The good news is that after analyzing current national incentives focused on SUVs, Consumer Reports’ analysts found nine models worth considering not only possessing strong overall scores factoring in road-test performance, owner satisfaction, reliability, and safety; but also range in discounts 5-7% below current MSRP sticker prices.

The models listed from CR analysts are focused on SUVs from Ford, General Motors, and Genesis that offers the best new SUV deals you will find right now that---although on average are selling for a bit over sticker price depending on the locale of the dealership---are still good deals should you be in need of an affordable SUV.
