2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
Log all this under "deals that surprised us." Perhaps one might even brighten your Christmas.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado: General Motors re-made its big pickups from top to bottom and that usually means an end to super-rich sales sweeteners, but not this time. A well-equipped Silverado might be had with nearly $7,000 in discounts off the posted price. This speaks less to the quality of the re-do, and more to the ferocious competition in the pickup market. Every auto maker is throwing crazy money at pickup shoppers, GM is just keeping up with the rest.
2014 Kia Rondo: You would be hard-pressed to find a more useful all-around family wagon – short of an actual minivan, of course. Kia, like GM with its pickups, re-styled and re-engineered the Rondo for 2014 and did a fine job. The cabin looks expensive and the exterior design is smooth and well proportioned. And with incentives as rich as $4,000 in total, this all-new wagon is a very, very good deal. By the way, Kia is giving away a car a day this month, so you might get a new ride for free if you visit a dealer.
2013 Nissan Sentra: All the experts say the answer to any car company's woes is found in good product. The Sentra is a very new design and hugely affordable, yet here at the end of 2013, the right buyer should be able to put together offers worth $3,000 or more on a sub-$20,000 commuter car.
2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport: Hyundai's very stylish crossover wagon is a top-10 best seller in Canada and a cornerstone of Hyundai's lineup. It has a fashionable design, does well in crash tests, comes with lots of room inside and boasts a good, good reliability record. An informed buyer should string together $3,000 more in discounts. Again, this deal speaks to the rivalry among car companies that depend on crossover sales.
