If you’re ready to spend $20,000 on a single vehicle, it is enough for some considerable choice. For such a sum, you can get an affordable SUV or even a ‘sporty car’ (unfortunately, all real sports cars cost more than $20,000).

We’ve already made the list of the best new car deals under $15,000, so this time, we will concentrate on the deals between $15,000 and $20,000.

Kia Soul

Starting from the $15,000 mark, our first stop would be the Kia Soul. It is a popular city SUV, sometimes considered as a station wagon, with nice controls and good look. Nothing exceptional, but still quite an interesting choice for the price.

Chevrolet Cruze

This rating would be incomplete without the Chevy Cruze, one of the best compact cars on the market. It is innovative, fuel-effective, and reasonably priced.

Hyundai Elantra

The 2017 Hyundai Elantra is not the cheapest Hyundai sedan you can buy. It is priced higher than the Hyundai Accent and offers more than its previous incarnation (offers better according to Hyundai PR-managers).

Ford Focus

Ford Focus is the next step from the Ford Fiesta towards bigger and fancier cars, either sedans or hatchbacks.

Toyota Corolla

One of the best-selling nameplates of all time, the Toyota Corolla still rules the market in North America and in the world as a whole. It is in the eleventh generation now.

Volkswagen Jetta

The entry-level Volkswagen Jetta has many innovative features, but, unfortunately, many of them are available only in high-priced trims. Without them, the car is simple enough, yet pretty good on the road.

Jeep Renegade

The Renegade of Jeeps (the nameplate is self-ironic, don’t you think?) is one of the cheapest and smallest SUVs in the automotive history. And still, it is better in many aspects than its closest ‘brothers’ – the Jeep Compass and the Jeep Patriot.

Subaru Impreza

The Subaru Impreza is the entry-point for sporty cars with the dedication to speed and driving experience. It also serves well as a family car.

Honda Civic

The Honda Civic is the only coupe that is inexpensive enough to be in the list. It is very good-looking, even stylish. Another great characteristic is the pricing of top-level trims. The most expensive trim is Touring featuring Push Button Start, Power Moonroof, Remote Engine Start, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Dual-Zone Auto Climate Control, Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror, Honda LaneWatch and much more, and it costs only $26,125.

Mazda CX-3

The Mazda CX-3 stands out as one of the cheapest SUVs, next to the Kia Soul and the Jeep Renegade. It may be tiny, but it is capable of much. We even listed it in our Best Small SUVs on the Market post.
