I leased a 2025 loaded Active in vapor blue. Put $3k down and pay $495 a month. A few days after, I realized the ST Line is mostly just cosmetic, and I’m feeling some buyer’s remorse. If it would’ve only been $20-30 more a month, I’d be pretty bummed I didn’t at least check. Anyone know how much extra the ST Line would’ve been?
Honestly, I call the ST Line the ‘fake ST.’ Plus, the only option right now is cloth seats, and that’s a dealbreaker for me. At least the Active probably has pleather, right?

Yeah, the Active comes with those “leather” seats. I get that the ST Line is more for looks, but seeing that black grille still makes me mad I didn’t get it.

Yeah, the black grille is the only one I like on this new body style. But honestly, a loaded Active is nicer than the ST Line in my opinion. I’m holding off until 2026 to see if they add more colors and fix the 2025 issues. Planning to get an actual ST myself. Right now, I drive a 2022 XLT with the SAP package… can’t stand chrome.
You might want to ask your dealer about that.

I did, but since I can’t switch cars, he told me it’d probably be $60-100 more. I feel like he just said that to make me feel better. If he’d said it was just a few bucks more, I’d be really annoyed.

Mine is $49,900. The ST Line is about $4k more. How does that translate to lease payments, I wonder?

Depends on how long your lease is and the interest rate. Also, don’t forget taxes would be a bit higher.

Just some rough math: $4,000 divided by 36 months (if it’s a 3-year lease) would be around $111 more per month, before taxes and interest.
But I’m not buying it outright, so I wouldn’t think I’d be paying the full $4k over the lease period.
It really varies depending on where you live, but I’ve seen as low as $40 every two weeks.

I’ve never heard of someone pricing something bi-weekly like that. Just curious, is that common? So basically, you’re saying about $80 more a month?
