The main story this month is, once again, multiple low-rate financing options. Several automakers are pushing 0% APR, making long-term loans easier to manage. These 0% rates apply across segments, including sedans, SUVs, and pickups. Some also include bonus cash or delayed payments, too.
We’re seeing 0% on new EVs, hybrids, and models with traditional engines. Hyundai is running 0% APR on the most vehicles below, but Nissan is spreads zero‑rate financing across the Rogue, Pathfinder, Murano, and Armada. Other popular options creep up into the 5% range.

Lease pricing stays pretty balanced in May, with options for budget shoppers and families alike. Entry‑level choices start under $250 per month, including the 2026 Hyundai Elantra and 2026 Buick Envista. Small SUVs like the 2026 Subaru Forester and 2026 Hyundai Venue stay below the $300 mark.
Mid‑size sedans and crossovers get a little higher, but the 2026 Nissan Rogue, 2026 Toyota Camry, and 2026 Ford Maverick all post manageable monthly payments. For full-size trucks, it’s hard to beat the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, leasing for $329 a month. The 2026 Ford F-150 is $438/month. Meanwhile, Kia enters the mix with the first 2027 model we’ve seen so far this year.

Factory cash plays a major role in May savings, especially on EVs and large vehicles. Hyundai and Kia post savings up to $10,000 on select electric models. Chevrolet and Ford focus on trucks, with up to $7,000 on the Silverado 1500 and up to $9,000 on the F‑150 Lightning. Also take note of Nissan, offering customer cash across much of its lineup.

Ford highlights employee pricing across its lineup. It’s also promoting new federal tax deductions that allow eligible buyers to deduct up to $10,000 in annual interest paid on qualifying U.S.‑assembled vehicles. If you’re graduating from college, you can also get $500 savings from pretty much any major automaker.
