Best New-Car Deals

Save money on cars recommended by Consumer Reports

By Todd Young and Jeff S. Bartlett

A great price for a vehicle isn’t necessarily a good deal if the car doesn’t measure up. So we help you choose a good car at a good price with a monthly list of the best new-car deals. The vehicle highlighted below has an attractive incentive that can save you money, and it’s recommended by Consumer Reports, as are all models detailed below.

Other trims on the vehicles listed may also present good deals. Although all incentives eventually expire, they’re often renewed. And even an expired deal can point you toward significant potential savings.

Access research ratings, reliability, owner satisfaction, and the latest dealer pricing by going to our car model pages.

See our full list of this month’s best new-car deals below.
