Offering something for everyone, the Silverado is available two- or four-wheel drive; with regular, double, and crew cab configurations; a selection of 4.3-liter V-6, 5.3-liter V-8, and 6.2-liter V-8 engines; and with a choice of three pick-up box sizes (5.8-, 6.6-, or 8-foot lengths).

2014 GMC Yukon XL: $4,500 customer cash Expires: 1/2/2015 Powered by a 325-horsepower/5.3-liter V-8 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, the 2014 GMC Yukon XL represents the best of GMC performance, technology, and style. The XL version of GM’s three-row, nine-passenger two-wheel-drive SUV is 14 inches longer than the standard model, and boasts a maximum cargo capacity of up to 137.4 cubic feet. Fuel economy is rated at 16 mpg city, 23 highway, and 15.9 combined. Customer cash of $4,500 takes a good chunk off its $50,885 starting MSRP.

2015 Hyundai Sonata: $2,000 customer cash Expires: 1/2/2015 Now in its seventh generation, the all-new front-wheel-drive 2015 Hyundai Sonata boasts a more refined look, a spacious interior, and high-tech safety and convenience features. Buyers can choose between 185-hp/2.4-liter or 245-hp/2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, both paired with a six-speed automatic transmission; fuel economy is rated as high as 25/37/29 mpg city/highway/combined for the SE model. The nicely equipped 2015 Hyundai Sonata, starting at $21,960, promises great value and highly desired features, but is even more affordable during December thanks to a $2,000 customer cash incentive.

2014 Mazda CX-9: $4,000 customer cash Expires: 1/5/2015 Refreshed just last year, the three-row, seven-passenger 2014 Mazda CX-9 is the largest utility vehicle in Mazda’s lineup, but it still boasts Mazda’s “Zoom-Zoom” performance. Under the hood, the CX-9 is driven by a 273-horsepower/3.7-liter V-6 engine promising 17 city/24 highway miles per gallon (front-wheel-drive models) or 16 city/22 highway mpg (with AWD powertrain). Its dramatic yet refined design might feel expensive, but its $30,815 MSRP and $4,000 customer cash make Mazda’s flagship midsize sport/utility vehicle easy on your wallet.

2015 Mercedes Benz C-Class Sedan: $2,000 customer cash Expires: 12/31/2014 If you’re searching for an uber-luxurious European lease experience, look no further than the all-new 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which wraps four sport seats in a sleek sedan body style. Performance comes from your choice of 241-horsepower/2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine or 329-hp/3.0-liter naturally aspirated V-6 engine; both are mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. The top-selling model from Mercedes-Benz, sales of the preceding C-Class total over 2.4 million worldwide since its launch in 2007; $2,000 customer cash will only add to this new model’s popularity.
