SUV finance deals to avoid this month
The weakest SUV finance offers we scored
- 2026 Ford Expedition (score: -2.06%) 7.5% APR over 84 months on a $62,700 SUV. A negative score means the manufacturer loan costs more than a 7% bank loan over the same term.
- 2027 Ford Explorer (score: -2.06%) The same 7.5% over 84 months on a $38,465 SUV. Ford has three of the four negative SUV scores this month.
- 2027 Lincoln Aviator (score: -0.85%) 7.3% APR over 60 months on a $57,495 SUV. Any credit union quote under 7% beats it.
How to evaluate any SUV finance deal
How to read an SUV finance offer
A low APR and a cash bonus do different jobs. Cash cuts what you borrow on day one, while a low rate cuts what you pay over years. The Finance Score turns both into one number: total savings against a 7% loan, as a share of the sticker price.
Work out the interest a 7% loan would cost over the same term, subtract the interest the manufacturer rate costs, then add any cash bonus.
Finance Score = total savings / sticker x 100
What the ratings mean
Every SUV on this page is scored the same way. Luxury SUVs are ranked on their own page under identical thresholds.
The 2026 Ford Expedition’s -2.06% score shows the opposite case. A rate above 7% stretched over 84 months costs more in interest than the 7% baseline, so the score goes negative.

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.
