6 SUVs That Will Have Massive Price Drops in the Summer of 2025
For SUV shoppers, summer 2025 will be the perfect time to find deep discounts, generous incentives and excellent financing on both electric and gas-powered models. Lauren Fix, automotive expert at Car Coach Reports, said this trend is being driven by inventory surpluses, shifting consumer preferences and new tariff policies that are forcing automakers to rethink pricing.

Recently, we've seen Ford offer aggressive discounting as the manufacturer prioritizes U.S. production and tries to clear dealer lots, per USA Today report. Electric vehicles and luxury SUVs are especially vulnerable, as demand softens and competition heats up in both the compact and high-end markets.
According to Fix, buyers should expect discounts ranging from $3,000 to $15,000 off MSRP, especially if they shop in June or July and compare dealership offers. This summer's market conditions offer a rare chance to score a premium SUV at a much lower price.
The Porsche Macan EV, which debuted with high expectations, is now facing sluggish demand and growing inventory at dealerships.
According to Edmunds, the 2025 Macan Electric starts at $75,300, but dealers are already offering discounts of $10,000 to $15,000 to move unsold models. Motorauthority also reports that the new rear-wheel-drive base Macan EV is cheaper than last year's entry-level model, reflecting the pressure on Porsche to stay competitive.
Buyers interested in a luxury electric SUV will find this summer an excellent time to negotiate a deal, especially as more affordable and updated EVs hit the market.
Trending Now:
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio, once a standout in the luxury SUV segment, is now among the fastest-depreciating vehicles in its class.
'The Stelvio's steep 67% depreciation makes it a bargain, with cuts up to $12,000 as dealers clear out inventory,' according to CarEdge. The site notes the Stelvio loses about 67% of its value within five years, with a five-year resale value of just $18,957.
Shoppers looking for a European luxury SUV can expect some of the steepest price cuts on the Stelvio this summer, making it a bargain for those willing to accept higher long-term depreciation.
The Chevrolet Blazer EV, another electric SUV facing stiff competition and slow sales, is likely to be heavily discounted in the coming months.
'Dealers are motivated to offer $5,000 to $10,000 off MSRP to move unsold Blazer EVs,' Fix said.
As automakers deal with high inventory and tariff pressures, buyers should monitor dealership promotions and be ready to negotiate. This summer presents a unique chance to get a high-tech electric SUV at a substantial discount.
Ford's Mustang Mach-E, a key player in the electric SUV market, is experiencing excess inventory and slow sales in 2025.
'Ford's Mustang Mach-E faces excess inventory, driving discounts of $5,000 to $10,000, especially on 2024 models,' Fix shared.
Ford Authority reports that Ford has launched an employee pricing program for everyone, offering nationwide discounts on both 2024 and 2025 Mach-E models. These incentives, which can total $5,000 to $10,000 off MSRP, are available through July and include additional perks like complimentary home chargers.
The Volvo XC90, a mainstay in the luxury SUV market, is expected to see significant price drops as dealers clear out older models ahead of a refresh.
Car and Driver reports that the 2025 XC90 starts at $58,695, but local dealers are discounting current inventory by $7,000 to $12,000 to make room for the updated version.
Buyers can expect additional incentives and low financing rates, especially on the outgoing model, making this summer a great time to buy a luxury SUV with a reputation for safety and reliability.
The Ford Escape, a popular compact SUV, is also seeing major price reductions as the 2025 model year approaches.
According to CarBuzz, the 2025 Escape is cheaper than the 2024 version, with price cuts starting at $1,395 on the base trim and up to $2,100 for the plug-in hybrid. Dealers are offering additional discounts of $3,000 to $6,000 to clear out remaining 2024 inventory, especially as demand for compact SUVs slows.
Buyers interested in an affordable, fuel-efficient SUV will find the Escape especially attractive this summer, with deep discounts and incentives available.

McMenamin: Sale of Lakers won't affect LeBron James' future with team
With a majority share of the Los Angeles Lakers set to be sold by the Buss family to Mark Walter, who has been the Los Angeles Dodgers' primary owner since 2012, plenty of fans are wondering what that will mean as far as LeBron James' future with the team. James has a player option for next season that will pay him $52.6 million if he exercises it. He can also opt out and sign a new, slightly contract, whether he takes a pay cut or even agrees to one that would pay him more than his current deal. Advertisement Some have criticized the Buss family for allegedly caving in to the whims of James and Klutch Sports when it comes to personnel moves. But according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, the regime change won't change James' desire to remain with the franchise. 'I'm told that one person that this decision to sell the team has no bearing on his decision moving forward with the Lakers is LeBron James. He still has a decision at the end of the month to decide whether to opt in for next year's contract worth about $56 million or opt out and become a free agent. 'This decision by the Lakers to sell the team has no bearing on where LeBron is going to choose to go next year. And, again, we've been given no indication thus far that LeBron won't be a Laker next season.' James averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds a game while shooting 51.3% from the field and 37.6% from 3-point range this season. Assuming he plays next season, as most expect him to, he would be participating in his 23rd NBA season, which would be a new league record.
