7 hot summer deals on fresh cars
With some automakers’ sales slowing in June, manufacturers have spinned out tempting summer rebate and lease deals.
But strong cash-back offers aren’t limited to the companies where sales tailed off in June like General Motors (GM) (down 1.6 percent) and Toyota (TM) (down Five.6 percent). Even vehicles that are selling strongly like Ford’s (F) F-150 still carry big rebates in an effort to clear out two thousand sixteen models before introducing of the two thousand seventeen versions.
Using best deal picks from U.S. News Best Cars and Kelley Blue Book, we chose seven of the most attractive summer offers. The very first five are cash-back deals in order of the size of the rebate. The final two are attractive lease deals.
Ford F-150
Despite strong sales for pickups as gas prices have remained relatively low, Ford is suggesting a $Three,500 rebate on the F-150. Reviewers surveyed by U.S. News said the F-150 and its innovative aluminum bod ranked No. One among pickups.
Test drivers like its choice of V-6 and V-8 engines and the F-150’s strong towing capacity. The base turbocharged V-6 is rated by the EPA for an estimated nineteen MPG in city driving and twenty six on the highway. Inwards, reviewers praise the convenient seats, especially in the SuperCrew model.
List prices on the F-150 commence at $26,540 but range all the way up to $62,310 on fully loaded versions.
Buick Regal
General Motors is suggesting $Two,750 back on the Regal, which Kelley Blue Book picks this as one of the best current deals on family cars.
Reviewers praise the Regal for its deft treating and convenient rail. They suggest looking for the turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which produces better acceleration than the base four. The turbo engine is rated for twenty one MPG in city driving, thirty MPG on the highway.
List prices for the Regal range from $27,990 to $35,250.
Toyota Camry
The Camry comes with a $Two,500 rebate. Reviewers praise its convenient rail, spacious interior and proven reliability. Those qualities have made it the best-selling sedan in the U.S., albeit its sales were down thirteen percent in June from a year earlier.
The Camry comes with a choice of a four-cylinder engine rated for twenty five MPG city, thirty five highway or a V-6 (21 city, thirty one highway). List prices on the Camry go from $23,070 to $31,370.
Kia Sportage
The Sportage, which comes with some of the best acceleration and treating among puny SUVs, is carrying a $1,500 rebate. Reviewers also praise its pleasant interior and intuitive controls that are effortless to use while driving.
The four-cylinder engine on the front-wheel drive model is rated for twenty one MPG in city driving and twenty eight on the highway. List prices for the Sportage range from $22,150 to $31,490.
Mazda3
The Mazda3, one of the best-reviewed compact cars, comes with a rebate of $1,000. You can get either a sedan or the more commodious-for-cargo hatchback. Both suggest terrific treating and a sleek-looking interior.
The Mazda3 also boasts some of the best fuel economy in its class. The four-cylinder engine is rated for thirty MPG in city driving and forty one on the highway. List prices run from $17,845 to $26,495.
Nissan Rogue
Kelley Blue Book cites the Rogue for one of the best lease deals presently suggested. Nissan has a three-year lease for $189 per month with $1,899 down. Reviewers praise the Rogue for its stylish interior and roomy cargo hold.
Unlike most other compact SUVs, the Rogue has an optional third row of seats — however they work only for puny children. The Rogue also has strong fuel economy, rated for twenty six MPG in city driving and thirty three on the highway.
If you were buying it, the Rogue has list prices from $23,290 to $33,400.
Lexus IS
Luxury brand customers traditionally like to lease, and Lexus is suggesting the IS for $329 a month over three years with $1,599 down at signing. Reviewers praise the IS for its convenient rail and elegant interior.
However, they note that the treating isn’t as athletic as some rivals like the BMW 3-series. Fuel economy for the IS is rated at twenty two MPG in city driving and thirty three on the highway. If you were buying it, the list prices run from $37,325 to $43,035.
