As we approach the end of 2024, now is the time to score big deals on new SUVs. Many dealerships have excess inventory, especially leftover 2023 models, making these vehicles ripe for negotiation. Here are the five most negotiable SUVs for year-end shoppers in 2024.
#1 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer tops the list with a 275-day supply (193% above the market average). There are 2,587 Grand Wagoneers currently for sale, and 23% of them are 2023 models. That’s the most of any mainstream model on sale today. As Jeep’s most expensive vehicle ever, with an average price of $102,479, the pressure is on dealerships to clear out old stock. Right now, Jeep buyers can take advantage of 0% APR for 36 months or 3.9% APR for 72 months. We expect these Jeep deals to get even better in the final weeks of 2024.
#2 Ford Escape
The Ford Escape is next on the list with a 160-day supply and some serious manufacturer incentives. In late October, there are 52,832 Escapes for sale nationwide, including 1,000 leftover 2023 models. Ford is offering attractive incentives, such as 1.9% APR for 60 months plus a $4,000 trade assist. Additionally, you can sign an Escape lease deal for $279 per month for 36 months with $2,429 due at signing.
#3 Dodge Durango
The Dodge Durango has a 152-day supply (62% above average), with 15,801 units on sale, including over 700 remaining 2023 models. Despite its high average price of $53,800, Dodge is offering up to $5,950 in cash discounts, making it a highly negotiable SUV this year-end sale season. Right now, you can lease a Durango for $379 per month for 36 months with $4,199 due at signing.
#4 Kia Sorento
The Kia Sorento has a 134-day supply (43% above average), and there are 31,176 Sorentos available. Kia is offering 0% APR for 48 months or a Sorento lease deal of $269 per month for 24 months with $3,999 due at signing. The Sorento received a big facelift for 2024, but remains a slow seller. SUV shoppers should use this to their advantage.
#5 Nissan Pathfinder
Rounding out the list is the Nissan Pathfinder, with a 114-day supply (21% above average) and 19,187 Pathfinders still on sale. Nissan is offering attractive incentives, including 0% APR for 36 months plus a $1,500 cash discount. If you’re looking for a negotiable SUV, the Pathfinder is worth a test drive.
Thousands of SUVs Are On Clearance
Time flies, and 2024 is already nearing its end. As 2025 approaches, dealerships are eager to clear out their remaining inventory, particularly leftover 2023 models. If you’re in the market for a new SUV, now is the time to negotiate—aim for up to 25% off the original MSRP on remaining 2023 models, and at least 10% off of remaining 2024s with high inventory.
