October 11th, 2024
Cheapest subcompact SUVs

- $21,295

2024 Hyundai Venue
At this low price point, some car-based crossovers don't offer all-wheel drive like traditional SUVs. The Hyundai Venue, a small and boxy subcompact SUV, is one of these vehicles and is only available with front-wheel drive. The base SE model starts at just… over $20,000 and, similar to other cars in this price range, it has cloth seats. (Synthetic leather is available.) The cheapest model also has an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and lane keeping assistance, all tremendous standard features.- Starting price (includes destination):
- $21,315
- Fuel economy:
- up to 30 mpg combined
2024 Kia Soul
Some shoppers might have mixed feelings about the Kia Soul's unconventional styling and still remember the energetic Hamster commercials from a few years ago. Still, it's a fun-to-drive small crossover with plenty of interior space that starts at around… $20,000. At that price, the base model has similar standard features to the Hyundai Venue, including an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and remote keyless entry.- Starting price (includes destination):
- $21,495
- Fuel economy:
- up to 30 mpg combined
2024 Chevrolet Trax
Chevrolet's smallest crossover is all-new for the 2024 model year, and it's one of the top choices in the small SUV category. The new model is larger than its predecessor, offering more cargo space. All Trax models come with front-wheel drive and are equipped… with standard Chevy Safety Assist, which includes safety features such as forward collision warning and lane keeping assistance.

Cheapest compact SUVs
- Starting price (includes destination):
- $27,840
- Fuel economy:
- up to 26 mpg combined
2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
While the crowded compact class has far better options, the Eclipse Cross can be a compelling choice if you're on a budget. It's smaller than Mitsubishi's three-row Outlander but larger and more expensive than the Outlander Sport. Both front- and all-wheel… drive are available, and standard features include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a hands-free power liftgate and adaptive cruise control.- Starting price (includes destination):
- $28,415
- Fuel economy:
- 28 mpg combined
2024 Kia Sportage
Kia's lineup is full of sharp SUVs, and the Sportage is smaller than the popular three-row Telluride and Sorento. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid options are available, but the cheapest option doesn't use either powertrain and starts under $30,000. Both front- and… all-wheel drive models are available, and the Sportage has plenty of room inside for passengers and cargo.- Starting price (includes destination):
- $29,995
- Fuel economy:
- up to 27 mpg combined
2024 Jeep Compass
At just under $30,000, the Jeep Compass is also one of the cheaper compact SUVs available today. It's a Jeep, so it comes standard with all-wheel drive. It also has ample interior space and is powered by a relatively powerful engine with adequate fuel economy.… Yet regarding its overall value, the Compass might not be as competitive as other options in its class.Compare Compact SUVs

Cheapest midsize SUVs
- Starting price (includes destination):
- $29,890
- Fuel economy:
- 27 mpg combined
2024 Mitsubishi Outlander
Mitsubishi crossover SUVs can be affordable, but like the Eclipse Cross, there are better midsize options to consider before checking out the Outlander. It's larger than the subcompact Outlander Sport and shares a platform with the Nissan Rogue but has the… advantage of offering a third row of seats. While adults may find the Outlander's third row cramped, it's suitable for ferrying younger kids. Additionally, a plug-in hybrid Outlander is available, but it comes at a higher price compared to the base models with either available gas engine.- Starting price (includes destination):
- $30,240
- Fuel economy:
- up to 28 mpg combined
2024 Subaru Outback
The Subaru Outback combines the low profile of a station wagon with an SUV's ground clearance, more comortable ride and all-weather capabilities. There's less cargo room than an SUV because of the low roofline, but it makes loading cargo on top of the Outback… or in the trunk easy. All models have all-wheel drive and nearly 9 inches of ground clearance, so if you do have to venture on uneven terrain, you'll have a bit more capability than other crossovers.- Starting price (includes destination):
- $33,365
- Fuel economy:
- 26 mpg combined
2024 Kia Sorento
The Sorento is Kia's second-largest crossover, behind the Telluride. It also has three rows of seats but in a slightly smaller and cheaper package. For the 2024 model year, Kia updated the in-cabin tech with new touchscreens with wireless connectivity for… Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Unlike the Telluride, hybrid and plug-in hybrid Sorentos are available, and a new X-Pro trim has all-terrain tires, but those models cost nearly $50,000.Compare Midsize SUVs

Cheapest large SUVs
- Starting price (includes destination):
- $57,730
- Fuel economy:
- up to 16 mpg combined
2024 Nissan Armada
A fully redesigned Nissan Armada with a new twin-turbo V6 engine is coming in 2025, but it's not for sale yet. So, the current model is one of the cheapest full-size SUVs money can buy at just under $60,000. It has a truck-based body-on-frame construction and… a gas-guzzling V8 engine under the hood. Inside, there's seating for seven or eight passengers and plenty of room for cargo. That said, we'd recommend waiting for the new model since it should bring several improvements.- Starting price (includes destination):
- $57,970
- Fuel economy:
- up to 19 mpg combined
2024 Ford Expedition
There's also a new Ford Expedition for the 2025 model year, but the current model starts under $60,000 and is on sale now. Ford gives the Expedition a twin-turbo V6, which can help it tow 9,300 pounds. It is an excellent choice if you have a family and pull… things like a boat or horse trailer, but remember that fully loaded models can get expensive fast.- Starting price (includes destination):
- $58,195
- Fuel economy:
- up to 24 mpg combined
2024 Chevrolet Tahoe
Each of these three full-size SUV choices, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, is being redesigned for the next available model year, but they'll all remain relatively inexpensive large SUVs in their base trims. The Tahoe has a composed ride for being such a large… truck-based SUV, but the seats are uncomfortable in both rows and the cabin is getting dated. The available diesel engine is a relatively inexpensive option and earns the best fuel economy ratings. This could, however, be the last year to get the diesel engine.Compare Large SUVs
