Polestar Models Top The List Of 40 Richest New-Car Rebates With Up To $25,000 Cash Back

Polestar is topping the most valuable U.S. cash-back incentives list for new cars, with offers up to $25,000, according to Kelley Blue Book reporting cited in the article. The electric-car subsidiary of Volvo is phasing out its U.S. operations after the 2027 model year amid upcoming import blocks on connected-vehicle technology linked to China or Russia. Polestar announced cash rebates as large as $25,000 on the Polestar 4 and $23,000 on the Polestar 3, which the article says effectively cuts the Polestar 4 by about 45%. It notes the Polestar 4 starts at $56,000, and after the rebate the price drops to around $31,400. By comparison, U.S. sales incentives averaging 7% of transaction prices and 14% for EVs reflect broader market discounting. Dodge also revived its Power Dollars program, offering $10 per horsepower on Charger models, translating to $4,200–$5,500 cash back depending on tune and trim. The article adds that incentives come from the automaker and do not include dealer discounts.
