As 2025 approaches, some car shoppers are finally seeing relief after years of price hikes. Several popular cars and trucks are getting price cuts in the new year. With automakers competing for U.S. market share and adapting to market demands, a few fan-favorites are over a thousand dollars cheaper for the new model year. Here’s a look at four crossovers and one popular pickup truck that are all receiving price cuts for 2025.

2025 Ford Escape ST-Line (-$1,500)

2025 MSRP with destination fees: $29,490

The 2025 model year is the last call for the Ford Escape. After two decades in the Ford lineup, the Escape will be discontinued to make way for EVs. As interest in the doomed crossover wanes, Ford has announced lower pricing for the 2025 model year. The popular Escape ST-Line is $1,500 cheaper for 2025.

2025 MSRP with destination fees: $46,110

When it comes to 2025 Ford Explorer pricing, trim options matter. Although the Explorer’s base MSRP increases by nearly $3,000, the more popular Explorer ST-Line gets $1,400 cheaper for 2025. Don’t pay a dollar over MSRP for this SUV!

2025 Mazda CX-5 Premium Plus (-$1,300)

2025 MSRP with destination fees: $36,620

Mazda sold over 70,000 CX-5s through the first half of 2024, but that’s not keeping them from launching an all-out price war with the crossover competition. For 2025, the Mazda CX-5 Premium Plus gets $1,300 cheaper.

2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV LT eAWD (-$1,200)

2025 MSRP with destination fees: $48,995

Finally, more than a year after the Blazer EV arrived as a 2024 model, sales are starting to pick up. With a stop-sale for software issues well behind us, more drivers are scoring great deals on the sporty electric crossover. For the 2025 Blazer EV, GM is aiming to boost sales with a starting price that’s $1,200 lower.

2025 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 (-$300)

2025 MSRP with destination fees: $67,795

The GMC Sierra 1500 is the only truck with falling prices for 2025. Even so, it’s hardly a discount. The popular AT4 spec is $300 cheaper for 2025. Not all trim options are seeing price cuts, but it’s worth mentioning due to rising prices for most of the full-size truck competition. However, seasoned truck buyers know that big cash and financing discounts are likely to arrive later in 2025 for those with patience.
