Best New Car Deals in Canada: December 2018

Explore This Month's Best Car Deals on our most recent market review.


Winter is here! Ski, snowboarding, skating, ice castles, sleds, Christmas and so the best car deals for December 2018! (offers are all valid until Wed Jan 2nd) If you are looking for a new car this month, then this is the right place to start. Usually one of the most popular months for previous year models (in this case 2018) but still, the most attractive deals, but one, are all coming from 2019 models. No more summary, here is it:

Best Compact/Small Car Deals in Canada

Back to the top, the two most popular compact sedans in Canada: the 2019 Civic and the 2019 Corolla.

2019 Honda Civic CVT starting at 338CAD/month tax. inc. x 60 months

Best Car Deals in Canada December 2018: Honda Civic

Once again, we get the #1 selling car in Canada: the Honda Civic on the newly released 2019 edition. The new Civic (the CVT transmission edition) starts at 338CAD/month tax. Inc. when leased for five years. Insurance costs are about 800CAD per year, and now it comes with the updated volume knob that lots of loyal customers were asking for since 2016 :)

Additionally, the Civic comes with a new trim available (with optional CVT or Manual transmission): Sedan Sport.

2019 Toyota Corolla CVT starting at 249CAD/month tax. inc. x 60 months

Best Car Deals in Canada December 2018: Toyota Corolla

I have a close friend who is a fan of Toyota, and a has an impressive technical background of mechanics and electronics. He has even completely disarmed and assembled a vehicle engine... but that's another story. So his understanding of vehicles is way more deep that most of us, general customers have. I mention this because he was very cautious about the new CVT transmission Japanese manufacturers have been delivering in the last few years.

So the thing is, he finally decided to go after a brand new Corolla, and he loves the Sedan. The Corolla is a perfect combination (even in price-reliability) for a compact vehicle in Canada. The new 2019 Corolla CVT is available at 249CAD/month tax. inc. when leased for 60 months.

The guys from TheStraightPipes recently made a review of the Hatchback edition.

Best SUV Deals in Canada

This month we have three 2019 models ranking as the top candidates for December 2018. The redesigned Santa Fe and the top-selling Volkswagen SUVs of 2018:

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe starting at 476CAD/month tax. inc. x 60 months

Best Car Deals in Canada December 2018: Hyundai Santa Fe

The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is starting at 355CAD/month tax. inc. for 60 months (default Hyundai Canada Warranty Period). It has lots of room improvements, new redesign, and a new 8-speed transmission. It is available since October, and I've seen a lot on the road so far. Great work Hyundai!

2019 Volkswagen Tiguan FWD starting at 447CAD/month tax. inc. x 60 months

Best Car Deals in Canada December 2018: Volkswagen Tiguan

Available only since two weeks ago, the new 2019 Tiguan starts at around 447CAD/month when leased for five years. The model has some minor upgrades from the previous edition which was an incredible redesign success. Many families that I know, have jumped into the new Volkswagen since it was upgraded a year ago.

2019 Volkswagen Atlas FWD starting at 533CAD/month tax. inc. x 60 months

Best Car Deals in Canada December 2018: Volkswagen Atlas

And this is the car I love, drive every day and enjoy like nothing I've driven before. It is been a year since I have my 2018 Atlas and I'm planning to keep it probably one more, even after taking a closer look to the "2019 one", released a few days ago.

The new 2019 VW Atlas is starting at 530CAD/month when leased for five years, although I always encourage to rent Volkswagens for 4, the default manufacturer warranty period. Yuri and Jakub from TheStraightPipes did a great in-depth review back in November about the 2019 edition, just before it went into all dealerships.

Best Luxury Vehicles Deals in Canada

And now we jump into the high-end vehicles segment. Always without forgetting to mention the "super deals" we have in our Lease Takeover Marketplace, specifically for High-End vehicles.

2018 BMW X3 xDrive Automatic starting at 950CAD/month tax. inc. x 36 months

Best Car Deals in Canada December 2018: BMW X3

The new 2019 X3 is coming out in January, so this is the right moment to jump into any of the available 2018 models. The three years lease starts at 950CAD/month tax. inc. with 0 down payment for the 2018 BMW X3 in Canada.

2019 Acura RDX Automatic at 778CAD/month tax. inc. x 36 months

Best Car Deals in Canada December 2018: Acura RDX

And once again, the price for the 2019 Acura RDX is on top of the news. Acura is pushing hard to penetrate the market with the new RDX and is doing it so well. The 36 months lease is starting at 778CAD/month tax. inc. 

The vehicle is in our top lists for the 4th time in a row, since September.

Happy Holidays!

And this is all for 2018! We are looking forward to 2019 and wishing you all the best for the new year.

Happy Holidays from the LeaseCosts Canada team and we will be back again in January, with the summary of the Canadian automotive market waiting for you.
