US New Car Prices Cross $50K as EV Costs Dip to Smallest Gap Yet

The average price for a new vehicle in the US surpassed $50,000 in August 2026, reaching $50,089, while the average electric vehicle (EV) price fell to $54,813. This marks the first time the industry average has exceeded the $50K threshold this year, yet the price gap between EVs and conventional vehicles has narrowed to its smallest level in over a year. Although overall car prices are rising due to fewer incentives and a shift toward larger vehicles, EV costs are declining relative to the broader market, with the premium over non-EV cars dropping to 9.4% from 16% a year ago.

CarMax Offers $76,000 for Rare Green-Wrapped Cybertruck, Surprising Utah Owner

A Utah man brought a forest-green wrapped Tesla Cybertruck with 3,000 miles to CarMax for an appraisal, expecting a high offer due to the vehicle's rarity. He received a $76,000 offer, which he found surprisingly low compared to rumors of $125,000 offers. However, current Kelley Blue Book data suggests this offer was actually strong, as private-party values for similar trucks have since dropped to around $75,750.

Five-Year Depreciation Leaves Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Near $43k Used Price

Kelley Blue Book data show the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has depreciated about 44% over five years, bringing its current resale around $43,000. By comparison, the BMW M3 retains about 83% of its value (roughly $58,600), while the Mercedes‑AMG C63 sedan sits at about 41% loss (~$41,400). Despite reliability concerns, used examples remain desirable and prices have inched up in early 2026; the Quadrifoglio was discontinued in the U.S. in 2024, yet demand persists.
