Leasing typically requires good credit because the lender takes on risk-the car is their asset until lease-end. A strong credit score improves your chances and often gets you better terms.

That said, credit situations vary. Some lenders work with challenged credit if you have a co-signer, a larger down payment, or recent credit improvements. It's worth exploring.
