Volvo’s electric-vehicle subsidiary Polestar has announced a special offer that temporarily drops the lease price on the 2024 Polestar 2 electric hatchback to just $299 per month for 27 months. The deal applies to dual-motor variants and runs now through the end of May. (Technically, the offer is on Long Range Dual Motor Polestar 2s, but that phrase is marketing smoke and mirrors. There is only one battery pack available for the all-wheel-drive variants.)

Buick put itself into a situation that almost certainly confused some buyers when it introduced the Encore GX. At the time, it was still selling the older, smaller, cheaper — and cheaper feeling — Encore (sans GX suffix), which was a completely different vehicle. But Buick ditched the plain Encore after the 2022 model year, and the Encore GX got a face-lift for 2024. For 2025, the Encore GX’s pricing is up just $400 from the 2024 model’s numbers for the base and Sport Touring trims, while the range-topping Avenir is actually $400 cheaper.

Bentley is saying cheerio to its long-serving V-8, celebrating the engine with a series of Edition 8 packages available on the Continental GT coupe, Continental GTC convertible and Flying Spur sedan.

The Lincoln Aviator got a major interior upgrade for the 2025 model year along with a minor exterior rework. New materials and finishes lend Lincoln’s version of the Ford Explorer an appropriately upmarket look, but the big news is in the standard tech, which is reflected in the pricing that jumps more than $5,000 from the 2024 model.
