Inexpensive new cars are rare, but these models still start under $25,000

The average new car price in the US exceeds $50,000, with only 11 models starting below $25,000 before fees. Affordable options like the Hyundai Venue ($20,550) and Chevy Trax ($21,700) remain available, but lower-priced vehicles are becoming increasingly scarce due to rising prices and incentives.
