Electric Car Deals September 2026
Audi S e-tron GT
For the month of September, Audi is shaving off $20,000 from the S e-tron GT's MSRP. While a $20,000 discount sounds great, remember the sports sedan starts at $129,095.
The Audi S e-tron GT uses the same J1 II platform as the updated Porsche Taycan. In many ways, the Audi S e-tron GT is a better value than the Taycan. It comes as standard with dual motors, the 'Performance Battery Plus,' adaptive cruise control, lane centering, premium audio, and a 3-zone climate control system. All of which cost extra in the Taycan.
The S e-tron GT makes a substantial 670 horsepower, delivering a zero to sixty time of just 3.3 seconds. The 105kWh battery delivers 300 miles of range and a lightning-fast 10 to 80% charging time of 18 minutes.
Polestar 4
$25,000 cash off
$1,700 bonus for builds featuring Nappa leather seats
$1,000 additional loyalty bonus for current Polestar owners
$18,000 cash off and 0% APR for 60 months
Lease for $499 per month for 39 months with $1,500 due at signing
The Polestar 4 is a high-riding liftback without a rear window. It features a 100kWh battery and either a single- or dual-motor setup. The rear-wheel-drive setup delivers 310 miles of EPA range, and the dual setup can travel up to 280 miles. Standard features include a power liftgate, an 8-speaker audio system, 20-inch alloy wheels, pet mode, and the Pilot Assist suite.
Including destination, the Polestar 4 starts at $57,800. However, due to limited inventory, most retail for around $65,000 with options. Still, it's feasible to secure new ones in the low-$40,000 range with the discount applied.

Kia EV3
$1,500 cash off
0.90% APR for 48 months
Lease the Wind FWD for $349 for 24 months with $3,999 due at signing
The Kia EV3 is barely out, yet the brand is offering some light incentives against an already affordable price. Kia's compact EV gets a $1,500 bonus, bringing the effective starting price down to $29,885. If you'd prefer the 300-mile-range version, you're looking at $34,985.
The mid-level Wind trim gets an 81.4kWh battery, delivering a healthy EPA range of 321 miles. The Wind comes with a 10-way power driver's seat, Highway Driving Assist (HDA), wireless Apple CarPlay, a dual-level charging cable, and an NACS port. A 10 to 80% charge takes 31 minutes in the large battery configuration.

Hyundai IONIQ 5
$6,500 cash off ($5,500 off in California)
0% APR for 72 months
The IONIQ 5, now on its fifth model year, is surprisingly more affordable than ever. Hyundai not only lowered the base price for the 2026 model year, but it's also offering additional hefty incentives this month.
The IONIQ 5 is offered in 5 main trims, but we'd recommend skipping the entry-level SE version, which offers 245 miles of range and an anemic 168 horsepower. The long-range versions come with an 82kWh battery delivering up to 318 miles of range, along with a more potent 225 horsepower setup.
The SE Long Range RWD doesn't come with an extensive list of standard features. It offers cloth seats and few creature comforts, but it includes Highway Drive Assist (HDA), which features adaptive cruise control and lane centering as standard.
The Long Range starts at $39,100, but with the incentive, it comes in at $32,600. For comparison, a new Toyota RAV4 LE is $33,495.

Hyundai IONIQ 9
$10,000 bonus on cash purchases
$3,000 off plus 0% APR for 72 months
Lease for $369 per month for 36 months with $3,999 due at signing
The IONIQ 9 is Hyundai's take on the electric three-row. It offers more range and a slightly larger form factor than its platform sibling Kia EV9. The entry-level IONIQ 9 gets the same 110.3kWh battery as the higher trim levels, delivering an EPA range of 335 miles. The entry-level SE seats seven passengers and can charge from 10 to 80% in just 24 minutes.
All IONIQ 9s get HDA 2.0 with adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and automated lane changes.
This September, Hyundai is slicing $10,000 off the IONIQ 9's sticker price. This brings the IONIQ 9 S's price down to a reasonable $51,055.

Kia EV9
$10,000 bonus on cash purchases
$5,000 off plus 0% APR for 72 months
$439 for 24 months with $3,999 due at signing
The Kia EV9 has been on American roads for almost three years. It's a spacious 3-row with up to 305 miles of range. Thanks to its e-GMP architecture, charging times are class-leading, and all models are V2L capable. The most expensive GT-Line offers a feature-packed cabin with a head-up display, Meridian sound system, ventilated second-row seats, and dual sunroofs.
This month, Kia is taking $10,000 off the EV9's purchase price. With destination fees, a Light Short Range costs $46,545. For that price, you're getting 230 miles of range, along with a 10 to 80% charging time of just 20 minutes.

Kia Niro EV
$10,000 bonus on cash purchases
Lease for $269 per month for 24 months with $3,999 due at signing
The Kia Niro EV is the most 'normal' electric car here. It doesn't do anything groundbreaking, but it's a pleasant, reliable electric car. It uses a 64.8kWh battery and can manage an EPA range of 253 miles. The basic warranty lasts 5 years or 60,000 miles, and the EV system warranty lasts 10 years or 100,000 miles.
The entry-level Niro EV Wind starts at $41,195. With the incentive, you're looking at $31,195. For that price, the Niro EV features heated front seats, a power driver's seat, adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
