The cheapest quality sedan cars in 2024
In the following, in the order of the price chart from top to bottom, we will introduce 10 cheap sedans in the world market with internal combustion engines.
10. Mazda 3 – Price: 25 thousand 335 dollars
The new Mazda 3, which is very close to the Mazda 6 in terms of design, is one step higher than its competitors in terms of exterior beauty, and attractive handling and two good engines are consistent with this beautiful appearance. This version uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a power of 191 horsepower and a torque of 252 Nm. But for those who want more power, it will be possible to choose the 250 horsepower turbo version with four-wheel drive system, which is not included in this list due to the high price of 25,000 dollars. Although the base price of the Mazda 3 is more expensive than the cheapest sedans on the market, despite the compact rear row seats, it is considered a truly luxurious compact car in terms of comfort and overall feel.
9. Honda Civic – Price: 25 thousand dollars
Honda Civic is a famous and reliable name in the compact sedan segment. This car is also available in the hatchback version, which is one of the best-selling cars in the American market. The basic type of this car is a simple but practical choice, which is supplied with a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower and 187 Nm of torque. Driving dynamics are also good in all versions of the Civic, which makes the Honda sedan a benchmark among compact cars. Also, unlike many other compact cars in the market, the Civic offers adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking as standard, which is a high score for a Japanese economy car.
8. Toyota Corolla – Price: 23 thousand 145 dollars
Although the Corolla lacks the attractive driving dynamics of the Civic in the lower trims, it will be on par with the Honda in terms of fuel consumption and price with a slight advantage in power and torque. Toyota also has a bolder exterior design; Although it is placed behind the Civic in terms of interior space. Those who want lower fuel consumption can choose Corolla Hybrid; While the GR version of the Corolla offers excellent performance. The basic version of this car uses a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine with a power of 158 horsepower and a torque of 250 Nm.
7. Volkswagen Jetta – Price: 22 thousand 660 dollars
Volkswagen Jetta is not a very interesting option in this class, except for the GLI sports version. The design of the car is quite simple, the cabin is cheaper than its price and the ride is very dry. Other cars in this class use their relatively light weight to provide engaging handling, but the Jetta's lackluster steering undermines any thrilling experience. Of course, the Volkswagen sedan is also offered with a manual transmission, and in the higher versions, it benefits from a good technology upgrade; But it would be difficult to recommend buying a Jetta (except for the GLI version, which somewhat solves the handling problems) at any price. This car is also equipped with a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine with 158 horsepower and 250 Nm torque.
6. Hyundai Elantra – Price: 22 thousand 590 Dollar
Elantra, which has the ability to compete with Corolla and Civic at a lower price, has been considered one of the acceptable options in the market for years; But Hyundai has significantly improved this car in the seventh generation. Additionally, the 2024 Elantra gets a new nose design, standard side airbags, and new colors for the interior and exterior. Although the base version of the Elantra is not comparable to the Civic in terms of handling and will not be as reliable as the Corolla, it offers a more spacious cabin thanks to the smart design and positioning. Elantra, which is a comfortable and technologically equipped car as a standard, is a very convincing option in this class. In the technical department, we see a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine with a power of 147 horsepower and a torque of 180 Nm on the new Elantra.
5. Nissan Sentra – Price: 21 thousand and 905 Dollar
The exterior design and interior materials of the Sentra show something beyond its price, and its interior comfort is also extended to the good ride quality of the car. The Sentra's cabin isn't bad, but it feels weaker than the competition, and on the highway it displays a good fuel consumption of 6 liters per hundred kilometers. But the big problem with the Nissan sedan is under the hood; That is, a place where, although the engine provides good traction, it will lack an enjoyable experience. The 2-liter 4-cylinder engine with 149 horsepower and 198 Nm torque is the technical characteristic of this Nissan economy car.
4. Kia Cerato – Price: 21 thousand and 145 Dollar
Compact cars are usually cheap, but the Cerato is one of the cheapest compact cars. The car gets reasonable fuel economy, but apart from the attractive GT version, everything seems boring in the Cerato. Other compact cars in the market, led by Mazda 3, offer an amazing driving experience; But Serato feels as low level as its price. Although Cerato has a simple cabin, a weak engine and lower handling than its competitors, it beats them all in terms of price. Cerato 2024 is available in the basic version with a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine with a power of 147 horsepower and a torque of 180 Nm.
3. Mitsubishi Mirage – Price: 19 thousand dollars
Mitsubishi Mirage subcompact car is actually very small. In 2024, there are only three cars in this dying class in the US market, one of which is the cheap Mirage. However, unfortunately, the Mirage is much less comfortable and efficient than its competitors in this class. Fuel consumption of only 5.5 liters per hundred kilometers on the highway will be the winning card of this small Japanese sedan. Mirage's weak engine with a volume of 1.2 liters and 3 cylinders is capable of producing 78 horsepower and 100 Nm of torque.
2. Kia Rio – Price: 19 thousand dollars
Although the Rio will soon be phased out of the US market, it's still a great option for those looking for an affordable zero-mile car. Unlike the Mirage, the Rio offers good ride quality and impressive handling along with its low price. This car is equipped with a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with a power of 120 horsepower and a torque of 152 Nm. The information and entertainment system of this car is better than its competitors with a standard 8-inch touch screen and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Rio's engine is certainly not as powerful as the engine of compact models, but it has enough power to accelerate the car from zero to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds. Rio is considered a good option in the price range under $20,000, even with its weaknesses such as the small trunk and vague steering wheel.
1. Nissan Versa – Price: 17 thousand 405 Dollar
The cheapest internal combustion model in the sedan car market that can be bought in the US market right now is the Nissan Versa. This car is equipped with a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with a power of 122 horsepower and a torque of 154 Nm. This car also offers the largest trunk in its class and is very safe with lane departure warning radar and automatic emergency braking as standard. However, those who want better fuel economy must order the CVT transmission, which adds $1,700 to the car's price. Also, regardless of the gearbox, the acceleration of the Sentra is low even for this class.
