What are new car financing rates today?

New car financing rates today typically range from 4% to 10% for buyers with good to fair credit, though rates change daily based on the prime rate, lender competition, and your personal credit profile. If you have excellent credit (750+), you might see rates closer to 3.5% to 5.5%. Buyers with challenged credit often see rates in the 8% to 15% range, depending on how recent negative marks are and which lenders are willing to work with your situation. The actual rate you qualify for depends more on your credit score, income, down payment, and the specific lender than on the calendar date. Lenders price risk differently. A bank might offer 5.2% while a credit union offers 4.8% for the same buyer, and a subprime lender might offer 12% but approve someone a traditional lender won't touch. The "today's rate" you see advertised is usually a teaser for their best-case borrower, not what most people actually get. Your rate also locks in based on the term you choose—a 36-month loan typically has a lower rate than a 72-month loan from the same lender. If you're shopping for a new car and want to know what rate you'd actually qualify for, the fastest way is a pre-qualification.
