To compute the total cost of leasing the car for 4 years, we need to calculate the cost of leasing for 48 months.

The cost of leasing per month is $400.

Therefore, the cost of leasing the car for 4 years is: 48 months * $400/month = $<<48*400=19200>>19,200.

Adding the upfront cost of $4000, the total cost of leasing the car for 4 years is: $4,000 + $19,200 = $23,200.
