Best New Car Deals in April
April 19, 2018
Each month, Consumer Reports releases a list of what they consider to be the best new car deals. The vehicles on the list usually have large incentives as well as a good score in Consumer Report's reliability and road tests.
Below, you'll find the full list. The 2018 Toyota Avalon Limited comes up on top with potential savings of 18% off MSRP. Other popular vehicles on the list include the 2018 Kia Forte LX, and 2018 Mazda3
As always, If you're shopping for a new car, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle, CarsDirect and RydeShopper to quickly see what kind of deals are being offered in your area.
