at 20,000 km a year — that is $35,993 of the original $49,990 sticker price. The Canadian four-year average across all brands is about 67.5%.

Unusual body style; solid but not top-tier retention.

How we work out the projected market value

Projected market value is what we expect the car to be worth on the open market at the end of your 48-month lease — not the buyout price written into the contract. The gap between those two numbers is your equity.

The sum: $49,990 sticker price × 58.0% expected retention = $28,994 at the standard 20,000 km a year, then $0 for driving 20,000 km a year = $28,994. Your contract buyout is $25,995, leaving $2,999 in your favour.

Mileage rule: a used car loses roughly half of what the lease company charges per extra kilometre, so we apply $0 of value per kilometre above or below the 20,000 km baseline (Toyota charges $0 per excess km), capped at 12% of sticker either way.

Checked against real listings: each week we read what this same nameplate, roughly three model years old, is actually being advertised for on Canadian used-car listings. We take the middle price (trimming the cheapest and dearest tenth so one wreck or one loaded trim cannot swing it), cut 12% off it because a dealer never hands you the retail asking price on a trade, and turn that into the share of the original sticker the car kept. That real figure is blended with the award-anchored projection — up to 65% weight when there are plenty of listings, 35% when the sample is thin, and none at all when fewer than four cars are for sale.

Where the retention figure comes from: a term-by-term forecast for this model, built from how the nameplate resells in Canada and its brand record in the published retained-value awards — Canadian Black Book Best Retained Value and J.D. Power / ALG Canada. Confidence on this one is medium. Where no model-specific forecast exists we fall back to the contract buyout percentage, which shows zero equity rather than a guess.

Resale prices move with the used-car market, condition and options. Treat this as a well-informed estimate, not a guarantee.

Handing the keys back

How easy Toyota makes it to walk away at the end of the lease. 5 means relaxed, 1 means every scuff gets billed.

4.8/ 5Very lenient
Damage forgiven at return1.8 / 5 · 35% of the score

$1,000 of wear written off

Scratches, curbed wheels and small dents are the most common surprise bill. Brands that forgive a dollar amount absorb most of it for you.

Charge per extra kilometre5.0 / 5 · 30% of the score

10¢ per km over your allowance

Driving 5,000 km over on a four-year lease costs about $500 at this rate.

Buying kilometres upfront4.3 / 5 · 15% of the score

5¢ upfront vs 10¢ after the fact

A real discount for buying kilometres in advance gives you a cheap way out if you know you drive a lot.

Fee just for handing it back3.0 / 5 · 20% of the score

$350 return fee

This is charged even on a spotless car, though most brands waive it if you lease from them again.

Adding those four up gives 3.4. We then adjust by +1.4 for how this brand actually behaves at return time — how picky the inspection is and how often bills get waived — which lands on 4.8.

Lenient inspection; most small chips and scuffs waived.

Province details — how these numbers were worked out

Sales tax rate: 13.00% (13% HST)

Your payment before tax is $761 a month. Tax of 13.00% adds $99 a month, which is $4,751 across 48 months. In Canada lease tax is charged on each payment, not on the full price of the car, so a bigger down payment or trade-in also lowers the tax you pay.

One-time costs at delivery: $756

  • Licence plate & registration: $59Plate transfer or new issue
  • Tire stewardship levy: $20Charged on the four tires
  • Dealer documentation fee: $599Typical Ontario dealer admin fee (sales tax applies, so 13.00% is added)
Government registration and levies are shown at their posted amount; the dealer documentation fee is taxable, so tax is added to it.

Cash on delivery day: $756

Down payment with tax, plus the one-time costs and any luxury tax, minus any rebate.

All-in cost: $42,049

All 48 payments including tax, plus your down payment, one-time costs and luxury tax, minus any rebate. Subtracting what you get back at lease end ($3,389 of equity) and adding any over-kilometre bill ($0) gives the true cost of $805 a month.

Fees and rebates are current best estimates for Ontario and can change; confirm the exact amounts with your dealer before you sign.
