Black Friday EV Deals: Big Savings on Desirable EVs

Forget the headlines about a slowdown in electric vehicle sales. If you're in the market for a new EV, significant savings are still available, though they're no longer primarily driven by the federal tax credit. This month's curated list focuses on attractive Black Friday deals for desirable electric vehicles across various styles and price points, moving beyond just the cheapest options to highlight cars you'll genuinely want to own.

2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5: Substantial MSRP Reductions and Additional Savings

Our top pick this month is the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5, a vehicle that previously earned MotorTrend's SUV of the Year title. Hyundai has surprised the market by lowering the MSRPs for the 2026 model year by an impressive $7,600 to $9,800. This discount is universally applied, meaning no complex eligibility requirements are needed. For instance, the rear-wheel-drive SE trim, featuring a potent motor and an extended-range battery offering 318 miles, now comes in at just under $40,000. You'll get the Ioniq 5's distinctive design and a spacious interior, all while benefiting from these significant price cuts. In addition to the MSRP reduction, an extra $1,500 off is also available, making this an exceptional value.

2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E: Extended 0% Financing and Bonus Cash

Ford is offering a compelling package on the 2025 Mustang Mach-E, featuring 0% financing for an extended 72 months, a full six years. This is complemented by an additional discount of up to $3,000, which varies by region. While the Mach-E might have a few quirks, like its less-than-intuitive door handles, it remains a strong contender. This comparison-test winner boasts respectable range, an enjoyable driving experience, and has earned a 2025 Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS.

2026 Kia EV9: A Generous $10,000 Price Cut

Following last month's highlight of the EV6, the 2026 Kia EV9 is now in the spotlight with a substantial $10,000 discount. This equates to approximately $3,333 in savings per row for its three-row configuration. The EV9 is a well-regarded vehicle, and this incentive applies across the entire model lineup, including trims that have already seen price adjustments for 2026. While the gasoline-powered Telluride may still be a more budget-friendly option, the EV9 offers distinct EV advantages such as a quieter ride, quicker acceleration, and the convenience of home charging. Additionally, both the EV6 and EV9 are available with 0% financing for 60 months, along with a $2,500 rebate, demonstrating Kia's strong commitment to its electric offerings.

2025 BMW i4: Attractive Financing and Manufacturer Rebate

For those drawn to the prestige of a luxury brand, the 2025 BMW i4 presents an appealing Black Friday deal. It's available with 1.99% financing for 60 months (or an even lower 0.9% for 48 months) and a significant $7,500 manufacturer rebate. While the initial price point may be higher than competitors like the Tesla Model 3, the i4 delivers a quintessential BMW driving experience. Even the base eDrive40 RWD model offers brisk acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds. The upcoming 2026 i4 model is expected to offer an improved range and a more powerful M60 variant.

2026 Lucid Air: Exceptional Savings for Luxury EV Buyers

The Lucid Air, despite occasional reports of minor build or software hiccups, offers a truly premium ownership experience. It's an engaging car to drive, features a luxurious interior, and boasts class-leading range. This Black Friday, substantial savings are available, with up to $14,500 off. Buyers opting for a cash purchase can benefit from a $12,500 discount. Furthermore, Lucid is offering an additional $2,000 bonus for customers who currently own a luxury vehicle from a select list of over 20 brands, known as a conquest bonus.
