Top new cars for under $20,000

Most new cars are quite costly, but there are still some new models out there for the budget-conscious that are reliable, comfortable, and equipped with the latest industry innovations. Hereunder are three of the most recommended new car options for below $20,000.

Kia Soul</>: First on the list is the Kia Soul, which is a good combo of simple yet classy. It is one of the least expensive new car options in the market, starting at little less than $17,000. Storage space is great, especially as its rear seats can be folded down for 50 cubic feet more wiggle room. Gas mileage is good, too. The Soul is your best bang-for-the-buck, environment-friendly option.

Honda Civic: Whether you prefer the coupe, hatchback, or sedan type, the Civic is one of the most popular cars for everyday use in the U.S. Most Civics start at $18,740, which is an outright awesome deal for a car that only does 28mpg/city and 40mpg on highways.

Jeep Patriot Sport: If you are on the lookout for an SUV, the Patriot Sport is the best off-road vehicle within the $20K range, starting at $18,040. It boasts of Jeep’s renowned huge storage space and reliability. Moreover, if you have the credit to qualify, the company offers 0 percent APR financing for 72 months.
