Leasing offers unique benefits and lifestyle advantages when compared to financing a new vehicle.
When you lease a vehicle, you only pay for a portion of the vehicle's depreciation instead of its full Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). This makes monthly leasing payments substantially lower than finance payments on the same model over an equivalent term.
Kia Motors Finance offers lease terms of 24 to 60 months. Lease contracts can vary in length.
With shorter terms, leasing lets you upgrade to a new vehicle more often. At the end of your lease term, you will have several options. If you are ready for a new Kia, simply return your vehicle to your dealership and lease a new one. If you want to continue enjoying your current vehicle, you can contact us to obtain a buyout quote.
TIP: Depending on your driving habits, there are options to purchase additional kilometres at the beginning of the lease contract at a substantially lower cost. If you use your leased vehicle for business purposes, you may be eligible for certain tax benefits. Consult your financial advisor for more information.
When you lease a Kia, you're able to drive a new vehicle and enjoy the benefits of ownership without a permanent commitment.
As our standard, Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)* is included in every Kia lease and protects you if the vehicle is stolen or deemed a total loss, paying the difference between the amount owing on the lease and the insurer's payout.

If you have decided to buyout your leased vehicle, then no inspection is required. Otherwise, every returning lease vehicle must be inspected shortly before or promptly after vehicle turn-in.
Vehicle inspections are conducted by AutoVIN, our third party vendor, and a final Vehicle Inspection Report will be made available online.
When your lease contract is approaching four months to maturity, an End of Term kit will be mailed to your home. It contains important information about your lease-end options and includes a self-evaluation tool card with references to help you make assessments of any excess wear and tear to your vehicle in advance of the inspection.
To assist with your vehicle inspection scheduling, you will receive a lease-end reminder inspection letter from us 60 days from maturity. As well, AutoVIN will be in contact to schedule an inspection appointment at a convenient location, such as your residence, workplace, or your local dealership. Appointments are available Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, or 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
If you plan to return your leased vehicle more than 90 days to lease maturity, it is considered an early return. If you have an early return, please call 1-866-250-3151. You can also schedule an early inspection by calling AutoVIN at 1-800-268-6639. Please visit your local dealership for more information as fees may apply for early termination of your lease contract.
