The Honda HR-V is essentially a ground-up design, starting with its 2014 year. While loosely based on some of the elements of the Honda Civic, the HR-V is Honda’s first real subcompact crossover, marking a strong entrance for the auto maker into that market niche.

The exterior styling of the HR-V is aggressive and distinct, giving it a familiar Honda look, with motifs shared by many other of the manufacturer’s products. The HR-V strikes a nice balance between curvaceous aerodynamics and angular channels and grooves, giving the car a street presence not seen in some of its competitors. Most of the automotive press has praised its exterior design, citing both its distinctiveness and beauty.

The interior of the car is refined yet understated. Tasteful chrome accents throughout the cabin give it a feel of something costing much more than its sticker price. And the cloth seats are a surprisingly comfortable material that has both a space-age, upscale look and a nice feel.

The HR-V is also the only crossover compact to go with a completely buttonless and knobless dash configuration. While the total absence of tactile buttons may displease some people, it’s quite an easy setup to get used to. The large touchscreen display has an intuitive user interface and the operation of the controls generally requires less effort than with traditional, knob-based systems.

The driver’s view is filled out with a cluster of three large analogue gauges. These are nice to look at and easily read in all conditions. The steering is both tight and responsive. The HR-V is a fun car to drive and engages the driver with the road in ways that some of the competitors do not.

The power plant is the only point that is somewhat lacking, although it still gets the job done. The 1.8 liter, inline-four cylinder could, perhaps, benefit from a turbocharger. As is, it produces 141 horsepower and 126 pound-feet of torque. Still, the little engine, when mated to the continuously variable transmission, can push the little crossover from 0 to 60 in just 8.5 seconds. That’s not exactly fast, but it’s not slow either. But the tiny, naturally aspirated engine comes with one very nice trade-off. It gets up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway and just under 30 in the city, making it the most fuel-efficient crossover on the market, at least with the standard engine.

The HR-V starts at $20,000, about average for the compact crossover market. Overall, it’s a great value.

Why leasing a Honda HR-V may be the right choice for you

Many people are set on owning their own vehicle. Yet there are many reasons that leasing can be the superior choice. One of the serious drawbacks of owning a new car is that cars are some of the most quickly depreciating assets there are. The average car will lose over half its value within three years of driving off the lot. And it will lost 10 percent of its resale value the moment it leaves the dealership!

This rapid depreciation, coupled with the volatility of the used car resale market, can actually make owning a new car a far riskier proposition than many people believe. In fact, because of their economies of scale and employment of a team of experts in maximizing cars’ resale values, dealerships are often better owners of cars, meaning that they can maximize the value they get from owning a vehicle far better than an average consumer can.

This extra value that dealerships are able to extract from car ownership can then be passed on to the consumer in the form of much reduced lease payments. While the economics are beyond the scope of this article, the results are quite clear. A Honda HR-V can be leased for as little as $150 per month, while an HR-V bought on loan will often have monthly payments of three times that amount.

The Rogue has been a staple of Nissan’s lineup for nearly ten years now. While the first generation had its bout with growing pains, it recruited a large and loyal following for its roominess and unique styling. The current generation has largely worked out the flaws of its predecessors, making the Rogue a formidable competitor in the crossover SUV market space.

The car gets a lightly revamped exterior for the 2017 model year. While the external styling has been the cause of much debate among the automotive press and consumers alike, there is no denying that the Rogue has a look all its own. It may be that the Rogue’s willingness to break all the rules of the crossover SUV style book is what endears it so much to its faithful fan base. There’s no mistaking it for any other of the nondescript blobs of undifferentiated aerodynamism that comprises nearly all of its competition. No matter what one thinks of the car’s aesthetic, credit must be given to Nissan for willing to go Rogue on the design.

The car’s power plant and drive train are competent and proven workhorses that don’t do anything outstanding, yet neither do they do anything poorly. The standard 2.5 liter, inline four-cylinder engine delivers 170 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, enough to get up a mountain at altitude or haul a carload of kids and their gear to a soccer match. The engine is married to a continuously variable transmission, giving a smooth ride and allowing the Rogue to travel from 0 to 60 in 8.5 seconds.

The only disappointment with the Rogue’s power train is the somewhat underwhelming hybrid engine option. In this case, a 2.0 liter, inline-four delivers 141 horsepower. This is augmented by an electric motor that delivers 40 horsepower. However, the fuel savings of this setup are marginal, at best. While the standard 2.5 liter achieves 26 miles per gallon in the city and 33 on the highway, the hybrid setup improves on those numbers by just 2 miles per gallon, making its value questionable.

On a brighter note, the newly revamped interior is a dramatic improvement over prior generations. With available textured leather seats, the cabin comes standard with a 5 inch infotainment display, Sirius XM Radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a whole host of other features. The Rogue also has one of the roomier interiors of its class. With up to 70 cubic feet of available cargo space, there’s never a shortage of room for everything may need to take on a road trip.

Overall, the Rogue is a great value. At just under $25,000, it compares favorably with other cars in its class and, through it’s unique styling and features, has cultivated a loyal following.

Leasing a Nissan Rogue in Philadelphia may be the best choice

No matter what ideas you may have about why leasing is inferior to purchasing, there is one fact that is simply indisputable. Leasing saves massive amounts of money on up-front costs. In fact, so dramatic are the savings that leasing entails, that many people who would not be able to afford any new car can often have their pick of the showroom floor when they decide to lease. Leasing can give those who would otherwise be consigned to buy used, with all the risks and costs that come with used car ownership, to get the safety, confidence and reliability that can only come from buying a brand new car.

A typical bank loan purchase of a new Nissan Rogue may require monthly payments in excess of $500. The same car, when leased, can often be acquired for just $150 per month. Over the life of a 36-month lease, this can add up to thousands and thousands of dollars in savings.

For these reasons and many more, ask your local dealer about current lease deals on the new Nissan Rogue. You’ll be glad you did.

Nearly every United States household owns a car. We need cars to quickly travel to work, university, the park, chauffeur kids around, go grocery shopping; virtually anything you can think of. Since most of us need cars, not just want them, we must weigh options of purchasing a truck, SUV, sedan, or other type of vehicle based on our planned usage. Next, we must figure out how to obtain that vehicle: do we rent, outright purchase a new vehicle, finance a new vehicle; do we visit a dealership, or a private party; and the list goes on, and on, and…

Because motor vehicles almost always depreciate quickly, purchasing vehicles makes little sense to anyone without high disposable incomes. Few people want to purchase old, significantly used vehicles as they require regular maintenance and have strong chances of breaking down. So, what avenue does someone in need of a vehicle pursue?

Leasing a car is undoubtedly the most time- and cost-effective option. There are many benefits of leasing a car as compared to buying a car. Here are several reasons why car leasing is superior to car buying:

Car Leasing Is Significantly Less Expensive than Buying

Outright purchasing a newer-model vehicle is expensive, just as financing the purchase of a vehicle is. Leasing a car costs less than either of the aforementioned two options, in reference to overall cost or each monthly installment.

Unlike buying a car, leasing a car does not require a down payment. Sometimes leasing does require a small security deposit, but no matter how you slice it, leasing’s monthly installments and down payments are much cheaper than car buying.

Leasing a Car Requires Little to no Maintenance

Car lease terms are often short, usually one calendar year at the longest. Many leases last around six months, with options offered to lessees to renew if they so choose.

Lessees often find that lease terms end before any major repairs not resulting from the lessee’s negligence are required.

Also, dealerships make certain to fully service their for-lease vehicles to keep them in tip top shape with long running lives.

Leasing Commonly Results in a Better Car than Buying One

The price of car leasing is much lower than purchasing or financing a car of the same make, model, and condition. As such, lessees are likely able to afford a far nicer car though leasing as compared to purchasing.

Those who lease vehicles are less likely to maintenance the cars themselves than those who purchase them. Because lessees are not necessarily required to perform maintenance themselves, dealerships often require lessees to submit their car every few months for regular maintenance. For which dealerships understand the onus of maintenance and repairs is on their, the lessor’s, shoulders, they commonly perform thorough maintenance whenever possible.

As you can see, leasing comes with the benefits of more affordable newer, nicer cars, and leased cars being more likely to perform more effectively and run smoother than purchase cars.

Lease Terms can be Modified to Suit Lessees’ Needs

Purchasing a car comes with full rights and obligations, which matches the hefty price paid for the car. Leasing usually has a number of restrictions, such as mile limits and other requirements.

Car buying does not require adherence to a contract. Because leasing does require this, terms can be modified to save lessees money. For example, a lessee interested in leasing a car only to drive back and forth to the grocery store may be able to save lots of money by modifying the contract to allow for a low set mile limit.
