Financing vs. Leasing Hybrid and Electric Honda Vehicles
Financing and leasing are both fantastic options to save on getting behind the wheel of an electrified vehicle. At Honda Santa Maria, we have a great selection of hybrid and electric vehicles, but which option is right for you? If you are curious about the cost comparison of leasing vs. financing, our team is here to help.

Why You Should Lease a New Honda EV or Hybrid Vehicle
Leasing is a fantastic way to save on new hybrid and electric vehicle costs. Electrified vehicles are often much more expensive upfront than their gas counterparts, but their overall costs to own are lower since there is no fuel to buy and maintenance is minimal. Leasing is often a much more affordable and accessible way for more drivers to opt in on an electrified vehicle option. You should consider a lease if any of the following sound like they would be beneficial to you:
- Leasing payments are much lower than financing a purchase
- We can apply the clean vehicle tax credit directly to your lease, lowering the payments instantly
- Avoid depreciation (loss in value) that comes with new cars
- Easily upgrade to the newest models and keep up with the latest technology advancements
Why You Should Buy or Finance a New Honda EV or Hybrid Vehicle
Most people choose to finance a vehicle because the costs make more sense for those who drive more than the average miles per year (12,000 to 15,000 miles annually). There are many great reasons to finance, and there are opportunities to save when you take advantage of tax rebates, incentives, and special offers for financing with Honda Santa Maria:
- Save with finance offers, which can help offset the upfront costs of more expensive hybrid and electric vehicles
- Enjoy special bonuses and perks like complimentary charging or privileges like HOV access
- Resell or trade at any time
- Enjoy the freedom of ownership with no mileage limits or other fees
