What goes up, must come down, even in the stubborn auto market. We’ve been tracking new car inventory for months as dealer lots have steadily filled up, at least for some brands. The inevitable is finally happening: new car incentives are returning, and they’re back in a big way. Whether you’re looking to buy or lease, here’s where the best cash and financing incentives are today.

The Best Auto Loan Rate Offers

Want to finance your car with an irresistibly low interest rate? It’s not easy to do considering that the average APR for new car loans has climbed to 7.2%. These brands are offering appetizing APRs in August:

Hyundai, Ford, and Nissan: APR as low as 0.0% for most models. This is where you’ll find the best auto loan deals in August!

Chevrolet: As low as 1.9% APR for their sparkling 2023 models.

Honda: Save money on interest with APR as low as 0.9% for most models, including the Accord, Odyssey, Passport, Pilot, and others.

Subaru: APR as low as 1.9% for 2023 models, including the Outback, Crosstrek, Ascent and more. 

Volkswagen: APR as low as 1.9% for the Taos and Tiguan crossovers.

Here’s every automaker’s best financing offers this month.

Cash Incentives Return

When new car inventory climbs, cash incentives come roaring back. For models with high inventory right now, manufacturer incentives are piling up. And when it comes to cash incentives, the deals are lavish:

Ford Mustang Mach-E: $3,000 off MSRP (but be wary of the dealers who continue to mark up their EVs).

Hyundai IONIQ 5 & IONIQ 6: Save a whopping $5,000, with existing Hyundai patrons getting a sweetened deal of up to $7,500 off.

Jeep: Adventure more with $4,750 off the Wrangler and $4,000 off the Grand Cherokee. Jeep inventory is through the roof, and prices WILL come down further.

Nissan Ariya & Kia EV6: Electrify your drive with up to $3,750 off. It’s notable that neither comes with the revised EV tax credit.

Toyota: Enjoy a lavish $7,500 cash incentive with the all-electric bZ4X, with the RAV4 Prime and Prius Prime following closely behind at up to $6,500 cash back. However, Toyota’s Prime models are still in short supply, so expect to shop around.

The Best Is Yet to Come

The new car market is undergoing an upheaval, and incentives are likely to get better in the weeks ahead. The combination of 7%+ interest rates, MSRP hikes and a softening used car market all point toward less demand for new cars. This is especially true for overpriced trucks and SUVS.
