per month/$3655 at signing
36 months/22,500 miles
When I took my 1998 S70 for service last month, I hoped the dealer would hand me a swanky S60 as a loaner. Instead, it was a four-year-old V60 with 30,000 miles (to be expected, perhaps, with new cars in such short supply). The front-wheel-drive S60 B5 Momentum that's on offer here is the spiritual successor to that old S70, with its fabric seats and Volvo's rotary seat-recline controls. Fortunately, today's S60 has a pleasant interior even without leather, and the seats are some of the best you'll find. This base Momentum trim skips Volvo's Pilot Assist and other higher-tech options but is still fairly well equipped.
Mercedes-Benz
2021 Mercedes-Benz C300
$449 per month/$4584 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
Before an all-new C-class debuts next year, Mercedes is offering some deals on the current C, which still feels rich and sophisticated after six model years. Gorgeous wood sweeping across the dash, impressive tech, and a cushy ride do justice to the Mercedes name, and the C offers higher-quality materials and greater refinement than you'll find in the cheaper A-class. Even so, buyers should try to negotiate since this lease will keep you locked in until 2024, long after the arrival of the newer, hotter C-class. Alternately, one might look at a used C-class; not much has changed since 2015.
Cadillac
2021 Cadillac CT5
$429 per month/$3559 at signing
39 months/32,500 miles
We're all about the CT5-V Blackwing these days, since that model beat the BMW M5 and Audi RS7 in our recent comparison test. You can't get a Blackwing for this price, of course, but you can get the same handsome body and a similarly balanced chassis—fundamentals that Cadillac sedans have been nailing for the past decade. This lease is for the standard turbo-four with rear-wheel drive in the base Luxury trim. This engine, unfortunately, isn't nearly as quick as rivals' four-cylinders, and the Cadillac's interior is somewhat wanting.
Genesis
2022 Genesis G70 2.0T
$409 per month/$3699 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
A better alternative might be the Genesis G70, a freshly redesigned car from a fresh new brand. Everything about this car, from the double-bar headlights to the sprightly chassis and ritzy interior, has been carefully considered to beat the lazy incumbents in this field. This offer is for the entry-level G70 Standard with the base 2.0-liter turbo-four and rear-wheel drive. Your neighbor might not know what Genesis is, but when you can drive a car with this much presence at this price (with service included), the G70 speaks for itself.
Maserati
2022 Maserati Ghibli Modena
$1015 per month/$5999 at signing
36 months/30,000 miles
Okay, this one's a bonus track. With a twin-turbo V-6 built by Ferrari and leather by Ermenegildo Zegna, the Ghibli is a 424-hp indulgence unlike any of the other cars here. We disliked this entry-level Maserati when it came out in 2014, but in its later years, the Ghibli has aged like the sweet Modenese vinegar. The Maserati's technology is much improved and feels more worthy of its M3-level price. A Maserati still doesn't make a whole lot of rational sense, but if you're going to indulge, might as well do so while the savings are hot.
