Automakers continue to struggle with inventory pressure, and that is causing them to maintain strong incentives to attract more new car buyers. There are deals available on financing, leasing and cash back, according to the industry analysts at Kelley Blue Book (KBB).

KBB’s analysts have parsed the data and created a list of the 10 best lease, financing and cash back deals available this month. Of the 10 best deals, nine are available for 2017 models and one is pushing 2016 models.

Jack Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst at KBB, said:

For shoppers who want to acquire a new vehicle before Memorial Day and the summer travel season, this month’s list offers excellent deals on a variety of luxury and non-luxury models. The number one spot on the list showcases one of the best-selling compact SUVs on the market, the Nissan Rogue, and the list also includes other crossovers plus sedans and even a well-regarded minivan.
