Best Fourth of July Car Deals

Normally, Sunday evening marks the end of the weekend. But this weekend is different — at least as far as car selling is concerned. Because the Fourth of July falls on a Tuesday, this holiday weekend will be four days long. If you're in the market for a car, truck or SUV, that's great news for you.

To help you find the right deal, we present some of the deepest discounts we've seen. We've also included a good zero-down lease offer and, if you're a bit flush, a pair of luxury cars.

Cash-back offers, rebates and incentives can vary by region, so be sure to check that the offers shown here apply in your area. To do this, click the car link and update the ZIP code shown just below the car's photo. Also, note that these discounts may not apply to every trim level within a model line.

Some of these offers may even get better if you can apply additional bonus cash offers, military appreciation offers or recent college grad specials. Check the Edmunds Incentives and Rebates page to see all the rebates for which you may qualify.

Starting Price: Base models start around $32,000

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $6,900 range.
Our Editors Say: This six- or seven-seat car-based SUV doesn't have the name recognition of some of its higher-profile competitors. In fact, you might be surprised how far your dollar will go with the Santa Fe. It scores big with an appealing blend of power, comfort and style, along with the industry's best warranty.

Starting Price: Base models start around $48,500.

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $12,000 range.
Our Editors Say: There are plenty of car-based crossovers to choose from these days. But there are times when you might want the capabilities of a beefy, traditional SUV. The 2017 Ford Expedition is one of our top recommendations in this segment, thanks to massive passenger, cargo and towing capabilities.

2017 Chevy Tahoe
Starting Price: Base models start around $48,000.

The Deal: Depending on the trim level, we're seeing discounts in the $9,000 range.
Our Editors Say: The 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe is a throwback to the not-so-distant past, when SUVs were based on trucks and the "utility" in SUV was paramount. So if you need a vehicle that can haul up to nine people and tow up to 8,600 pounds, the Tahoe is the right kind of SUV.

Minivans:

2017 Toyota Sienna
Starting Price: Base models start around $31,000.

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $6,500 range.
Our Editors Say: Although the Toyota Sienna is one of the older minivans in the segment, a steady stream of improvements has kept it competitive. It deserves consideration, especially if you need all-wheel drive.

2017 Chrysler Pacifica
Starting Price: Base models start around $30,000.

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $7,000 range.
Our Editors Say: With its stylish looks and clever features, the all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is one of our top picks for a minivan this year. Take a test drive and we think you'll be surprised on how closely the Pacifica can match (or even exceed) the look, feel and performance of the segment all-stars, the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna.

Trucks:

2017 Ram 1500 Crew Cab
Starting Price: Base models start around $34,000.

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $12,500 range.
Our Editors Say: Looking for a light-duty pickup with clever outside-the-box thinking? The 2017 Ram 1500's unique coil-spring rear suspension gives it a smooth unloaded ride, but it can still tow your trailer like a champ with its stout gasoline V8 or torquey turbodiesel V6.

2017 Nissan Titan XD Diesel
Starting Price: Base models start around $32,500.

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $10,500 range.
Our Editors Say: In terms of price and capability, the 2017 Nissan Titan XD fills the gap between typical light-duty and heavy-duty trucks. With a variety of trim levels and a strong diesel engine option, it's a unique truck that offers something its competitors don't. When equipped with the diesel V8, the Titan XD feels like a stout draft horse. It's not particularly fast or nimble, but it can handle some serious heavy lifting.

Hybrid and Electric:

2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Starting Price: Base models start around $26,300.

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $5,300 range.
Our Editors Say: If you're shopping for a hybrid sedan, you'll want to check out the 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid. We like its impressive refinement, high fuel economy, well-rounded performance and high-tech features.

2017 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Sedan

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $7,400 range.
Our Editors Say: All modern large sedans provide a roomy interior, a big trunk and plenty of standard features. But few can provide excellent fuel economy, too. The 2017 Toyota Avalon Hybrid delivers all this.

2017 Kia Soul EV
Starting Price: Base models start around $35,000.

The Deal: $14,750 in bonus lease cash
Our Editors Say: Some EVs suffer a reduction in cargo space due to their extra batteries, but the Soul EV does not. In terms of passenger and cargo room, it lines up more with the new batch of subcompact SUVs rather than compact hatchbacks.

And now for the extras:

Luxury Cars:

2017 Maserati Quattroporte S
Starting Price: About $118,000

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $22,000 range.
Our Editors Say: Big, plush and a feast for the eyes, the 2017 Maserati Quattroporte is a Ferrari-powered sedan that competes with some of the top luxury flagship rivals on the market today. Though the standard V6 engine might be satisfying for most buyers, we can't help but recommend the fire-breathing V8 in the Quattroporte GTS.

2017 Audi A8
Starting Price: About $87,000

The Deal: Depending on trim level, we are seeing discounts in the $9,500 range
Our Editors Say: Craving a sophisticated luxury sedan that keeps a low profile? The Audi A8 offers great performance and a sumptuous interior, yet it's not a paparazzi magnet like many executive sedans. If you're looking to glide below the radar, the A8 might be just right.

Spotlight Zero-Down Lease:

2017 Toyota RAV4 LE
Starting Price: Base models start around $25,000

The Deal: Lease a new 2017 RAV4 LE for $255 a month for 36 months with no money due at signing. Though you might not see this offer advertised in your region, ask and you should be able to get a zero-down deal, possibly even with a slightly lower monthly payment.
Our Editors Say: Overall, the RAV4 is exactly as comfortable as we would expect it to be. Its accommodations are spacious, and its seats are soft enough for hours in the saddle. Its agreeable ride quality is also a plus.
