Labor Day is coming, which means major deals and savings for drivers and car buyers. There are Labor Day promotions running that are taking hundreds of dollars off of the purchase prices of some of the most popular vehicles.
Drivers who want to lease a new car to avoid high monthly payments and the commitment of ownership can find great deals this Labor Day weekend as well.
Here are some of the best Labor Day lease deals of 2026. Note that the availability of these deals is dependent on your location and credit score.
You can lease a 2026 Hyundai Elantra for $209 a month
Drivers can lease a new 2026 Hyundai Elantra for $209 a month for 36 months with $3,499 due at signing, according to U.S. News & World Report. That works out to $11,023 for three years with the Elantra sedan. This is one of cheapest
monthly lease deals for a new car on the market.
The 2026 Hyundai Elantra uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to produce 147 horsepower. It achieves 31 miles per gallon in the city and 40 miles per gallon on the highway.
Hyundai's affordable sedan is efficient, comes with great tech and has a surprisingly roomy interior. The Elantra is great for commuters on a budget.
The 2026 Honda Accord is a great lease deal
Honda's midsize sedan is one of the best in its segment because it's spacious, practical and fun to drive. You can lease a 2026 Honda Accord for $229 a month for 36 months with $3,999 due at signing. That amounts to $12,243 for three years with the roomy midsize car.
The 2026 Honda Accord uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to produce 192 horsepower. It earns 29 miles per gallon in the city and 37 miles per gallon on the highway.
If you have a small family and are looking for an affordable lease deal, the Accord is a solid choice. It has enjoyable acceleration and precise steering while still being practical enough for passengers and cargo.
We tested one of the best Labor Day lease deals
One of the best new vehicle lease deals available for Labor Day is a subcompact SUV I've driven for a week for USA TODAY Cars. The 2026 Buick Envista is a refined and affordable subcompact SUV with a sophisticated interior.
You can lease a new Envista for $219 a month for 24 months with $5,039 due at signing. That works out to $10,295 for two years with the subcompact SUV. This is a great lease deal for drivers who don't want to spend big bucks on a monthly payment or commit to a lengthier lease agreement.
The 2026 Buick Envista uses a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine to produce 137 horsepower. The subcompact SUV achieves 28 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway.
I enjoyed the Envista's cabin quality and classy exterior design. It's an affordable luxury-adjacent SUV with great fuel economy.
