KBB’s Best October 2026 Deals: 0% APR on the Hyundai Santa Fe and Mazda CX-50

Kelley Blue Book’s list of the best car deals for October 2026 leads with 0% APR financing on the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe, starting at $36,650, with a 60-month term and no payments for 90 days. The same deal applies to 2027 Santa Fe models and to the 2026 and 2027 Santa Fe Hybrid. The Santa Fe’s case is space for its size: a smaller three-row midsize SUV with an upscale interior and generous standard features, now financed free.

Second on the list is the 2026 Mazda CX-50 at 0% APR, starting at $31,395, on a 36-month term. The CX-50 is the wider, longer, more rugged-looking sibling of the CX-5, with standard all-wheel drive and extra ground clearance for dirt-road capability, wrapped in what remains one of the most upscale interiors in its class. Both offers expire November 2, 2026, and both vary by region — check the manufacturer’s site before visiting a dealer.

The pattern behind the list is the model-year changeover: as new models arrive, deals pop up on outgoing ones, and October pairs that inventory pressure with low-rate financing. KBB’s standing advice applies: the prices listed are for the trim on special, or the base price where the offer applies to all trims, and include destination — tax, title and license are extra. With the November 2 expiry, shoppers have days, not weeks, to use these two rates.
