Yahoo Autos These Are The Best New Car Deals, According To Consumer Reports
As the world’s supply chain has recovered from the pandemic, the cost of buying a new car has generally returned to normal-ish. What’s true in general, however, isn’t necessarily true for the specific car you want to buy. Last week, we showed you the list of new cars that Consumer Reports found are the worst deals right now and likely worth skipping.
Don’t worry, though. We wouldn’t leave you with just a list of cars you shouldn’t buy. Consumer Reports also put together a list of new cars that are currently the best deals, too. They may not necessarily be built by your preferred automaker, but if you get a good enough deal, saving money is still saving money, right?
Of course, the exact price you may find at your local dealer is going to differ from the national average, but these cars are at least a good place to start. Click through to see what cars made the list.
Alfa Romeo Tonale -7 Percent Off
Alfa Romeo was never the most popular brand in the U.S., but the Tonale was supposed to be the crossover that opened the door to more mainstream luxury success. That’s probably not going to happen, but you can now get a 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce with all-wheel drive for $45,249 or $3,591 less than its $48,840 MSRP.
Mercedes-Benz GLC - 8 Percent Off
Unlike the Tonale, the Mercedes-Benz GLC has been a popular luxury crossover for a while. It doesn’t necessarily have the best predicted reliability rating, but if you have your eye on a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, you should be able to find one for $43,799, which is $3,651 below the $47,450 MSRP.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio - 8 Percent Off
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is far from the most luxurious crossover in its class, but it legitimately handles like you wouldn’t believe. It’s old, though, so it’s no surprise that they come with discounts. While a 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce with all-wheel drive should cost $51,050, expect a discount of about $4,111, bringing the price down to $46,939.
Volvo XC40 - 8 Percent Off
Like the Stelvio, the Volvo XC40 has been around for a while. It still looks great, though, and if you don’t ned a huge crossover, its small size can be an asset. Plus, a 2024 Volvo XC40 B5 Plus Dark Theme with all-wheel drive can be had for $41,790, which is $3,710 less than the $45,500 that Volvo originally said it should cost.
Alfa Romeo Giulia - 8 Percent Off
Well, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is essentially the sedan version of the Stelvio, so pretty much all of the same pros and cons apply. Dealers are even knocking off the same percentage of the MSRP. So if you want a 2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti with all-wheel drive, instead of paying $46,190, you can expect to get out for $42,398. That’s a savings of $3,792.
Volvo S60 - 8 Percent Off
By now, you should have probably picked up on the fact that most of the cars on this list haven’t had a redesign in a while. And they can be excellent options if you don’t necessarily need the latest and greatest tech. Take this gorgeous 2024 Volvo S60 B5 Plus Dark Theme, for example. The $41,622 you can expect to pay is $3,778 below the car’s $45,400 MSRP.
Volvo XC60 - 9 Percent Off
The Volvo XC60 has some serious competition from the likes of the BMW X3 and Acura RDX, but no one has to know you were able to get a $46,900 2024 Volvo XC60 B5 Core Dark Theme with all-wheel drive for $42,685. Not only is the XC60 stylish, but that extra $4,215 in your pocket sure won’t be anything to complain about, either.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class - 12 Percent Off
While many of the cars on this list are older, the Mercedes-Benz actually redesigned the C-Class just a couple of years ago. So as long as you don’t mind the controls and digital layout, you can get a 2024 Mercedes-Benz C 300 for $41,413 instead of the $46,950 MSRP. Heck, even if you don’t love the screens, saving $5,537 might be enough to convince you.
Mercedes-Benz EQB - 12 Percent Off
If you’re looking for reliability data on the Mercedes-Benz EQB, sadly, it’s too new for Consumer Reports to have enough data to make a prediction. That said, it looks like you can get some pretty sweet deals on the EQB if you’re in the market for an electric crossover. While the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+ has an MSRP of $53,050, expect the dealer to take $6,519 off the top, bringing that price down to $46,531.
Subaru Soltera - 14 Percent Off
Whether Toyota will admit it or not, the bZ4X has a reputation for being a compliance car. Toyota needed an EV, so the bZ4X is an EV. The Subaru Solterra is essentially the same car with some different bodywork and a Subaru badge. If the 227-mile range is enough for your needs, then you can save $6,218 on a 2024 Subaru Solterra Premium with all-wheel drive. Compared to the cost of the average new car, $44,995 isn’t bad, but $38,777 sure sounds a lot better.
