When you’re offered $20,000 cash back on one of the sexiest cars on the road, you could overlook the things it doesn’t do well, right? Or could you? That’s the question we’re asking in this edition of highlighting the best EV deals on cars you actually might want to drive.
Take, for example, the Audi E-Tron GT. Maybe a six-figure four-door sports car is a hard sell even with a great EV deal. That’s why we’ve curated this list with picks across the market and at lower price points. It’s part of a series you’ll find only on MotorTrend; check out our September picks below.
A quick note on these deals: They’re correct as of publishing, but availability may vary near you. Check back next month for more EV deals.

2026 Audi E-Tron GT Deal: $20,000 Off
We’re leading with the Audi here because, well, just look at it. Built on the same tech as the Porsche Taycan, we said in a 2025 review of the quicker RS model that Audi deserves Porsche-level credit for the way it combines power, personality, and performance.
The lesser S model is being discontinued for the 2027 model year, so this EV deal is a selloff of the remaining 2026 S models. When we last drove an E-Tron GT, we had issues with the interior not feeling sufficiently rich and wanted a one-pedal driving option.
Fewer than 100 are left to be snagged for this deal. If we were already in the market for a lower-trim Porshe Taycan, we’d probably check to see if one of these Audis was within driving distance, waiting to be claimed.

2026 Kia EV6 Deal: $5,000 Off or 0% for 60 Months
The EV6 doesn’t sell as well as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 it shares a platform with, but that could be seen as part of its appeal. With the Kia, you’ll have a fun-to-drive wagonlike SUV with real character, one you won’t see as often as the Hyundai.
One drawback? The EV6 doesn’t qualify for an IIHS safety award, but the Ioniq 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E do.

2026 Kia EV9 Deal: $5,000 Off and 0% for 60 Months
We’ve seen a lot of deals rolled back compared to last month, but that’s not the case here. Getting 0 percent financing for 60 months on a 2026 Kia EV9 three-row SUV and $5,000 on top is still worthy of a place on this list of the best EV deals around. The other option on the table? $10,000 off without special financing.
The EV9 nearly became our SUV of the Year a few years ago, and it remains a good choice if the benefits of EV ownership—home charging if you have a home setup, quiet commuting, quick acceleration—outweigh the cons, such as longer road-trip stops and a slightly higher price than a similarly equipped Telluride.

2026 Tesla Model 3 Deal: 1.99% for 72 Months
The post-refresh Tesla Model 3 is so well priced that it’s easy to consider it as a similarly priced alternative to a gas-powered compact performance sedan. Interior and exterior colors are limited, but the Model 3 is a good option overall.
Getting 1.99 percent financing for up to 72 months only works on the Premium and Performance models, though. The less expensive base model—which just won a comparison—doesn’t qualify.
