The average price that people in the country have had to pay for a new vehicle is about $35,000 and as many eyebrows as this number will raise, what is worse is the prices show no signs of coming down. while the world seems to be moving towards newer heights in technology, the state of one’s finances aren’t moving fast enough to keep up and very few people can afford even a bottom-level luxury car. Hence, people looking for cheaper options have a really hard time. There is always the used car market, but that has its own risks and problems.

In a scenario like this, what is one to do? Luckily, there is a long list of cars launched recently that range from highly expensive to fairly cheap. To help you choose the right car, here is a list of affordable car options that you can buy in 2019. All of the cars mentioned in the list below are approximately half as expensive compared to the average car transaction price in America. Keep in mind that “cheaper” does not necessarily translate to “features missing.” Without further ado, here are the top affordable 2019 cars:

1. 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage ES
This 2019 car is essentially a hatchback iteration of the Mirage G4 sedan. Moreover, it costs $1,000 less but follows the same equipment for the 2019 model. It offers a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat, chrome accented HVAC panel, and cruise control. Mitsubishi has shown remarkable consistency in providing equipment and facilities to the Mirage and there are two drivetrain variants available. One advantage that the hatchback version offers is that it looks much better.

2. 2019 Chevrolet Spark
Another hatchback reiteration in this list comes from Chevrolet. The 2019 Chevrolet Spark comes with a new look towards the front end along with some additional features. While the changes made in the new version raise the price, they add extra features like daylight running lamps even in the base model. Another additional feature of the 2019 Chevrolet Spark is the 15-inch aluminum wheels. This addition to 2019 cars offers one thing above all: great value. Its wide range of interior features covers a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto™ integration, Apple CarPlay™, two USB ports, and 10 airbags. When talking about performance, it has a 98-hp four-cylinder engine combined with a five-speed manual transmission.

3. 2019 Nissan Versa
The 2019 Nissan Versa sedan takes the top spot on this list as America’s most affordable cars. The starting price for this subcompact 2019 car is pretty affordable and it is touted as a simple, comfortable, reliable mode of transport. A new addition to the standard features is a backup camera. Other standard features include Bluetooth® connectable 7.0-inch touchscreen. The trunk and the backseat are top-notch in terms of size. In terms of performance, the 2019 Nissan Versa has a five-speed manual transmission. The transmission pairs seamlessly with a 109-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. While the car does not offer luxury interior features like a center armrest, it makes up for it by offering great overall performance.
