Leasing is an option that allows you to pay for the portion of the vehicle's value you expect to use over a period of time, plus a borrowing charge and applicable taxes.
When you buy a vehicle using traditional financing, monthly payments are based on the whole value of the vehicle plus interest. When you lease a vehicle, your payments are based on the portion of the vehicle you expect to use (plus interest) over the lease term, which can range from 36 to 48 months.
