Best SUV finance deals right now
Top 10 picks for August 2026, ranked by Finance Score.
Kia returns to the SUV finance rankings and the EV9 takes #1 immediately at 27.91% Finance Score. 0% APR paired with $5,000 cash on a 60-month term produces $15,325 in total savings.
The same EV9 leads the overall finance rankings across all vehicle types too.
Drops to #2 at 27.84%, unchanged terms from July. Still the highest dollar savings on this page at $16,414 thanks to its longer 72-month term.
A modest $500 cash bonus, but a full 72 months at 0% APR keeps the Ioniq 5 in Excellent territory on a relatively affordable $35,000 SUV.
Five SUVs tie at 22.75% this month, all on pure 0% APR with no cash bonus over 72 months. The Wagoneer S leads this tied group on dollar savings at $14,835 given its $65,200 sticker.
Mazda’s larger three-row PHEV ties in the middle of this group, same 0% APR and 72-month structure as the rest.
Mazda’s smaller PHEV crossover ties right behind its CX-90 sibling, same terms across the board.
The 2025 Outlander PHEV also ties at 22.75%. Note this is the 2025 model year specifically, the 2026 PHEV version scores considerably lower at 10.14%.
The standard gas Outlander ties this group too, at the identical 22.75% score. Proof that Mitsubishi’s 0% APR push this month applies broadly across the lineup, not just the PHEV.
The best non-zero-APR pick in the top 10. 0.9% APR with no cash still produces a strong score on a $40,795 three-row SUV.
Rounds out the top 10 at 18.81%, pure 0% APR with no cash needed on a $41,000 SUV.

SUV finance deals to avoid this month
The worst SUV finance offers we tracked
- 2027 Lincoln Navigator (score: -2.06%) The worst SUV finance deal this month, and the worst deal we tracked across any category. 7.5% APR over 84 months on a $91,995 SUV produces a negative Finance Score, meaning the terms cost more than a standard 7% loan.
- 2026 Lincoln Corsair (score: -1.36%) Also negative. Same 84-month term problem as its Navigator sibling.
- 2026 Jeep Cherokee (score: 3.77%) Not negative, but weak. 5.9% APR over 72 months barely clears positive territory.
How to evaluate any SUV finance deal
Why so many SUVs tie at the same score
Five SUVs this month land at exactly 22.75%: the Jeep Wagoneer S, both Mazda PHEVs, and both Mitsubishi Outlander versions. All share the identical structure, 0% APR, no cash, 72 months, so the score comes down entirely to how much interest a 7% loan would have cost on that specific sticker price.
The Wagoneer S at $65,200 saves $14,835 in that structure. The Mitsubishi Outlander at $30,460 saves only $6,931, a smaller dollar figure but the identical percentage score, because Finance Score is normalized against MSRP.
What the ratings mean
Finance Score bands work the same for SUVs as any other category. Elite (25%+) requires either 0% APR on an expensive vehicle with a long term, or 0% APR plus a meaningful cash bonus. Only the Kia EV9 and Hyundai IONIQ 9 reach Elite this month.
The 2027 Lincoln Navigator’s -2.06% score is a useful illustration of the opposite: a high APR combined with an unusually long 84-month term actually costs more in interest than the 7% baseline used for comparison, producing a negative number.

Run the Numbers Before You Choose
SUVs carry bigger loan balances, which is exactly where a low rate tends to beat a rebate. Check it against your own figures rather than assuming.
