AOL Autos recently picked 20 vehicles for what the site declared as the best October lease deals.

Contained within five vehicles segments — compact cars, family cars, compact crossovers, luxury SUVs and luxury cars — the list included three units from Nissan, the most of any single nameplate. Those three Nissan vehicles were the Sentra, Altima and Rogue.

Honda, Cadillac, Subaru and BMW each put a pair of vehicles on this AOL list. Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Infiniti, Scion, Suzuki, Acura and Kia also had one unit apiece on the list.

“As economy slowly bounces back, the auto dealers are leasing more vehicles — and offering some great incentives keep the momentum going,” AOL Autos correspondent Gary Hoffman wrote.

The editor’s top pick for the month came from Honda, the 2010 CR-V.

 “When it comes to lease rates, it’s hard to find a compact crossover that can consistently beat the CR-V,” Hoffman declared.

“For a little more than $200 a month, you get a stylish, well-appointed small SUV that gets 28 mpg on the highway,” he continued. “It’s a good option for people desiring a little more from their vehicles. The price of the CR-V is relatively high, but that’s not something that you, as a lessee, would necessarily need to worry about.

“Honda can offer a good lease rate on the CR-V due to its high resale value,” Hoffman went on to add. “It will have no problem making a tidy profit on the car after you turn it in a few years from now.”
