Elantra vs Camry, answered
- Is the Hyundai Elantra or the Toyota Camry cheaper to lease?
- Across live listings the Hyundai Elantra starts at $197 per month and the Toyota Camry at $219 — a gap of $22 per month, or about $792 over a 36-month term before drive-off.
- How many Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Camry lease offers are available?
- LeaseGuru is tracking 26 live Hyundai Elantra listings and 10 live Toyota Camry listings. Counts change as brokers refresh inventory, so treat any advertised payment as a starting point.
- Are the Elantra and Camry the same class of vehicle?
- Yes — both are classified as a car (Midsize Cars), which is why they are compared here. Cargo room, seating, and drivetrain still differ by trim, so confirm the specific configuration behind any advertised payment.
- Which has the lower due at signing, the Elantra or the Camry?
- The lowest published drive-off we see is $1,729 on the Hyundai Elantra and $1,949 on the Toyota Camry. A lower monthly payment paired with a higher drive-off is often the more expensive lease overall, so compare effective monthly cost rather than the payment alone.
