There’s no beating around the bush these days. Buying a new car can make for an expensive endeavor. In fact, according to Car and Driver, brands like Ford reported an average transaction price of $43,600 in April. There’s no denying that’s a decent chunk of change. The good news is you don’t have to spend all of your hard-earned money on a new car. In fact, the following are some of the best affordable new cars under $30,000, TrueCar reports.

Hyundai and Toyota are well-known for making some of the best new cars out there. They’re also known for making some of the most affordable new cars. It should come as no surprise then that cars like the 2021 Hyundai Elantra were included in TrueCar’s list of the best new cars under $30,000. Starting at $19,650, this year’s new Hyundai Elantra is an excellent choice for compact sedan shoppers, TrueCar reports.

The Elantra isn’t the only new Hyundai to have made the list. TrueCar also included the 2021 Hyundai Sonata and the 2021 Hyundai Ioniq. While the 2021 Hyundai Sonata starts at $23,950, the 2021 Hyundai Ioniq boasts a base MSRP of $23,400. According to TrueCar, between their affordable starting price and extensive warranty, these cheap new cars offer an incredible value.

Perhaps you would prefer a new Kia instead. The good news is that TrueCar included two new Kia models in its list of the best new cars under $30,000. First, let’s talk about the 2021 Kia K5. This affordable new sedan starts at $23,590.
