Best New-Car Deals for Presidents Day 2026 and Beyond
Check out the potential savings on reliable models that earn CR's recommendation
February can be a great time to buy a new car, thanks to Presidents Day deals offered by many car brands. Discounts that lower purchase prices can also sweeten lease deals and reduce interest rates.
Regardless of how enticing these deals can look, shoppers should do their research before getting serious about a purchase. There’s always a reason some models have bigger discounts than others, such as seasonality or a redesign, or perhaps it’s a vehicle with sales that have fallen behind fresher competition.
