Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer, and summer is arguably the best time for an ambitious family road trip or the off-road adventure of your dreams. Thankfully, the folks at Intellichoice—which is part of the MotorTrend Group—have shared with us the best SUV deals on offer this Memorial Day weekend so we can pass them on to you.
More Memorial Day new car deals:
2020 Buick Encore
The Encore has been a huge success for Buick since its launch in 2012 and right now you can pick one up in the Preferred trim with a $4,500 discount. In terms of percentage of its base price, this is one of the best deals on a new SUV you'll find this weekend. It's a comfortable, quiet cruiser of a subcompact premium SUV and although material choices on lower-trim examples leave something to be desired, with that rebate you could afford to climb the trim ladder (or upgrade to a model with AWD). Like the other deals in this story, this one is good through June 1.
2020 Chevrolet Equinox
The Equinox is Chevrolet's best seller aside from the Silverado pickup and for memorial day, it's on offer with a rebate of $4,750, with the exception of the base model. The Equinox may attract buyers with its intuitive infotainment system and loads of interior space. Although there's room for improvement in terms of its road manners and noisy cabin, a stack of cash definitely sweetens the deal.
2020 Acura MDX
Acura is offering big money on the midsize MDX; $5,000 off all but the hand-built MDX PMC Edition. That rebate covers hybrid and non-hybrid models as well as FWD and AWD; we've been impressed by the current model's SH-AWD system on and off-road. We don't love its button-crowded center console and yes, there's a new one coming soon, but $5,000 on the hood of a solid midsize luxury SUV makes it more worthy of your attention.
2020 Dodge Durango
The second-gen Durango is somehow still on sale (it launched in 2010) and Dodge is offering a $3,600 rebate on eight-cylinder R/T models for Memorial Day weekend, or $2,950 on other trims. And if you've got your heart set on the 475-hp Durango SRT, the rebate amounts to $4,750. It's as old-school as you'd expect (with limited active safety tech), but the Dodge is a comparatively great handler and has muscle-car-on-stilts energy in spades. Add to that a $3,600 or $4,750 rebate and you can sign us up.
2020 Kia Sportage
Kia is offering $2,000 in rebates on its Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4-fighting Sportage for Memorial Day weekend. It's an attractive, feature-filled package that offers great value even before incentives like these. Watch out for the floaty suspension and tight cabin, but this could be a great buy if those don't bother you.
2020 Jeep Renegade
The littlest Jeep boasts a healthy rebate for the holiday—$2,750 off all trims including the capable Renegade Trailhawk. It nails the cute-ute styling and its infotainment system is one of the more intuitive on the market. The underpowered drivetrain and unimpressive road manners will steer some folks away but if you've decided this is the summer you buy a Jeep, the Renegade could be an option.
2020 Cadillac Escalade
With the next-gen Escalade right around the corner, it's no surprise Cadillac is offering great deals on the outgoing model, but a $9,000 rebate is no joke. The CUE infotainment system could be improved and fuel economy is unimpressive, but if you're after the swagger and style of an Escalade, it's hard to beat a 10-percent discount on Cadillac's bonafide status symbol.
2020 Jaguar I-Pace
If it's an electric SUV you're after this weekend, now would be the time to ring up your local Jaguar dealer to chat about the $5,000 rebate Jag is offering on its I-Pace EV. It's a fabulous example of how eco-minded vehicles need not be bound by alien styling—looking at you, Toyota—and its driving experience is a great one. It's even decent off-road. With 234 miles of range it falls behind the segment leaders, but few electric cars can match the appeal of this Jag.
