If you’re in the market for a new car, you have a couple of options; you could buy one and deal with its quick depreciation, or lease it and deal with the guarantee of needing a new car after about three years. Hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully-electric models depreciate even faster than gas vehicles (there’s a stark difference between the Mazda CX-90 vs the CX-90 PHEV, for example), so it might be worth it to choose a lease if you already plan on replacing your car every few years.
