Can you still buy a genuinely good new SUV under $25,000? Nik Miles searched the American new-car market and ranked five affordable SUVs that are actually worth considering.

The contenders:

2026 Hyundai Venue
2026 Buick Envista
2026 Chevrolet Trax
2026 Nissan Kicks
2027 Kia Seltos

These SUVs are compared for price, safety technology, fuel economy, passenger space, cargo capacity, warranty coverage and everyday usability. Some are roomier, some are more efficient, and one delivers the strongest overall value.

All prices are starting manufacturer’s suggested retail prices before destination charges, taxes, registration, dealer fees and optional equipment. Adding destination charges will push several of these vehicles above $25,000.
