The Best Incentives Among Mid-size Cars
This is also the most competitive segment, which means there's always some good incentives available. This year, the competition is really heating up due to several redesigns being introduced.
The leftover models have cash-back rebates as high as $3,000 - lease deals as low as $189/month - and extra cash bonuses as high as $1,810.
I created the following chart to make it easy for you to compare all the current incentives side-by-side. Please note that incentives will vary depending on where you live, so these may not be available in your local area.
Be sure to use the RydeShopper to see the exact rebates in your area and take full advantage of these offers.
