The Fastest-Selling SUVs in March 2026
In 2026, some SUVs and crossovers are being scooped up as soon as they hit the lot, while others are sitting unsold for more than a year on average. Whether you’re a buyer looking for a deal or a seller trying to time the market, understanding which SUVs are moving (or not) is essential.
We analyzed March car market data to find the SUVs with the lowest and highest market day supply (MDS). MDS is a measure of how many days it would take to sell through current inventory at the current sales pace. Here are the winners and losers in 2026’s SUV market.
Top 10: The Fastest-Selling SUVs Right Now
These are the fastest-selling SUVs and crossovers this month. These models have the lowest market day supply, which means they’re in high demand, and are likely harder to negotiate on due to limited availability.
| Make | Model | Market Day Supply | Total For Sale | 45-Day Sales | Average Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lexus | GX | 19 | 1,634 | 3,821 | $81,327 |
| Toyota | Sienna | 34 | 11,277 | 15,032 | $52,582 |
| Mercedes-Benz | G-Class | 35 | 819 | 1,059 | $206,673 |
| Toyota | RAV4 | 36 | 24,644 | 30,490 | $37,950 |
| Toyota | Corolla Cross | 36 | 18,290 | 22,666 | $31,621 |
| Toyota | Highlander | 39 | 8,649 | 9,884 | $54,091 |
| Toyota | Sequoia | 41 | 4,584 | 5,001 | $84,707 |
| Lexus | RX Hybrid | 41 | 5,842 | 6,418 | $64,626 |
| Lexus | NX | 42 | 1,505 | 1,605 | $51,668 |
| Cadillac | Escalade ESV | 44 | 1,270 | 1,296 | $127,469 |

March is yet another month dominated by Toyota and Lexus. The 2026 Lexus GX is the fastest-selling SUV right now, with inventory sitting on the lot for just 19 days on average. The newly-redesigned RAV4 also makes an appearance on the top 10. Cadillac’s Escalade ESV is a quick seller, marking a bright spot for otherwise slow-selling GM models.
What does it all mean? If you plan to buy or lease any of the above SUVs, especially those from Toyota and Lexus, expect to have less negotiating power than if you were to shop one of the slower-selling cars on the market. That doesn’t justify paying for dealer markups or unwanted add-ons. Stay away from those traps. But for these fast-selling SUVs and crossovers, paying MSRP would be a fair deal in 2026’s SUV market.
The Slowest-Selling SUVs Right Now
These SUVs have the highest market day supply, which means they’re sitting unsold for longer. Buyers may be able to score better deals on these slowest-selling SUVs in March, especially with this AI negotiator doing the work for you.
| Make | Model | Market Day Supply | Total For Sale | 45-Day Sales | Average Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen | ID.4 | 536 | 1,464 | 123 | $48,489 |
| Audi | Q5 | 363 | 6,696 | 830 | $55,892 |
| Ford | Mustang Mach-E | 350 | 10,748 | 1,381 | $47,273 |
| Maserati | Grecale | 321 | 741 | 104 | $83,840 |
| Buick | Envision | 287 | 14,386 | 2,252 | $42,821 |
| Jeep | Grand Wagoneer L | 282 | 2,131 | 340 | $85,074 |
| Chrysler | Pacifica | 264 | 17,581 | 3,000 | $47,333 |
| Chrysler | Voyager | 264 | 2,349 | 400 | $40,670 |
| Jeep | Wagoneer | 245 | 6,717 | 1,234 | $79,818 |
| Mazda | CX-90 | 241 | 18,382 | 3,436 | $48,326 |

With the federal EV tax credit now over, the Volkswagen ID.4 is at the top of the list for the third month in a row, with well a year and a half of supply at current daily sales rates. The Ford Mustang Mach-E, previously a top-selling EV, is now taking about a year to sell. Several of the others fall into the luxury segment. With recent inflation and persistently high interest rates, buyers are thinking twice about buying luxury vehicles.
Five Stellantis models are in the bottom 10 this month. Maserati, Jeep, and Chrysler all make an appearance. Jeep’s Grand Wagoneer has been a slow-selling model for most of the past year, despite seeing major price cuts several months ago.
For any of these slow-selling SUVs, prices will be more flexible if you come equipped with negotiation know-how.
What This Means For SUV Shoppers
If you’re looking for a deal, start with the slowest sellers this month. High inventory levels mean dealers are likely motivated to talk pricing if you negotiate with confidence. It’s always best to take a look at the best incentives of the month, too.
“If you’re shopping for a slow-selling SUV, the ball is in your court,” says auto industry veteran Ray Shefska. “Dealers know those vehicles aren’t moving, and that gives you the upper hand in price negotiations.”
Shopping Toyota, Honda, or Lexus? Expect tighter inventory and less room for negotiation. You may need to move quickly if you find the right trim. However, this is no reason to pay for unwanted add-ons or dealer markups!

The Fastest-Selling Trucks in March 2026
The gap between the fastest and slowest-selling pickups is widening in 2026. With some trucks selling in just over a month, and others sitting unsold for over six months, knowing what’s hot (and what’s not) can make or break your next deal.
That’s why understanding Market Day Supply (MDS) is more important than ever for anyone buying or selling a truck in 2026. At CarEdge, we used real-time inventory and sales data to identify the fastest- and slowest-selling trucks each month.
MDS tells us how long it would take to sell all the current inventory of a particular model at the current sales pace, assuming no new units are added. A low MDS means a truck is selling quickly. A high MDS, on the other hand, signals oversupply, and that can mean buyers have more leverage at the dealership.
Whether you’re buying new or considering a trade-in, here’s what the latest market data from CarEdge Pro reveals about the best-selling and worst-selling trucks in America.
The 10 Fastest-Selling Trucks in March 2026
These trucks are in high demand and selling quickly. But if you’re hoping to negotiate a deal on one of these, don’t count on much wiggle room unless you work with a pro.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota | Tacoma | 53 | 57,692 | 49,012 | $46,088 |
| Toyota | Tundra | 54 | 32,123 | 27,006 | $63,936 |

| GMC | Sierra 1500 | 117 | 51,631 | 19,941 | $62,347 |

The Toyota Tacoma is the fastest-selling pickup truck in March 2026. On average, this heavy duty pickup truck sits on the lot for a little under two months before finding a buyer. Toyota’s Tundra and the Ford F-450 Super Duty are in second and third place, with trucks from GM far behind.
These trucks will be less negotiable as demand exceeds what’s typical for the truck market. Still, never agree to dealership markups or forced add-ons. Remember, informed shoppers always get the best deals.

In March, the F-150 Lightning is the slowest-selling truck in America. Ford recently announced that the fully-electric version will be replaced with a different electrified option for the next model year. The Hyundai Santa Cruz is also one of the slowest-selling pickups, a truck that was recently sent to the graveyard. Trucks from Stellantis brands (Ram and Jeep) take up four of the bottom 10 spots in March. Sellers can expect these slow-selling trucks to sit on the lot for at least four months, but this creates great chances to negotiate savings for buyers.

How to Get Car Dealers to Compete for Your Business
Most car buyers negotiate with one dealer at a time. They find a car they like, visit the lot, sit across from a salesperson, and try to talk the price down. It rarely works well, and there’s a simple reason why.
When you’re negotiating with one dealer, you’re on their turf and playing by their rules. But when multiple dealers know they’re competing for your business, the dynamic flips completely. The buyers who consistently get the best deals aren’t better negotiators. They just know how to create competition.
Here’s exactly how to do it.
“Dealers Won’t Budge”
A lot of buyers go into the process already defeated, assuming the price is the price and there’s nothing to be done. That’s not how dealerships work in 2026.
Back in 2021-2022, dealers had the upperhand as car inventory was thinned out due to the semiconductor shortage. But those days are well behind us.
In 2026, the car market has mostly normalized. Every dealer has monthly sales targets to hit, and pressure from the manufacturer to move units. As sales for several brands slow, many are even battling their own floorplanning costs on aging inventory. When the right conditions are in place, dealers have very real motivation to compete on price. The key is making sure they know they have to.
A dealer who believes you’re ready to sign today is a different animal than one who knows you’re getting quotes from three other stores down the road. Your job is to be the second kind of buyer.
Do Your Homework Before You Contact Anyone
Playing dealers against each other only works if you know what a fair price looks like. Otherwise you can’t tell a good offer from a mediocre one.
When shopping new car lots, start with the dealer invoice price. This is what the dealer actually paid the manufacturer for the vehicle, and it’s the number your negotiation should be anchored to — not the sticker price. When you know the invoice price, you know how much room the dealer has to move and whether the offer they’re presenting you is reasonable or inflated. CarEdge publishes invoice prices for free, because that information shouldn’t only be available to dealers. For slow-selling cars, you should be able to get close to the invoice price. Dealers have other ways of making money on each vehicle, so don’t hesitate to work towards that goal.
Regardless of whether you’re buying new or used, check how long the car has been sitting on the lot, and the local Market Day Supply for that year, make, and model. This metric measures how many days current inventory would last at the current rate of sales. A model sitting at 90-plus days of supply is one where dealers are motivated and inventory is plentiful. A car with 20 days of supply is flying off lots, and you’ll have far less leverage. Knowing this before you make a single call tells you how hard to push and whether your expectations are realistic.
Next, check CarEdge Dealer Reviews. Not every dealer negotiates in good faith, and walking into a store with a reputation for bait-and-switch tactics or high-pressure sales puts you at a disadvantage before you say a word. CarEdge Dealer Reviews surface real buyer experiences so you can identify which dealers in your area are worth your time and which ones to skip.
This prep work takes 15 minutes and changes everything about how the conversations go.
The Multi-Dealer Approach
Once you know the market and have a short list of reputable dealers, contact at least three of them, and even more if the car you want is in high demand.
Do this by email or text, not phone. Written communication keeps everything documented, removes the time pressure that phone calls create, and makes it easy to share competing offers later. Be straightforward in your message: tell them you’re shopping the same vehicle at multiple dealerships, you’re ready to move when the price is right, and you’d like their best out-the-door price.
Some dealers will come in strong right away to win your business early. Others will lowball hoping you’ll bite. Either way, you now have real numbers to compare.
Here’s where it gets effective: once you have two or three quotes in hand, go back to your preferred dealer with the lowest competing offer. This could be the dealer with the nicer car, or simply the one with the nicer salesperson. Most will match or beat it rather than lose the sale to a competitor down the street. That’s not a negotiating trick. It’s just how business works, and savvy buyers have been doing it for decades.
Know When to Pivot
Market Day Supply is worth revisiting once you’re in active negotiations. If the model you want has high supply nationally, push hard. Dealers on slow-moving inventory are motivated, and below-MSRP pricing is a realistic outcome.
If supply is tight on your first choice, consider whether a different trim, a different color, or a comparable model with more inventory might serve you just as well. Walking away from a low-supply vehicle and coming back in two weeks is a legitimate strategy. So is simply walking away. Dealers know that buyers who leave often return, and they’ll sometimes call with a better number before you do.
Let’s Run It Back
Fortunately for consumers, it’s quite easy to get car dealerships to compete for your business. Here’s.a quick rundown of what you can do to make negotiating savings easier than you could imagine:
1. Check the invoice price so you know what the dealer actually paid and what a fair target looks like.
2. Look up Market Day Supply to gauge how much leverage you have before you contact anyone.
3. Research dealers using CarEdge Dealer Reviews to filter out bad actors before you waste time on them.
4. Contact at least three dealers by email or text and ask for their best out-the-door price.
5. Take the lowest competing offer back to your preferred dealer and ask them to match or beat it.
If supply is tight on your first choice, be willing to pivot — different trim, color, or model — or simply walk away and revisit in a few weeks. No matter what, NEVER be a monthly payment shopper. Always get the written out-the-door price including all taxes and fees.
Let Someone Else Run the Competition for You
If this process sounds like more work than you want to take on, that’s a fair read. CarEdge Concierge exists for exactly this reason.
The Concierge team runs the multi-dealer process on your behalf — contacting dealers, collecting quotes, and negotiating pricing without you ever sitting in a showroom. They also know from experience which dealers are straightforward to work with and which ones aren’t worth the trouble.
It’s the same strategy outlined above, handled by people who do it every day. On average, CarEdge Concierges save drivers between $2,000 – $3,000 through expert negotiations.

Here’s How Much Dealers Mark Up New Cars in 2026
When you walk into a dealership, the sticker price on the window isn’t the starting point. It’s usually somewhere in the middle. Dealers pay one price for a car and charge you another, and sometimes padded with extras you never asked for.
Here’s a breakdown of how new car pricing actually works, where markups stand today, and how to use that knowledge to your advantage.
Invoice Price vs. MSRP: What’s the Difference?
Every new car has two key prices worth knowing.
The invoice price is what the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. It’s not a secret, but dealers rarely advertise it. CarEdge publishes free invoice prices because we believe buyers deserve to know what they’re negotiating against.
The MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) is the sticker price. It’s set by the manufacturer and already includes a built-in profit margin for the dealer. Most buyers think of MSRP as the ceiling of negotiation. In reality, it’s often just the floor.
On top of the MSRP, many dealers add on extras — paint protection packages, wheel locks, nitrogen-filled tires, window tinting — that cost them very little but get bundled into the deal for $500 to $2,000 or more. Always ask for an itemized breakdown before you sign anything, and check out our guide to dealer add-ons to watch out for.
Where Do Markups Stand in 2026?
Across the board, new cars are selling for roughly 3% to 5% over invoice price in 2026.
For mainstream brands like Toyota, Honda, Ford, and Chevrolet, most models are sitting around 3% over invoice. High-demand models like the new Toyota RAV4, a Honda Civic, or a top trim of the Ford F-150 can push that closer to 5%.
For most new cars, that equals between $1,000 and $4,000 over invoice to land at the advertised MSRP, assuming there are no dealership add-ons. More on that in a bit.
Luxury and sports cars are a different story. Brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo tend to land at 5% over invoice or higher, and because the base prices are already elevated, the dollar amounts get significant fast. We can also see higher markups for high-end trucks like the F-150 Raptor, Ram 1500 TRX, or any model listed over $80,000.
CarEdge Concierge Jamer Heasley sees this play out regularly: “It’s common to see new cars priced $2,000 to $3,000 over MSRP. For luxury brands like Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, 5% over invoice is common, and with higher prices, that often ends up in the $4,000 to $6,000 range.”
Not Every Car Is a Tough Negotiation
Here’s the part most buyers don’t hear: plenty of new cars are sitting on lots, and dealers with slow-moving inventory are often willing to deal.
CarEdge co-founder Ray Shefska, who spent years on the dealer side before starting CarEdge, puts it this way: “For the slowest-selling cars in America, it’s common to negotiate well below MSRP. A great deal is anything close to invoice price, or for last year’s models, even below the invoice price.”
A good indicator of how much leverage you have is Market Day Supply. MDS is a measure of how long current inventory would last at the current sales pace. A car with 90-plus days of supply is one where you hold the cards. A car with 20 days of supply? The dealer knows you’re competing with other buyers.
How to Negotiate Below MSRP
The best negotiators walk in knowing more than the salesperson expects. Here’s how to get there.
Know the invoice price. CarEdge publishes invoice data for free. See your invoice price here. Start every negotiation with that number in mind, especially for slower-selling models, or any car that’s been sitting on the lot for months.
Check Market Day Supply. Before you fall in love with a specific car, look up how it’s selling nationally. High supply means more room to negotiate. Low supply means you may need to adjust your expectations or consider alternatives. CarEdge Pro makes it easy.
Make dealers compete. Contact multiple dealers and let them know you’re shopping around. Email works well here — it keeps things documented and removes the pressure of a showroom.
Separate your trade-in. Dealers often blend the trade-in and new car numbers to obscure what you’re actually paying. Negotiate the new car price first, then talk trade. Take our trade-in checklist with you.
Watch for add-ons and fake fees. If a dealer says certain packages are “already installed,” ask for an itemized list and push back on anything you didn’t request. Here’s what to watch out for.
If you’d rather skip the back-and-forth entirely, CarEdge Concierge handles the negotiation for you. Jamer and the team work directly with dealers on your behalf to secure below-MSRP pricing, saving buyers $2,200 on average.

The Bottom Line
In 2026, dealers are marking up new cars 3% to 5% over invoice on average, with luxury and high-demand models pushing higher. That gap is real money — often thousands of dollars. But it’s also negotiable, especially if you know the numbers going in.Check invoice prices and Market Day Supply for free on CarEdge before your next car purchase.

You Can Still Buy a New Car for Under $20,000 in 2026
The days of affordable new cars are almost over. In a market where the average new car now costs nearly $50,000, a small window of opportunity still exists for buyers hunting for a bargain. According to CarEdge data, there are 3,027 new cars currently listed for sale under $20,000 across the country. These are all leftover 2025 (and even 2024) models that dealers are discounting below MSRP to clear out, creating a rare and fleeting opportunity to save.
No automaker is currently producing a new vehicle with an MSRP under $20,000. These are the last ones.
What’s Still Available Under $20,000
Here’s a complete breakdown of every new car for sale under $20,000 right now, according to CarEdge Car Search. These are all unsold 2024-2025 models listed below MSRP:
| Model | Units Available | Priced As Low As |
| 2025 Nissan Versa | 2,381 | $15,249 |
| 2025 Nissan Sentra | 254 | $16,732 |
| 2025 Nissan Kicks | 223 | $16,820 |
| 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage | 67 | $13,995 |
| 2025 Kia Soul | 65 | $18,452 |
| 2025 Hyundai Elantra | 55 | $18,540 |
| 2025 Hyundai Venue | 27 | $18,321 |
The Nissan Versa alone accounts for nearly 80% of available inventory. The Mitsubishi Mirage, listed as low as $13,995 and below its original MSRP, is the most affordable new car you can buy in America right now. But with only 67 units left nationwide, you’ll need to act fast.
What to Watch Out For
Finding a car listed under $20,000 is only half the battle. Dealer markups and add-ons can quickly push that price well above your budget before you ever sign anything.
Here’s how to protect yourself:
Always ask for the out-the-door price. The advertised price is rarely what you’ll actually pay. The out-the-door (OTD) price includes all taxes, fees, and dealer charges specific to your zip code. That’s the number that matters, not the sticker, not the online listing. Get the OTD price in writing before you set foot in a dealership.
Check out our free OTD price calculator to estimate what you’ll be spending.
Call ahead to confirm availability. With only a few thousand of these cars spread across thousands of dealers nationwide, inventory can move fast. Before making the trip, contact the dealer directly to confirm the car is still on the lot.
Watch out for forced add-ons. Some dealers will advertise a shockingly low price, then load the deal with thousands in extras: paint protection, fabric coating, tire and wheel packages, and more. These add-ons are almost always negotiable or refusable. If a dealer insists on bundling them, walk away. Here’s a list of common dealership add-ons to watch out for.
Get pre-approved financing before you shop. Even on a $16,000 car, the finance office is where dealers make money. Come in with a pre-approved offer from your bank or credit union. It gives you leverage and keeps the focus on the OTD price rather than monthly payments. If the dealership can beat your offer from the bank, there’s no harm in financing with them.
Don’t fall for the monthly payment trap. With a high interest rate, a $19,000 car stretched over 84 months can cost you more in interest than the car is worth. Focus on the total cost, not the monthly payment. Stick to loan terms of 60 months or fewer on a vehicle in this price range.
Which of These Cars Is the Safest?
Price isn’t the only thing that matters. For many budget shoppers, it may be worth it to spend a little more for a safer vehicle, especially since these are compact cars and hatchbacks.
Hyundai Elantra is the standout. It earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick+, the highest designation IIHS awards, along with a 5-star overall NHTSA rating, and it comes standard with a full suite of driver-assist features. For buyers who want the most car for their money from a safety standpoint, the Elantra is the easy recommendation.
Nissan Versa and Nissan Kicks are solid but not top-rated. The Versa earns “Good” scores in its IIHS-tested categories and a 5-star NHTSA overall rating. The Kicks comes standard with Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 across all trims, including automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic alert, and scores well in IIHS crash tests. Neither earned a Top Safety Pick designation, but both are reasonable choices.
Mitsubishi Mirage deserves a direct warning. At $13,995, it’s the cheapest new car in America right now, and that price is tempting. But the Mirage hatchback has recorded 13.6 fatal accidents per billion miles traveled, roughly 4.8 times the national average and one of the worst real-world fatality rates of any vehicle currently on the road. IIHS crash tests show poor scores.
This isn’t a reflection of failed crash tests so much as basic physics: small, light cars are at a significant disadvantage in collisions with the larger trucks and SUVs that dominate American roads. If safety is a priority, the Mirage’s low price comes with a real tradeoff.
Kia Soul and Hyundai Venue fall somewhere in the middle. Neither earned a 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick, and the Venue has a concerning real-world fatality record similar to the Mirage. The Soul is the better of the two from a safety perspective, but neither matches the Elantra.
Bottom line: If you’re shopping this list and safety matters to you, spend the extra few hundred dollars and get the Hyundai Elantra, or something larger (with high crash test ratings) that’s a little over the $20,000 threshold. The Honda Civic is one example worth the test drive.
The End of an Era
2026 will go down as the last year a buyer can walk into a dealership and drive home a brand-new car for under $20,000. No manufacturer currently has a sub-$20K model in production, and with rising material costs, labor expenses, and tariffs keeping new car prices elevated, there’s no sign that will change.
These remaining vehicles will likely be gone by summer. If buying a new car under $20,000 is your goal, now is the time to act.

Car Ownership Costs Skyrocket 167%: What You Need to Know
If you think you know what it costs to own a car, think again. A shocking new survey from Synchrony reveals that American drivers are paying 167% more annually than they expect for vehicle ownership—a staggering $4,500 discrepancy between perceived and actual costs.
Let’s take a look at what’s driving rising car ownership costs in 2026, and why many drivers are caught off guard.
Why Car Ownership Costs Are Higher Than You Think
The survey asked drivers a simple question: What do you think you’re spending on your vehicle versus what are you actually spending? The results were eye-opening. Most respondents estimated their annual vehicle costs at just $2,738. The reality? Over $7,300.
As CarEdge co-founder and auto industry veteran Ray Shefska explains: “People just don’t want to know. It’s like buying coffee at Starbucks every day. $6 or $7 each time doesn’t feel like a lot, but it adds up. We live in a fantasy land where we pretend not to know what things actually cost.”
Insurance and Fuel: The Two Biggest Culprits
When examining what’s driving these soaring costs, two expenses dominate:
- Fuel costs: $2,000 per year on average
- Insurance premiums: $1,700 per year on average
Other significant expenses include maintenance, tires, and auto parts. And the news isn’t getting better. Oil prices have already begun spiking due to global supply chain disruptions, meaning fuel costs are likely to climb even higher in the coming months.
Insurance rates have also skyrocketed over the past few years, with no signs of slowing down. As Ray notes, “My insurance premiums keep going up slightly even though I drive less than 2,000 miles a year. The cost of repairing cars when they’re in accidents goes up dramatically, and that has to be passed on to everybody whether you’ve made a claim or not.”
That’s why it’s more important than ever to compare rates to see if you’re getting the best offer.
The True Cost of Keeping Older Vehicles
One factor contributing to rising ownership costs is that people are keeping their vehicles longer. While this might seem like a smart financial move, older vehicles come with their own set of expensive challenges.
“When it is time for that 180,000-mile vehicle to need a repair, it’s going to need a lot of repairs,” explains Ray. “The cost of keeping a vehicle has gone up dramatically.”
Maintenance costs, replacement parts, and the price of labor have all increased substantially. For owners of aging vehicles, these expenses can quickly spiral beyond initial estimates.
New vs. Used: Rethinking the Value Equation
This research should influence how buyers think about new versus used vehicles. When factoring in the total cost of ownership—including insurance, fuel efficiency, and warranty coverage—new vehicles may actually offer better value than relatively new used cars.
Here’s why:
1. Manufacturer warranty coverage protects against unexpected repair costs
2. Better fuel efficiency means lower ongoing fuel expenses
3. Modern safety features can sometimes reduce insurance premiums
4. Fewer maintenance issues in the early years of ownership
For older used cars, the ownership bill can rack up quickly, especially when combined with higher insurance rates and increased fuel consumption.
Compare total cost of ownership with this free tool.
Insurance Costs Vary Dramatically by State
Where you live makes a significant difference in your car ownership costs. According to U.S. News & World Report, the states with the lowest annual insurance rates include:
- Maine
- Vermont
- Wyoming
- Hawaii
- Idaho
- Ohio
- New Hampshire
- Indiana
- Alaska
- Wisconsin
If you’re struggling with high insurance premiums, it may be worth shopping around or considering whether your location is inflating your costs.
Alternatives on the Horizon
As car ownership costs continue to climb, alternative transportation options are becoming more attractive. Robo-taxis and services like Waymo are expanding rapidly in major metropolitan areas like San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
These services offer several potential advantages:
- No insurance costs for individual users
- No maintenance responsibilities
- Lower fuel costs (many use electric vehicles)
- No depreciation losses
The appeal of traditional public transit is also likely to rise due to high vehicle ownership costs. We’ve seen recent investments in rail and bus services nationwide.
As Ray predicts: “The future realistically will be things like Waymo and robo-taxis. People won’t be able to afford to buy [new cars]. Those who are very wealthy will be able to and will continue to buy new cars. The rest of us will no longer be buying new cars and in many cases might not even be buying used cars.”
However, these alternatives will primarily be available in large metropolitan areas. Rural communities will still need affordable personal transportation options.
How to Reduce Your Car Ownership Costs
While you can’t eliminate car ownership costs entirely, you can take steps to minimize them:
1. Shop for better insurance rates regularly—coverage costs vary significantly between providers
2. Consider fuel-efficient vehicles to reduce your biggest ongoing expense
3. Budget realistically by tracking your actual spending on vehicle-related costs
4. Maintain your vehicle properly to avoid costly repairs down the road
5. Explore alternatives like carpooling, public transit, or car-sharing when practical
The Bottom Line on Rising Car Ownership Costs
The gap between what drivers think they’re spending and what they’re actually spending reveals a broader problem: most people are operating in the dark when it comes to the true cost of vehicle ownership.
With insurance and fuel costs continuing to rise, now is the time to take a hard look at your transportation budget. Whether that means buying a more efficient vehicle, shopping for better insurance rates, or exploring alternative transportation, understanding the real numbers is the first step toward making smarter decisions.
As the data makes clear, car ownership costs are dramatically higher than most people realize. The sooner you face that reality, the better equipped you’ll be to manage it.

The 10 Best Hybrid Deals for March 2026: 0% APRs and Cheap Leases
More drivers are considering a hybrid in March as escalating conflict in the Middle East suggests higher oil prices are likely. In fact, data from CarEdge Pro shows that hybrid daily sales rates are already on the rise.
While the demand for hybrid cars, SUVs, and trucks is rising, it’s still a buyer’s market for many popular models. We’ve curated this list of the top hybrid deals for March to keep you ahead of the curve. As always, these offers may be regional in nature, and are usually reserved for well-qualified buyers.
2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
Hyundai is offering two strong ways to get into the 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid this month. Finance at 0% APR for 60 months with no payments for 90 days. This zero percent financing offer becomes even more compelling when you consider the average 60-month new-car loan rate sits at 6.98%.
Prefer to lease? The Santa Fe Hybrid is available from $379/month for 36 months with $3,999 due at signing, valid through March 31.
The offer applies to select 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid trims for well-qualified buyers; check with local dealers for eligible models in your area. Fuel economy ranges from 36 combined MPG with front-wheel drive to 34 combined MPG with HTRAC all-wheel drive — strong numbers for a family-sized SUV.

2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid
If you’re shopping for a compact hybrid SUV, you’ll want to consider Subaru’s financing offer for all four of its 2025 Forester hybrid trims. Through March 31, these trims are available at 0% APR for 75 months.
The 2025 Forester marks the start of the model’s new sixth-generation with a redesign introducing a boxier exterior, a quieter cabin, more supportive seats, and larger infotainment touchscreens. These additions are complemented by standard AWD and a high 8.7-inch ground clearance, both of which help compensate for a slightly lower fuel economy of 34/35 city/highway mpg.
If rugged SUV adventuring is your style, prioritize test driving the 2025 Forester hybrid.

2026 Honda Civic Hybrid
Are you considering a Honda hybrid sedan, but would prefer a 2026 compact model? Through March 31, you can finance a 2026 Honda Civic hybrid at 4.49% APR for 24-48 months, or at 5.49% APR for 49-60 months. Like the 2025 Accord hybrid offer, this deal applies to select 2026 Civic hybrids. However, both 2026 Civic hybrid trims have lower starting prices than any 2025 Accord’s hybrid and slightly better combined fuel economy at 49 MPG.
See Civic Hybrid listings with local market data
2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid
The 2026 CR-V Hybrid is one of our list’s most competitive offers. Through March 30, you can finance select trims of this compact SUV at 2.99% APR 24-36 months or 3.99% APR 37-60 months. Unlike the 2025 Accord hybrid and 2026 Civic hybrid, the 2026 CR-V hybrid offers available all-wheel drive (AWD), which won’t significantly affect mileage. Combined economy for the new CR-V hybrid ranges from 35-37 MPG in AWD, while front-wheel drive (FWD) configurations are good for up to 40 MPG.
See CR-V Hybrid listings with local market data
2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid

While the 2026 CX-50 Hybrid isn’t as capable off-road as its 2025 Forester hybrid counterpart, it holds its own with standard Power and Trail modes, along with sportier on-road handling.
See Mazda CX-50 Hybrid listings with local market data
2026 Toyota Prius
Toyota’s Prius, the first mass-produced hybrid, is in its fifth generation, featuring a sportier design. Through March 31, you can finance the 2026 Prius at 4.99% APR for 72 months. Many offers have restrictions on which trims qualify, but Toyota appears to have made any 2026 Prius eligible, with 8 trims permitted. There are technically four 2026 Prius trims, but each has an available AWD variant if you don’t want FWD.
The 2026 Prius has the highest mileage on our list of March deals, ranging from 52-57 MPG.
See Prius listings with local market data

2025 Toyota RAV4 PHEV
Our list of hybrid deal recommendations for March wouldn’t be complete without a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). You can finance a 2025 RAV4 PHEV at 4.75% for 72 months. This Toyota boasts an MPGe of 94 and an all-electric range of 42 miles. You also won’t need to install Level 2 home charging equipment, as most drivers get by just fine with Level 1 (120V).

While compact crossovers are taking up most of our list’s top offers, drivers seeking a minivan can look toward the 2026 Toyota Sienna Hybrid.

2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid
Don’t worry, pickup fans; Ford has a March hybrid deal for you. Qualified shoppers can lease the 2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid XL FWD at $359 per month for 36 months, with $3,189 due at signing.

Tired of the car buying hassles? Learn how CarEdge makes it easy.
2026 Tesla Model Y
Best Deal in March: 0% APR for 72 months for the Rear-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive variants
The Model Y is still America’s best-selling EV, and Tesla is bringing back their best-ever financing offer. Zero percent APR for six full years means absolutely no interest on the easiest EV to own, considering the vast Supercharger network. Just keep in mind that Tesla depreciation can be steep — it’s always worth checking used Model Y listings before committing to new.
2025 Ram 1500
Best Deal in March: 0% APR for 72 months
Six years of free financing on a full-size truck? That’s an amazing deal. At today’s prices, most Ram buyers are financing $45,000 or more, and at 0% APR, that’s a lot of money staying in your pocket instead of going to a lender.
The 2026 Ram 1500 also qualifies for 0% APR, just capped at 60 months. But with 3,000 new 2025 models still on the lot, the 72-month offer is where the real value is. See Ram offer details.

2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
Best Deal in March: 0% APR for 60 payments, plus no payments for 90 days.
Gas prices are on the rise, and a hybrid 3-row SUV is looking better than ever. Consumer Reports gives the Santa Fe Hybrid an overall score of 84 out of 100 due to a stellar road test and high predicted owner satisfaction.
The 2026 Hyundai Hybrid Santa Fe is rated by the EPA at 36 miles per gallon in the city, and 35 MPG on the highway. That’s on par with the similarly-sized Toyota Highlander, but you won’t be finding zero-percent financing for that model. See offer details.

2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV
Best Deal in March: 0% APR for 60 months, OR approximately $10,000 off MSRP (20% conquest discount for buyers switching from another brand)
This is one of the most flexible incentive packages in the March market. Shoppers can either lock in five years of interest-free financing or take roughly 20% off the sticker — one of the steepest discounts on any new vehicle this month. If you’re coming from a competitor’s brand and open to an affordable EV crossover, it’s worth a serious look. Owners and reviewers say the Equinox EV makes for a great ride around town. See Chevrolet offer details.

2025 Ford F-150

The Bronco Sport Big Bend 4×4 is available with just the first month’s payment due at signing — that’s it. The off-road-capable compact SUV segment has gotten crowded, but at $399 down and $399 a month, the Bronco Sport makes a pretty compelling case for itself. See Ford Bronco Sport offer details.

2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab 4WD Elevation
Best Deal in March: $299/month for 24 months with $4,239 due at signing
Under $300 per month on a full-size four-wheel-drive truck is a steal. GMC is clearly trying to work down a bloated full-size truck inventory right now, and buyers are the ones benefiting. As of last check, there’s 121 days of supply for the Sierra 1500, nearly twice the market average.
If the Sierra has been on your radar, this is about as cheap as leasing a 4WD full-sizer gets. See GMC offer details.

2026 Volkswagen Atlas
Best Deal in March: 0% APR for 60 months + $1,000 Bonus Cash
VW is offering one of the best three-row family SUV deals this month. The Atlas is one of the more spacious and value-oriented family haulers on the market.

2025 Subaru Forester Premium Hybrid
Best Deal in March: $269/month for 36 months with only $2,254 due at signing
This is the best hybrid lease deal in March. Low monthly payments, just a few grand due at signing, and Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive makes this a standout deal. If you’re aiming for fuel savings without the need to charge, the Forester Hybrid is due for a test drive. See Subaru offer details.

2025 Volvo EX90
Best Deal in March: 0% APR for 72 months, OR $7,500 cash offer
Volvo’s flagship three-row luxury EV SUV rarely shows up on a deals list, but here we are for the second month in a row. At an MSRP north of $80,000, six years of zero-percent financing saves buyers a serious amount of money. The $7,500 cash option is there too if you’d rather take the discount upfront.
