Ready to put a big red bow on it? Well, whether you’re looking to actually gift someone a new car this year or whether you want to give yourself a little (or big) something, now is an opportune time to take advantage of some new car deals. The Federal Reserve is rumored to be cutting rates again, too. You can lease or you can buy with the cars on this list. Either way, there are some good ways to save money. Here are some of the best options out of December’s new car incentives!
It seems like I can’t drive anywhere these days without seeing a Ford Bronco Sport around town. Well, I may be seeing more of them if people take advantage of this leasing offer that gets them a 2024 Bronco Sport for $399 a month with just $399 due at signing. That’s not a typo. It’s the same monthly rate and the same amount due at signing. Plus, customers who own or lease a 1995 or newer Jeep model can get up to $2,000 in Ford Conquest Cash when switching over to the 2024 Bronco Sport.
We mentioned the standard AWD and large infotainment display in our 2024 Ford Bronco Sport review, but another selling point for the Bronco Sport is the selling price, which ranges between around $33,000 and $40,000. You won’t be getting a great interest rate if you buy, though. It’s 5.9% APR for 60 months.
Although it’s not officially on the list, the 2025 Ford Bronco sport is another one to make note of, at least when it comes to leasing. It leases for $499 a month for 36 months with $499 due at signing.
When it comes to leasing, Volkswagen has an offer worth taking a second look at. You could go into 2025 driving a new 2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport at just $239 a month. It’s not the lowest monthly lease rate we’ve seen, but it’s also far from the highest. Plus, it gets better. Volkswagen is waiving a lot of other fees. This lease offer comes with $0 due at signing, $0 on your first month’s payment, and a $0 security deposit. These zeros can add up to some good savings.
Toyota is still enticing people to consider buying or leasing a 2024 bZ4X. For those looking to lease, Toyota is offering $11,500 in lease cash. That’s one of the largest incentive figures available no matter what brand you’re looking at. Interested customers must qualify using Toyota Financial Services. Meanwhile, interested car buyers can get 0% APR on a 2024 bZ4X for any term up to 72 months. That’s six years of no annual interest! That’s a gift by itself, and it doesn’t even need wrapping paper.
The Ford F-Series has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States for countless years now. Well, if you want America’s most popular vehicle, there are a couple of ways to go. First, there’s a $399 per month price for the STX 2.7-liter SuperCrew 4×4. That lasts for 36 months and $3,539 is due at signing. That’s not exactly cheap, but it’s a lot cheaper than Nissan’s full-size 2024 Titan. That is leasing for $659 for 36 months with $5,959 due at signing! The 2025 RAM 1500 is much more comparable at $385 for 42 months with $3,965 due at signing.
If you’re buying, the deal isn’t quite as good, but 1.9% APR for 60 months these days? That’s not awful. Buyers could also get up to $1,000 Bonus Cash. Plus, Ford is giving RAM drivers some extra incentive to switch over to the blue oval brand. Customers who own or lease a 1995 or newer Dodge RAM truck could claim up to $2,000 when buying or leasing a 2024 F-150. They could also potentially get up to $4,500 Cash Back on the STX trim.
If you are in the market for a van, the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica, you can buy it with a 4.9% APR for 72 months. That’s not the best deal, so that’s not why it makes our list. If you’re leasing, you can get a 2024 Pacifica for $499 a month for 48 months. $4,329 is due at signing. This probably doesn’t sound like the best deal either. However, Chrysler is giving buyers and lessees a $5,500 total bonus cash allowance. That’s a pretty sizeable number right there. It covers the amount due at signing and then some.
If you prefer to go with the plug-in hybrid version of the 2024 Pacifica, you’ll be buying it at 0% APR for 72 months or leasing it at $479 a month for 48 months. It doesn’t come with that $5,500 bonus cash, but qualified purchasers could be eligible for up to $7,500 in federal income tax credits.
Moving over into the SUV side of things, let’s look at the 2025 Nissan Rogue. For well-qualified buyers using Nissan financing, it’s available to buy at 2.9% APR for up to 60 months. The 2025 Rogue can also be leased for $329 a month for 36 months with $3,539 due at signing. Then there’s a cash back offer of up to $1,250 on the Premium trim.
You’ve, of course, also got your Honda CR-Vs and Toyota RAV4s, but the 2025 Toyota RAV4 isn’t actually available to lease or buy yet, though. The 2025 Honda CR-V is much more comparable to the Rogue with a 2.9% APR between 24 and 36 months or a 3.9% APR between 37 and 60 months. The monthly lease rate, at $319 for 36 months, is also very comparable, but you’ll pay slightly more immediately. Honda requires $3,599 due at signing for the 2025 CR-V. There are no cash back offers here, either. Overall, the CR-V is close, but the 2025 Nissan Rogue is the better buy from a purely financial perspective. If you want an in-depth analysis of each car, be sure to click over to our 2025 Nissan Rogue review and then compare the specs and features in our 2025 Honda CR-V review.
For a more off-roading vehicle, the base-level Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4×4 is available to buy at 4.9% for 72 months. That purchase offer may not sound too great, but there is the possibility of getting up to $8,500 in total cash allowance thanks, in part, to $1,500 national holiday bonus cash and a $6,000 retail bonus.
This SUV, with its impressive technology and variety of trim levels, can also be leased for a decent price. It’s $349 a month for 42 months when leasing, and $3,869 is due at signing. There’s no security deposit required. The 2024 Grand Cherokee is potentially more expensive than the 2025 Rogue, but it also is a more capable off-roader. So, for a little more money, you’re getting one of Jeep’s strong suits.
Another electric vehicle that could save some money this holiday season is the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5. It starts at $41,800 regularly, but that price can be trimmed with up to $7,500 in total savings. Plus, there’s 0% APR for up to 48 months on all trim levels. Leasing the IONIQ 5 SE requires a $189 monthly payment for 24 months and $3,999 due at signing. Moving one trim higher, to the SEL, raises the price but only a little bit. The SEL sits at $199 a month for 24 months and it’s still $3,999 due at signing. The all-electric compact crossover certainly looks fun with its futuristic vibe, and now it can hit the road with 300 miles of range on the way to Grandma’s house.
