End of summer, start of savings Labor Day has long marked the unofficial close of summer—one last long weekend before school routines and cooler weather set in. But it’s also one of the best times of year to shop for a new car. Automakers and dealerships roll out aggressive incentives to clear out inventory, making the holiday weekend a prime moment to score a deal. This year is no exception. From full-size pickups to compact EVs, manufacturers are dangling 0% APR financing, deferred payments, and leases with shockingly low monthly rates. These offers generally expire the Tuesday after Labor Day, though some—like Volkswagen’s—stretch into the end of September. Here are 10 of the best deals for Labor Day 2025. Hyundai Palisade 2025 Hyundai Palisade Hyundai USA News Room Hyundai has carved out a reputation for value-packed vehicles, and the 2025 Palisade continues that streak. This three-row SUV offers a refined ride, a tech-heavy interior, and plenty of space for growing families. Through Labor Day, buyers can snag 0% APR financing for 60 months, with no payments for 90 days. That deal applies across all trims—from the affordable SE to the luxury-grade Calligraphy—and even extends to the Santa Fe and Ioniq 5. With an MSRP of $38,695, the Palisade makes a strong case as a do-it-all SUV. Chevy Silverado 1500 2025 Chevrolet Silverado The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is one of the most versatile trucks on the market, with trim levels ranging from work-ready basics to the off-road-focused ZR2 and luxury High Country. For Labor Day, Chevy is offering 0% APR financing for 36 months, plus $1,000 cash back. With an MSRP starting at $37,845, it’s a solid chance to get into a truck that can tow, haul, and still handle family duty. Toyota Corolla 2025 Toyota Corolla Toyota For those who just need an affordable, reliable daily driver, the 2025 Toyota Corolla is tough to beat. The world’s best-selling car comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, dual Bluetooth, and plenty of driver-assist features. Toyota is running a Labor Day lease special at $229 per month for 36 months with $2,999 down. That’s for the entry-level LE trim, which starts at $23,520. If you’re after fuel economy and bulletproof reliability, this is a safe bet. Volkswagen ID.4 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 Volkswagen Looking for an EV? Volkswagen is making it hard to say no. The 2025 ID.4, a comfortable compact SUV with up to 291 miles of range, is available this month for a $129 per month lease for 24 months with $2,499 down. That’s for the Pro trim, which starts at $46,520. Alternatively, VW is offering 0% APR for 72 months if you’d rather buy. Either way, it’s one of the most aggressive EV deals we’ve seen this year—and it runs until September 30, a few weeks longer than most Labor Day promotions. Mazda CX-30 2025 Mazda CX-30 Mazda Mazda’s CX-30 blends nimble handling with a near-premium interior, making it a standout in the small SUV segment. Standard all-wheel drive and a full suite of driver-assist features only sweeten the package. Right now, you can lease the 2.5 S Preferred trim for $275 per month over 33 months with $3,999 down. With an MSRP of $30,635, the CX-30 is one of the best values for shoppers who want something practical but still fun to drive. Kia Sportage 2025 Kia Sportage Kia Kia’s Sportage stands out with its striking styling and roomy interior. Buyers can choose between gas, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid powertrains, but this month the gas-only Sportage gets 0% APR financing for 48 months. With an MSRP of $30,145, it’s a compelling choice in the compact SUV segment. Prefer the hybrid? That’s available at just 0.9% APR for 48 months—a strong alternative if fuel economy is a priority. Honda Accord 2025 Honda Accord Honda The Honda Accord has long been a midsize sedan benchmark, combining reliability, a roomy cabin, and surprisingly fun handling. For 2025, Honda is offering a $239 per month lease for 36 months with $3,699 down on the LX trim. With an MSRP of $29,445, it’s one of the most affordable ways to get into a new midsize sedan this holiday weekend. And if you’d prefer the hybrid, Honda is running similar lease deals there, too. Ford F-150 2025 Ford F-150 Ford No Labor Day sale would be complete without the Ford F-150, America’s best-selling vehicle. The 2025 F-150 combines rugged towing and payload capabilities with an interior that can be as basic or as plush as you’d like. Ford is sweetening the pot with 0% APR financing, no payments for 90 days, no down payment, and a free 24-month maintenance plan. The offer also applies to leftover 2024 trucks and popular SUVs like the Explorer, Escape, Expedition, and even the Bronco. With an MSRP starting at $39,645, that’s a lot of truck for the money. Nissan Rogue 2025 Nissan Rogue Nissan The Nissan Rogue has grown into one of the larger compact SUVs in its class, offering excellent fuel economy and a long list of standard safety tech. For Labor Day, Nissan is giving buyers 0% APR financing for up to 60 months across all trims. Opting for the Rock Creek edition? You may also qualify for $1,750 cash back. Starting at $29,980, the Rogue is a value-packed option for families who want extra space without stepping up to a midsize SUV. Subaru Outback 2025 Subaru Outback Subaru Few vehicles straddle the line between SUV and wagon quite like the Subaru Outback. Standard all-wheel drive, roomy cargo space, and Subaru’s EyeSight safety suite make it a perennial favorite. Subaru is offering 0.9% APR for 36 months, or 1.9% APR for up to 72 months if you want a longer loan term. With an MSRP of $31,415, the Outback is already known for holding its value—this deal just makes it more appealing. Buyers should note, though, that the Outback is getting an all-new redesign for 2026. Final thoughts Labor Day has become one of the best times of the year to shop for a car, and 2025’s lineup of deals makes it clear why. From big trucks like the Silverado and F-150 to affordable commuters like the Corolla and Accord—and even a bargain EV lease on the ID.4—there’s something for just about every type of buyer. As always, offers can vary by region, and extra costs like taxes and fees still apply. However, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy or lease, this holiday weekend could be it.
