If you’re looking for a sharply styled, long-range electric vehicle, the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL makes a strong argument for your money this month. We recommend this deal over the less expensive SE Standard Range and SE lease offers this month because the monthly savings don’t make up for the lost range of the Standard Range model, and the SEL has great equipment for the money.

4. 2026 Hyundai Kona

The 2026 Hyundai Kona has futuristic style, a compact footprint, a surprisingly roomy interior, and lots of features for the money. This month’s Kona SE with front-wheel drive (FWD) is the most affordable version, but you can get all-wheel drive (AWD) for $239/month with the same terms and cash due at signing.

Spacious despite its modest footprint, the 2026 Subaru Forester (Wilderness trim pictured) also features its key brand traits of sure-footed standard AWD and great safety equipment. All-new just last year, the Forester offers updated styling both inside and out, as well as upgraded equipment, including an 11.6-inch center touchscreen. The Base trim on special this month is the entry point, but well-equipped.
