The costs per kilometer are decisive in kilometer leasing, especially if they have to be borne privately. With a monthly leasing rate of 117.81 €, the smart fortwo 453 cabrio EQ is an absolutely average value vehicle. When calculating the costs per kilometer, however, a distinction should still be made between a rather short leasing period (2 - 3 years) and a longer one (4 - 6 years). For simplicity, we ignore this difference in the following calculation example and assume a lease term of 36 months at the most favorable lease price . The cost of operating the vehicle, an electric car, so the cost of electricity, amount to just 100 € monthly, as the vehicle is very economical. In addition, there are insurance costs of 35 € per month, which is quite a low amount but of course mainly due to the low gross list price (25200 €) and the vehicle size. The total invoice for this offer also includes the transfer and registration costs in the amount of 690 € (one-time).
The previous costs are now summed and divided by the number of inclusive kilometers (5000 km multiplied by the term 36 months). The final assessment of this offer: The cost per kilometer of 0.33 €, which is classified as average, combined with the very low effective leasing factor of 0.54, make this offer a real leasing deal!.
