What does $25,000 or less get you in a new vehicle?

Sometimes while strolling along Huntington Beach, it feels like you are living the dream. However, while creating a responsible budget for your next new car, you know you need to find a ride for under $25,000. Does this mean you will be giving up comfort and fun tech toys? Not at all. There is a good variety of new vehicles available in that price range, and many of them come loaded with a wealth of premium features.

Do you get safety features?

Most new cars include a wide array of safety features, highlighted by autonomous emergency braking. The 2024 Subaru Impreza comes with smart cruise control and lane departure warnings. Intelligent high beams found on the 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer automatically adjust to city lights and switch to low for oncoming traffic.

Is there smart technology that supports your phone?

Yes, you will be able to access your playlists, contacts, mapping app, and messages in your new ride. Place a hands-free call using Bluetooth technology. Plug in to the USB port or look for wireless Android and Apple infotainment systems found in the 2025 Hyundai Elantra and the 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback.

What about climate controls to keep you cool?

Now you can look forward to sliding behind the wheel of your machine and skip setting the air conditioning after pressing start. Automatic climate control found in the 2025 Honda HR-V and the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta, remembers your preferred temperature and adjusts the fans and cooling system for your comfort.

Is there room for friends and supplies?

There is no need to leave behind your extra bag or the large cooler while still making an affordable payment for your new ride. The 2025 Kia Soul delivers striking style and 62.1 cubic feet of space for sports gear, music instruments, and an epic shopping spree.

Even the 2025 Mazda3 Hatchback offers 20.1 cubic feet of space behind the rear row, which is much more compared to the trunk of an average midsize sedan offering 14 to 16 cubic feet. Meanwhile, there is still seating for up to 5 in all of these rides.

Versatile SUVs, Sleek Sedans, or Capable Pickups

Finally, while you are hunting for a new car that works with your budget, there is no need to settle for a particular style of vehicle. The 2024 Ford Maverick arrives as a mid-size pickup with a spacious bed for your tools and supplies. The 2025 Nissan Versa sedan easily slips into small parking spaces, and the 2025 Chevrolet Trax offers a compact SUV to dazzle your friends.

What about a hybrid that fits into my budget?

Yes, you can even save big at the pumps and still spend less than $25,000! The 2025 Corolla Hybrid can deliver an EPA-estimated 53 mpg city. If you expand your budget up to $30,000, your choices for a hybrid expand to include the Toyota Prius, Kia Niro, and the Honda Civic.
