Loan terms typically range from 24 to 84 months (2-7 years), with 60-72 months being common for new cars.

Longer terms (like 72 or 84 months) lower your monthly payment, making the car more affordable upfront. The trade-off? You pay more total interest over time.

Shorter terms (like 36-48 months) mean higher monthly payments but less interest overall and faster ownership.

Your best term depends on your budget, credit profile, and how long you plan to keep the vehicle. A longer term gives breathing room; a shorter one saves money.
