10 New Vehicles That Are Cheaper Than You Think
2021 Acura ILX – MSRP of $30,805
While the TLX and RDX (a compact sedan and SUV, respectively) are now priced just shy of $45,000, the small ILX barely tops $30,000. Sure, there are more modern and sophisticated options in the segment, but it’s still a good-looking, efficient and fun-to-drive car.
2021 Cadillac CT5 – MSRP of $40,098
With the elimination of the full-size CT6, the CT5 is now the largest sedan in the Cadillac lineup. It offers a much sportier driving experience than what we are used to from this traditionally comfort-oriented luxury brand. The interior is superbly appointed, too. While most rivals largely exceed $40,000, this premium compact sedan is quite reasonably priced.
2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV – MSRP of $38,198
The freshly launched 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV has received a notable update, yet GM slashed the price by $6,800. It now carries a base MSRP of $38,198. And don’t forget the federal rebate of $5,000 and provincial incentives ranging from $3,000-$8,000. Pretty cheap for an electric car with 417 km of range.
2021 Chevrolet Camaro – MSRP of $29,598
The Camaro is attracting much fewer fans than before and facing an uncertain future. But unlike the Mustang and Challenger, this muscle car starts at just under $30,000. Remember that.
2022 Infiniti QX60 – MSRP of $54,995
We’ve included the 2022 Infiniti QX60 even though it will arrive in dealerships later this year. Completely redesigned, this three-row luxury SUV looks sleek and costs a lot less money than German, Swedish and even Korean rivals (Genesis GV80). Don’t forget the Acura MDX, which is also new for 2022 and priced from $56,405.
2022 Ford Maverick – MSRP of $25,900
Modern pickups are all priced way above $30,000… but not the all-new 2022 Maverick (28 cm shorter than the Ranger), which has a base MSRP of just $25,900 and comes with a hybrid powertrain on top of that. It’s no wonder Ford has already received over 100,000 reservations.
2022 Hyundai Elantra – MSRP of $17,999
Despite the elimination of the Accent and Elantra GT, Hyundai continues to offer highly affordable vehicles. Completely redesigned for 2021, the Elantra compact sedan returns for 2022 with a minor hike yet remains just under $18,000 in base trim. Quite a gap with the new 2022 Honda Civic starting at $24,465...
2022 Hyundai Tucson – MSRP of $27,799
It’s getting harder and harder to find compact SUVs under $30,000, but the brand new 2022 Tucson can be had from just $27,799 in FWD configuration and $29,799 with AWD.
2022 Kia Carnival – MSRP of $34,795
Replacing the Sedona, the all-new 2022 Carnival starts at $34,795, which is just $800 above the redesigned 2021 Sorento, another three-row Kia (with much less interior space, of course). Every other minivan out there is more expensive, including the value-focused Grand Caravan ($37,995) that’s now sold as a Chrysler.
2021 Subaru Impreza – MSRP of $19,995
The Impreza is still the cheapest AWD vehicle in Canada and still priced from under $20,000, incredibly. Thank you very much for that, Subaru. Customers should hurry to find a 2021 model, though, because the base MSRP for 2022 is increased to $21,995.
