Electric vehicles continue to benefit from some of the highest discounts across the industry this year. The loss of the federal tax credit for new EVs last year—along with cooling customer demand—has opened up the door to some of the largest discounts on new vehicles we've seen. In October 2026, there are fantastic deals to be had on electric three-row SUVs, budget-friendly crossovers, and high-end performance cars. Based on the latest findings from CarsDirect, these are the major deals available right now.1. Hyundai Ioniq 9: $7,000 Off MSRP2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9HyundaiThere's more than one three-row EV on this list, and the Hyundai Ioniq 9 is the first. The refined and high-tech SUV is currently available with a $7,000 rebate on purchases, which represents a saving of over 10% on the SE. That trim starts at $62,765 and comes with extras like an eight-way power driver's seat and the 303-horsepower dual-motor powertrain. The Ioniq 9 has a large cabin, a smooth ride, and accelerates with enough verve. At just over $55k, it's a lot of SUV for the money. This offer runs until November 2, 2026.Related: I Drove the Hyundai Ioniq 9. Here's My Brutally Honest Review2. Kia EV9: $10,000 Off MSRP2026 Kia EV9KiaThe Kia EV9 shares much with the Ioniq 9, but comes with Kia's thoroughly distinctive design language. It appears sportier than the Hyundai, but the Ioniq 9 has a slightly more premium allure. The EV9 is available with up to $10,000 in customer cash, so you can save even more by choosing this over the Ioniq 9. However, the best EV9 deal may actually be this month's 0% APR financing offer for 60 months, which includes $5,000 in bonus cash. Both deals run until November 2, 2026.Related: I Drove the 2026 Kia EV9 GT-Line AWD. Here's My Honest Review3. Kia Niro EV: $10,000 Off MSRP2026 Kia Niro EVKiaThe Kia Niro EV is already one of the most affordable EVs on sale, and this month's discount makes it an even sweeter deal. It's available with a $10,000 customer cash incentive, which effectively drops the base Wind model's price to around the $30,000 mark. That's a great deal for a well-equipped EV that comes with dual digital displays, a power driver's seat, wireless phone charging, and navigation-based smart cruise control. The only thing counting against the Niro is the recent arrival of the more modern EV3, which carries a base price of under $30,000. This Kia incentive also runs until November 2, 2026.4. Polestar 4: $26,000 Off MSRP2026 Polestar 4James OchoaThe discounts get much bigger from here. The Polestar 4 is a particularly striking electric coupe-style crossover with a premium interior and quick acceleration, especially with dual motors. Sadly, Polestar will be banned from selling cars in the U.S. as of the 2027 model due to the automaker's ties to China. That somewhat explains the massive $26,000 discount available for the SUV now, which includes a $1,000 loyalty discount. The Polestar 4 starts at $56,400, so the discount would take the price down to mid-range Nissan Leaf levels, which is absurd for the amount of tech and performance on offer. Polestar says it will continue supporting existing customers once it ceases to sell new cars in the U.S., but many buyers will consider buying a car from a soon-to-be defunct automaker a risk.5. Audi RS e-Tron GT: $37,500 Off MSRP2027 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance in Bedford GreenAudiThe biggest EV incentive by far this October belongs to the Audi RS e-tron GT. By combining a $20,000 customer credit incentive and an unadvertised $17,500 marketing credit, customers can potentially save up to $37,500 when purchasing a new RS e-tron GT. This discount applies to the 2026 model, which has a hefty base price of $171,895 including destination. That's expensive, but this top model has a ballistic 0-60 mph time of 2.4 seconds. With the discounts, it'll cost around $135K, and you'll struggle to find anything at that price to match the Audi's performance and luxury. The offer runs until November 2, 2026.Final Thoughts2026 Kia Niro EVKiaEVs continue to offer some of the largest rebates available across the industry. However, this year has seen some automakers lower the base prices and limit rebates, as EVs move closer and closer to achieving cost parity with gas and hybrid vehicles. We advise buyers not to jump at the first big discount, as leasing or an alternative financing deal may end up being the better offer over several years.Related: Year-End Deals Are Here, and Some New Cars Are $30,000 Off MSRP
