If it’s absolutely vital that you purchase a new car by Independence Day and you only want your wallet to stay stuffed, look no further than the humble Kia Forte.
Factory discount: $1,250
Approximate price after savings: $20,000-$25,500
Approximate factory savings: 5%-6%
Offer ends: July 8
Not only is the LX trim among the cheapest new cars you can buy period, it’s also a car we recommend on more than just monetary merits. Boasting a competitive suite of safety tech and with prices up marginally over 2023, the Forte remains a bargain even before the savings.
In the regions we surveyed, all trims of the Forte were subject to $1,250 off, which amounts to as much as 6% off an unadorned LX. Alternatively, financing is available at 3.9% for 48 months. All such offers end July 8.
In calculating the overall percentage discount and pricing after incentives, we focus on the vehicle’s price range from the cheapest incentives-eligible trim level with no factory options to the priciest eligible trim with all factory options. We include the destination charge in such pricing, but we exclude a few other items: taxes and fees, which vary considerably by region, and dealer accessories, which vary considerably by automaker.
In sum: Your discounts may vary, so check with your local dealer for specifics.
