Published: July 7, 2025 | Auto Market News | United StatesAs the automotive industry accelerates into the second half of 2025, U.S. retailers are offering a diverse lineup of SUVs designed to meet the evolving needs of American drivers. From fuel-efficient electric crossovers to rugged off-roaders and family-ready three-row models, the SUV market is experiencing a strong resurgence—driven by innovation, consumer demand, and dealership incentives.
According to recent dealership reports and auto industry analysts, 2025 marks a pivotal year in SUV offerings, with many vehicles receiving design upgrades, tech enhancements, and attractive financing options to lure buyers amid rising interest in hybrids and EVs.
Leading the midsize category is the 2025 Kia Telluride, which continues to be a favorite for families and adventure-seekers. This year’s model introduces updated safety systems, a refined interior, and enhanced connectivity features. Many U.S. retailers are offering limited-time deals such as 0.9% APR financing and up to $1,000 cashback.
In the EV segment, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 remains a strong contender. With its futuristic design, fast-charging capabilities, and an EPA-estimated range of over 300 miles, it appeals to tech-forward drivers looking to transition to electric mobility. Select dealers are offering 1.99% APR and potential federal EV tax credits.
Consumers looking for affordable options will find value in models like the 2025 Nissan Kicks, which now includes an AWD option and upgraded infotainment system featuring dual 12.3-inch screens. Retailers have priced the Kicks competitively under $24,000, with cashback incentives in some regions.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Honda CR-V and Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid are gaining traction in the hybrid space. Both models offer excellent fuel economy, spacious interiors, and advanced driver-assistance features. Toyota dealers are promoting up to $1,500 customer cash on Grand Highlander hybrid variants.
For buyers seeking luxury and innovation, the newly launched Lucid Gravity is one of the most talked-about entries in the premium electric SUV segment. With over 400 miles of estimated range, high-end finishes, and next-generation tech, it competes with legacy luxury brands while offering sustainable performance. Early buyers may qualify for free charging incentives and exclusive ownership benefits.
Tesla has also refreshed the Model Y for 2025, featuring a redesigned exterior, ambient lighting upgrades, and improved ride comfort. Tesla is offering inventory discounts and zero-down lease options to encourage adoption in key markets.
Throughout July 2025, major dealership groups like AutoNation, CarMax, and local franchise dealers are promoting nationwide SUV sales events. According to Kelley Blue Book, several top SUV deals available this month include:
Hyundai Ioniq 5 – 1.99% APR through July 7
Kia Sportage – 1.9% APR on select trims
Chevrolet Traverse – Lease offers under $400/month
Jeep Grand Cherokee – Up to $2,500 bonus cash
Incentives vary by region, with additional perks like military discounts, first responder bonuses, and loyalty offers available at select locations.
Industry experts anticipate continued strong demand for SUVs into the fall and holiday seasons. The increasing availability of hybrid and electric models, paired with improving supply chains and dealership incentives, is expected to drive healthy year-end sales.
“American buyers are prioritizing versatility, safety, and sustainability. Automakers are responding with models that offer both traditional reliability and modern innovation,” said Angela Carver, senior analyst at U.S. Auto Market Watch.
