Still America’s cheapest new car at $20,130 — 4 wheels, AC, and a warranty. No thrills, but it beats begging your cousin for rides (last chance before it’s gone!).
At $22,730, you get a fuel-sipping sedan with Safety Shield 360. It's simple, reliable, and doesn’t ask for much — like your ideal roommate, but a car.
The K4 lands at $23,165 with LED lights, keyless start, and a massive 12.3" screen. Fresh redesign, budget price — basically Gen Z’s first grown-up car.
Coming in at $23,370, the Elantra gives you wireless CarPlay, LED lamps, and sharp angles for days. Slightly weird looks, but serious value inside.
For $23,545, you get the most "I’ll never die" car ever. It’s basic, yes — but with Safety Sense 3.0 and Toyota’s rep, it’s still the safe bet.
At $23,720, the Jetta gives you a turbo engine, VW Digital Cockpit, and decent flair. Basically Euro-feels on a budget (until you need a part).
Priced at $25,335, it’s the best-driving budget car out there. Sleek looks, 191 hp, rain-sensing wipers — you almost forget it’s in the “cheap” list.
AWD for $25,530? Yep, the Impreza is the winter-ready hatchback you need when SUVs aren’t your vibe. Practical, safe, and ready for real life.
The Civic starts at $25,745 and still does everything right — comfort, safety, tech. No more manual in base trims, but still the people’s champ sedan.
One of the last mid-size sedans, the Malibu starts at $26,995. It’s roomy, smooth, and discontinued — which means dealers might deal hard.
