Why have lease payments increased so much since 2020?

Several factors combined to push lease payments higher: vehicle prices rose sharply during the chip shortage (2021-2023), interest rates climbed as the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate, and residual values became less predictable as the used-car market fluctuated. While conditions have stabilized somewhat in 2026, average payments remain higher than pre-pandemic levels.
