These October New Car Specials Are Already Here

If Halloween decorations filling store shelves are any sign, fall is here — and automakers are getting an early start, too. October incentives are already rolling out, even though September isn’t over. Acura, Honda, and Volkswagen have all dropped their October offers ahead of schedule, giving buyers a jump on low-APR financing and competitive lease deals.

Here’s a look at the top offers announced so far. All of these deals are valid through November 3, 2025, unless otherwise noted.

Acura’s October Deals

Acura is leaning into affordable financing this fall, with rates well below the national average. According to Cox Automotive, the average new car loan APR is 9.43%, although buyers with credit scores over 760 average 5.50% as of September 2025.

• 2025 Acura ADX — 3.99% APR for 60 months

• 2025 Acura RDX — 4.99% APR for 60 months

• 2026 Acura MDX — 4.99% APR for 60 months

• 2025 Acura Integra — Lease from $369/month for 48 months with $3,799 due at signing

Acura rarely matches luxury rivals on incentives, but 3.99% APR for the ADX stands out. The Integra lease is competitive for shoppers looking at entry-level luxury leases.

Honda’s October Deals

Honda continues to outdo Toyota when it comes to incentives. All of these Honda deals are good through October.

• 2025 Honda Prologue finance deal — 0% APR for 60 months. Also qualifies for the $7,500 federal EV credit if you purchase before September 30, 2025.

• 2025 Honda Prologue lease deal  — Lease from $179/month for 24 months with $3,299 due at signing

• 2025 Honda Ridgeline — 1.99% APR for 72 months

• 2025 Honda Accord — 2.99% APR for 60 months, or 3.99% APR for 72 months

• 2026 Honda CR-V — 3.99% APR for 60 months

Honda’s Prologue offer is a great deal, especially with the soon-to-expire federal EV credit. If you’re considering Honda’s first all-electric SUV, September 30 is the deadline to lock in maximum savings. 

Otherwise, Honda doesn’t have to offer big incentives since their cars usually fly off dealer lots. With that said, the Accord and CR-V have great APR offers for October.

Volkswagen’s 2025 Deals

Volkswagen is pairing low APRs with bonus cash for its larger models while keeping leases affordable on entry-level crossovers.

• 2025 Volkswagen Atlas — 1.9% APR for 60 months or $3,500 cash bonus

• 2025 Volkswagen Taos — Lease from $259/month for 36 months with $4,299 due at signing

The Atlas deal is flexible, letting buyers choose between low-interest financing or a hefty cash rebate. Just note: VW’s EV deals on the ID.4 and ID.Buzz end in September, so don’t wait if those are on your list. The ID.4 is made in Tennessee, and does qualify for the vanishing federal EV incentive.

The Bottom Line

October incentives are off to an early start, but these aren’t the only deals we’ll see. The vast majority of manufacturer incentives will arrive on the first or second of October. With plenty of 2025 models still on dealer lots this late in the year, we expect plenty of zero percent financing, cash discounts, and cheap leases.
