Q: Should I buy a 2026 model now or wait for the 2027 redesign?

This is one of the most common questions we hear.

The answer depends on your priorities.

Buy a 2026 If You Want:

• Current manufacturer incentives
• Excellent financing offers
• Greater inventory selection
• Immediate availability
• Proven technology and features

Today’s vehicles are exceptionally well equipped with advanced safety systems, large touchscreen displays, wireless smartphone integration and available premium luxury features.

Wait for 2027 If You Want:

If a significant redesign or new technology has been announced for a particular model you’re interested in, waiting may make sense if you are not in immediate need of a vehicle.

Keep in mind that newly redesigned vehicles often:

• Have fewer incentives initially
• May have limited availability
• Can command higher prices during launch
