Best Mazda Lease Deals On Hatchbacks And Sedans
2026 Mazda Mazda3 Lease Deals
Close
There are two Mazda 3 lease deals available for July, and they’re both a good way to get behind the wheel of a car for under $250. The Mazda3 Sedan deal you can get this July is one of the cheapest lease deals in America right now — for only $199 per month, you can drive a brand-new Mazda3 2.5S FWD sedan with a six-speed automatic transmission. This is the base model in the 2026 lineup, and it comes with a four-cylinder engine making 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, and earns excellent gas mileage figures of 27/36/30 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycles. You’ll need to put down $3,499 at signing, but the deal lasts for 36 months with effective costs of $296 per month.
As one of the cheapest new sedans in America, the Mazda3 Sedan is an excellent option for many reasons, including:
- Low Mazda lease prices and excellent fuel economy make this extremely affordable
- Classy cabin with space for the family
- Superb reliability with 0 recalls for this model year
- Near-perfect safety record with a Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS for 2026
2026 Mazda Mazda3 Hatchback Lease Deals
Close
If you prefer the sexier looks of the Mazda3 Hatchback, you can get a similarly good deal there for the same initial amount and time span, with the entry-level 2.5 S hatch going for $250 per month (effective cost $347). The smaller of the Mazda3 siblings has the same engine specs as the sedan above, but it has some additional charm:
“It wants you to drive it, not check out and follow rote routes, whether around town, on a commute, or on a back road. If you like to be involved in the driving experience or just like to hustle, you’ll appreciate the Mazda 3 Hatch. The steering is perfectly measured for weight and feel, the suspension is compliant but alert, and the engine and transmission have an urge to them.”

2026 Mazda CX-30 Lease Deals
Close
The Mazda CX-30 is the most awarded small SUV in the USA from a safety perspective, bagging numerous of the highest titles from the IIHS and NHTSA over the last five years. It’s also incredibly affordable while punching well above its weight with a top-end cabin that feels much more premium than its pricing would have you believe. And, with the latest price drop on Mazda lease deals, you can drive a 2.5 S AWD model for just $242 per month (effective $353) over 36 months. $3,999 is due at signing, and you only have two weeks to act before the deal expires.
If you need more reasons to take Mazda up on this deal, consider that the CX-30 has:
- Sporty driving nature that makes this fun to pilot
- Stunning cabin you won’t find on anything else in this price bracket
- Loads of standard features in the base model
- 2026 Top Safety Pick+ award with a host of top scores in crash tests
2026 Mazda CX-50 Lease Deals
One step up in size in the Mazda lineup, you get the CX-50, which is a little more of a rugged take on the evergreen Mazda CX-5. It’s also a little bigger than that model, and while it’s a compact crossover, it makes for a good family vehicle. The 2.5 S Select is the base model, but it comes with all-wheel drive and the 2.5-liter Skyactive four-cylinder engine that makes 184 hp and 185 lb-ft. Fuel economy is relatively good at 24/30/26 mpg.
Like most of Mazda’s new cars, the CX-50 comes with an interior that belies its price: leatherette and leather are standard, a 10.25-inch full-color display is included with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, an eight-speaker sound system, and Alexa built-in. The lease deal available on this model from Mazda is $280 per month (effective $391) over 36 months, with $3,999 due at signing.
- The CX-50 offers more standard features and a better interior than rivals like the Toyota RAV4
- JD Power says the CX-50 is reliable, scoring it at 71 out of 100 for Quality and Reliability, and 77 out of 100 overall.
2026 CX-50 Hybrid Lease Deals
The CX-50 Hybrid Preferred takes everything that’s good about the standard CX-50 and makes it more efficient. You also get more power from this model over the entry-spec ICE version, at 219 hp. Fuel consumption numbers are impressive, at 39/37/38 mpg, while still retaining the excellent cabin and fun-to-drive nature of the car as a whole.
The Mazda lease deal you don’t want to miss asks for $369 (effective $480) over 36 months, with $3,999 due at signing.
“The Toyota hybrid system doesn’t use a transmission with gears, meaning the acceleration is uninterrupted, but it sounds very different from other Mazda vehicles. This might take some getting used to for traditional Mazda owners, but it seems like the company did a nice job insulating the engine noise from intruding into the cabin. The CX-50 Hybrid feels noticeably quieter than the RAV4 Hybrid, both in terms of engine and road noise.”

2026 CX-5 Lease Deals
The CX-5 has been around since 2013 and earned a reputation over the course of more than a decade for being more than just a generic family hauler. That’s because the CX-5 is one of the few SUVs that actually manage to make driving fun – and the new iteration is even better. For 2026, the CX-5 was substantially updated, sporting a longer wheelbase for improved legroom in the back, and some much-needed tech upgrades that bring the infotainment system to above-average standards. The new CX-5 also sports the now-signature high-rent cabin, and was part of the reason Mazda set new safety records this year.
This is the perfect car for the growing family, and to get behind the wheel of a brand-new CX-5 2.5 S Select AWD, you should capitalize on the latest Mazda deal that offers it at just $318 (effective $429) per month, over 36 months. $3,999 is due at signing. Check out our test drive of the latest CX-5 to understand why we would jump at this special offer.
“Mazda’s value proposition for the CX-5 is always strong, and has managed to keep the price down while keeping the driving experience strong and carrying taller people around in the back without them complaining.”

Mazda Leasing Deals On Midsize SUVs
2026 Mazda CX-70 Lease Deals
One of Mazda’s newest models, the CX-70 was introduced to those who loved the practical-yet-premium CX-90 but didn’t want the third row of seats. Carrying every advantage from that model, the CX-70 is currently being offered on two exceptional lease deals by Mazda, the first being this one: 3.3 Turbo S Premium AWD for $522 (effective $633) per month over 36 months, with $3,999 due at signing. The Turbo S Premium is one step away from being the top trim in the lineup, so it comes with almost all of the luxuries the brand offers.
The CX-70 may look unassuming, but it’s truly a premium product at a premium-adjacent price. It manages to outdo higher-end German rivals in some key areas, and also comes with a slew of other pros and cons that should put this family hauler on your radar:
- Looks good – inside and out, with three-zone climate control, Nappa leather, heated and ventilated seats, and more
- Feels good to drive and has great powertrain options
- Despite its handsome, refined look, it can tow more than an equivalent BMW
- Has a Top Safety Pick+ award for 2026
2026 Mazda CX-70 Hybrid Lease Deals
Close
The CX-70 also comes in a plug-in hybrid version that takes an excellent package and adds more power and better efficiency to the mix. With hybrid power, the CX-70 PHEV makes 323 hp over the standard 280 hp, but also gives you the benefit of 32 miles of all-electric range and gas mileage ratings of 61 MPGe.
You can drive the new CX-70 PHEV on Mazda’s latest lease deal for just $370 (effective $481) for 36 months, with $3,999 due at signing.
“The CX-70 [makes you enjoy your trip] with a smooth, quiet ride that again gives a touch of luxury car. The responsive engine makes it a relaxing experience for the driver with no worries about whether there’s enough power to merge or to pass slower vehicles. It has plenty of oomph and the transmission does a solid job of delivering that power.”

2026 Mazda CX-90 Lease Deals
Close
The Mazda CX-90 comes into the mainstream three-row SUV segment with a lot more polish and premium features than its price would suggest. The standard ICE model has a turbocharged inline-six engine with 280 hp, 332 lb-ft, and all-wheel drive. The Turbo Preferred trim sits one step up from entry level, and is being offered on this special lease deal by Mazda for $448 (effective $559) over 36 months, with a $3,999 payment due at signing.
The Turbo Preferred comes standard with:
- Three-zone climate control
- Radar-based cruise control
- Leather-trimmed seats with heating and ventilation in the front
- Second row heated seats and a heated steering wheel
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Wireless phone charging
- Three rows of seating with seating for eight in total
2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid Lease Deals
If you want a little more power and a lot more efficiency from your three-row Mazda SUV, this lease deal is the one you don’t want to miss – it’s for the CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid Preferred AWD, a $50,000 SUV at only $460 per month (effective $571) over 36 months, with just $3,999 at signing.
The CX-90 brings the fight to such established names as the BMW X5, but offers a much better value proposition by costing $25k less. There’s inline-six power, a refined cabin, top-notch safety ratings, and the brand’s reliability to make this an even more compelling option in 2026.
“The interior feels on par with the luxury segment, and the driving dynamics are actually superior due to the CX-90’s rear-biased platform. Whether or not consumers will sacrifice the perceived prestige of owning an Acura or Infiniti for a Mazda remains to be seen, but the CX-90 proves that it should be taken seriously as a luxury challenger.”

Mazda Sports Car Lease Deals
2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata Lease Deals
Close
The most iconic affordable sports car in the world has been around for more than 30 years, and is still considered the epitome of what a driver’s car should be: engaging, light, responsive – and reasonably priced. And, if you’re lucky (and a true enthusiast), you should be able to row your own gears. With this lease deal, Mazda makes it easy for anyone to get behind the wheel. The offer is valid for the 2026 MX-5 Miata Club with the manual transmission, asking for $3,999 at signing, and a monthly cost of $469 (effective $552) over 48 months.
What you get for the money is the mid-tier trim with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual that sends 181 hp to the rear wheels. As standard, the Club trim is the best value for money with heated seats, a nine-speaker Bose sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Alexa built-in, and an 8.8-inch color display. There is a reason the MX-5 is the longest-running new sports car in America – and this is a deal you shouldn’t sleep on.
“There aren’t many cars this reasonably priced that offer so much in terms of fun, driving pleasure, fuss-free commuting, and a load of features. There’s a reason the Miata has a cult-like following across all its generations, and the latest models are likely to gain just as many fans.”

2026 Mazda MX-5 RF Lease Deals
Close
The final lease deal Mazda has for July 2026 is on the hard-top version of the iconic Miata: the MX-5 Miata RF. RF stands for ‘Retractable Fastback,’ which switches out the standard soft-top on the Miata for a folding hard-top. Key differences between the regular soft-top and the RF models include:
- Hard retractable roof that folds back and leaves rear pillars upright (making it a little heavier overall)
- Trim levels: RF models come in just two trims, while the soft-top gets an additional lower-spec base model
- Pricing: Whereas the soft top ranges in price from $30k – $36k, the RF costs $38k – $42k, depending on trim
The lease deal from Mazda for the Miata RF is for the Grand Touring model with the automatic transmission, which is the top trim in the lineup. You can drive one today for just $534 per month (effective $617) over 48 months, with $3,999 due at signing. Whether you’re a young enthusiast, a lover of beautiful cars, or an empty nester, the Miata RF is the ideal car for you.
