2012 model lease rates remain unchanged. 2013 don’t look half bad either. The numbers for the Azera are out and they look average. If you compared it to the Lexus ES350, they aren’t too far off from each other. A couple things to be aware of though; Hyundai has bumped the prices to many of their 2013 models significantly. Sure, they remain well equipped, but the price gap between comparable models seems to be dwindling. See stories below:

2013 Hyundai Equus Officially Hits $60,000 Mark, Thanks To Price Hike
2013 Hyundai Elantra Gets Price Hike
2013 Hyundai Accent Gets $2,000 Price Increase

So there you have it, expect to pay more for a Hyundai going forward.

I have mixed feelings because I feel it is a little too early in the game to be jacking up the prices by the thousands (about two years ago, I would have never considered leasing a Hyundai).  Will I get another Hyundai after my Sonata? Probably, but the price advantage is slowly disappearing, which may dissuade me from getting another one down the road.
