The best car for students; An economic option that has become a dream

There is no doubt that the economic conditions of each country affect the possible options. Currently, the price of cars in Iran has increased in such a way that it is not possible for most students to buy even the most economical models.

Recently, the American website KBB, which is very famous in the field of providing advice for cars, has introduced the best car models for students in 2025. For their choice, they have paid attention to the price of the car, insurance cost, fuel consumption, amount of monthly installments (if they get a loan), safety and related technologies. Finally, they considered the price ceiling of 30 thousand dollars.

The KBB website believes that the 2025 Toyota Corolla is the best car for students. This car has a low cost due to its high build quality and has performed very well in safety tests. Of course, Corolla LE is considered to be the cheapest Toyota car in 2025. The base price of this model is $22,325, which comes to $23,500 with shipping and handling costs.

In exchange for paying this amount, you will receive a sedan car with a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine. An engine that can produce a maximum power of 169 horsepower. This power is also transmitted to the front wheels through the CVT gearbox. The fuel consumption of the best car for students on the highway is 5.7 liters per 100 km.
