[00:00:12]Ultra budget-friendly vehicles such as the Nissan Versa and the Mitsubishi Mirage are disappearing. This means entry-level prices are climbing rather quickly. Here are the five most affordable new vehicles you can buy in 2026 based on current MSRP data. And we're going to start with the most expensive and work our way down to the least expensive. In the number five spot is the 2026 Toyota Corolla. Its price is $23,125.

[00:00:44]That's your entry-level pricing. It offers outstanding reliability and great resale value. In the number four spot is the 2026 Hyundai Elantra. The base price is $22,625.

[00:00:58]It offers excellent MPG's and an upscale interior feel. The Nissan Sentra comes in at number three with a base price of $22,600 and it has a comfortable ride with strong fuel economy. In the number two spot is the Kia K4. Its base price $22,290.

[00:01:22]This is the replacement for the Kia Forte with more technology and space.

[00:01:28]The number one vehicle, the least expensive that you can currently buy in the United States of America is the 2026 Hyundai Venue with a base price of $20,550.

And those are the five most least expensive vehicles you can buy as of May of 2026 in the United States of America. Tell me what you're looking for and what you plan to buy, maybe what you plan to spend. I know there's not a lot of great options out there as the average new vehicle price is currently a little over $50,000.
