DEALS OF THE WEEK

These new 2019 models won't make their way to dealerships until the latter half of the year. Until then, consumers can land major savings on their 2018 counterparts

Auto show season is always a key platform for auto makers to showcase their latest innovations and unveil new models and redesigns. Recent shows in Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City and Calgary have not disappointed in this regard.

SUVs, crossovers and pickup trucks have been the centre of attention so far this year with the debuts of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, the Hyundai Kona and the Volvo XC40 compact crossovers, the reintroduction of the Ford Ranger compact pickup truck after an eight-year hiatus, and the launch of notable redesigns including the Ram 1500, the Ford Edge and the Chevrolet Silverado.

While all these new 2019 models will offer consumers upgraded technology and refreshed looks, most won't make their way to dealerships until the latter half of the year. However, many of their existing 2018 counterparts carry attractive incentives, making it an ideal time for consumers looking for outsized savings.

We've featured some of our favourite offers this week on soon-to-be redesigned vehicles. If you don't find an offer that suits you, be sure to check out the new Globe Drive Build and Price Tool to see the latest incentives and discounts on any new car, truck or SUV.
