00:00There's something weird going on in the car market today, so most people are holding off
00:04buying a car thinking something will happen any time soon.
00:07But some people need one today, and I want to make it easy for you and show some decent
00:11value cars you must see before buying one.
00:13Let me start with...
00:142025 Toyota Camry This new Camry has so many changes compared
00:19to the previous year model, and I believe you'll be surprised to know about them.
00:23First off, refined performance, then elevated design and aerodynamics, and of course, extremely
00:28attractive new colors.
00:30Engineered for better efficiency, the new Camry's all-hybrid powertrain has EPA-estimated
00:3451 miles per gallon range.
00:37With an impressive 232 horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine becoming standard,
00:42Toyota is showing how committed it is towards hybrid electric cars, rather than fully electric
00:47models.
00:48Upgraded front and back help it to become more aerodynamic, while the all-new stylish
00:52stock wheels make it look extremely sporty.
00:55Inside, the 2025 Camry has a similar 12-inch gauge cluster and similar infotainment touchscreen,
01:00optional head-up display, and much more to list.
01:03However, the starting price of $28,400 is still competitively priced compared to its
01:08biggest rivals, despite now having insane hybrid car mileage.
01:122025 Honda Civic Hybrid The awaited return of the classic, 2025 Honda
01:18Civic Hybrid is an amazing addition to the Honda lineup.
01:22This hybrid variant features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine accompanied with dual
01:26electric motors emitting an approximate of 200 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque.
01:32Distinguishing themselves from their gas-only counterparts, these new hybrid Civics have
01:36a unique body-colored garnish beneath the headlights, with each car receiving a refurbished
01:40fascia lower front lip, giving it an exquisite new look.
01:44Looking inside, 2025 Civic Hybrids come with sunroof, heated front seats, a dual-zone climate
01:49control option, and much more.
01:51And if that isn't appealing enough, the Sport Touring Hybrid brings a booming 12-speaker
01:55Bose system and a larger and impressive touchscreen with built-in Google, Apple CarPlay, and Android
02:00Auto.
02:01Priced at $26,000 for a hybrid variant, it can't get any better than this for such an
02:06iconic car like the Honda Civic.
02:092025 Mazda CX-70 Let's look at the first-ever 2025 Mazda
02:15CX-70.
02:16Within the base model, a mild hybrid turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six engine makes 280 horsepower
02:22and 332 pound-feet of torque, promising a competitive mileage of EPA-estimated 25 miles
02:28per gallon.
02:29With a starting price of $40,000, the SUV is uniquely positioned among other Mazda's
02:34SUV family.
02:35Inside, the CX-70 offers spacious black Nappa leather seats, a 12.3-inch infotainment system,
02:41head-up display, 360-degree view monitor, Bose sound system, iActiveSense safety technology,
02:47and built-in Amazon Alexa hands-free commands, just like other more expensive Mazda models.
02:52Interestingly, the 2025 CX-70 has the capacity to tow up to 5,000 pounds with its trailer-hitch
02:57view monitoring function.
02:59This is by far the most anticipated Mazda SUV this year, considering its starting price
03:04of $40,000 and value proposition.
03:06Let me know what you think in the comments section below.
03:102024 Nissan Sentra
03:12If I buy this new Nissan Sentra, I don't expect it to be the best car in the neighborhood.
03:17But you will be surprised at the overall value of the 2024 Sentra sedan.
03:2130-city and 40-highway MPG is really impressive when you have a 149-horsepower, 2-liter, 4-cylinder
03:28engine under the hood.
03:29The 2024 Sentra is very versatile and offers many color options to choose from.
03:34Inside, there's a 7-inch touchscreen display, zero-gravity seats, remote start, and much more.
03:40Nissan's latest safety technologies such as Intelligent Cruise Control as well as Nissan
03:45Safety Shield 360 are available.
03:47The pricing starts at under $22,000, which makes it one of the best value sedans you
03:52can buy brand new right now.
03:542024 Kia Forte
03:56Kia's best-selling sedan in the last couple of years is still going strong this year as well.
04:01I'm not sure if a sub-$20,000 car with a 201-horsepower, 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine
04:07getting 41 MPG on the highway can be any more affordable than this.
04:11Unless you want to upgrade to a higher trim level, which still costs around $25,000 max,
04:16you're getting a solid vehicle with safety features like Lane Keeping Assist, Forward
04:21Collision Avoidance Assist, etc.
04:23Inside, Kia installed a 10-inch touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto,
04:29and much more.
04:30The minimalist design of the 2024 Forte is what I like the most about this vehicle.
04:35Yes, there's nothing that really stands out from its competition, but it has all the standard
04:39features you might think of.
04:41Unless you need something out of the ordinary or luxury, the price tag of $20,000 is great
04:46value for this compact sedan.
04:482024 Volkswagen Jetta
04:51The German brand's smallest sedan is still one of the few affordable, competitive vehicles
04:56you can buy in the U.S.
04:57This new Jetta still holds that stylish exterior character with forward-thinking interior features.
05:03The 2024 Jetta has a 1.5-liter turbocharged direct-injection engine, which translates
05:08to 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque and a lot of fun.
05:14Inside, I kind of like it that, at this price point, VW still includes its innovative digital
05:19cockpit display for high-resolution navigation.
05:22On top of the most standard features, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the new Jetta offers
05:26a driver-assistance suite called iDrive, which involves seven separate safety-assist
05:31features.
05:32It's really crazy that you can buy a brand-new 2024 Jetta just for $21,000 and change, but
05:38this sedan stands as one of the most affordable new cars you can buy today.
05:422024 Hyundai Venue
05:45This is it!
05:45The 2024 Venue is clearly one of the most affordable vehicles on the market today so
05:50that you can buy brand-new and not be afraid it can break down next month.
05:54If you're in need of a small SUV and not willing to spend more than $20,000, you can't
05:59go wrong with the Hyundai Venue.
06:01Obviously, this is a city car, which has a decent 121-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder
06:07engine, able to earn 31 miles per gallon combined, and should keep you safer with Hyundai's
06:12SmartSense suite of safety technology.
06:14Inside, there's nothing fancy, but you get most of the standard features you'll need.
06:18There's an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation on certain models, too.
06:22The 2024 Hyundai Venue's base model is advertised as $19,900 MSRP, and even after that, there
06:29are some Hyundai incentives.
06:30You must ask to get an even better deal.
06:332024 Mazda 3
06:35Probably the most elegant and stylish affordable sedan on this list, the new Mazda 3 has even
06:40more characteristics to brag about.
06:42Its Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter engine is able to deliver 250 horsepower and confidently 27
06:49miles per gallon city and 37 miles per gallon highway.
06:53The starting price of $24,000 is one of the highest on this list, but if you take into
06:58account the whole package, there's tremendous value in the driving experience of this new
07:02Mazda 3.
07:03Moreover, inside, you get a 9-inch center display, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, in-car
07:09Wi-Fi capability, and an amazing 12-speaker premium audio system.
07:13If you're in the market for an affordable sedan, and you want to enjoy driving it for
07:17many years to come, don't sleep on this new 2024 Mazda 3.
07:21Also, take advantage of the manufacturer incentives to save yourself even more.
07:262025 Honda Civic
07:28This iconic, sporty sedan has been around for so long, and finally, the year 2025 model
07:34is going to be offering the hybrid variant.
07:36Isn't it exciting?
07:37The 2025 Civic now comes as both a 1.5-liter gas and hybrid engine combination, while the
07:43regular turbocharged 2.0-liter 158-horsepower engine remains optional.
07:48The gas-powered Civic still gets 40 miles of highway and 35 miles combined, while the
07:53hybrid Civic now can get up to 50 miles and 45 miles combined.
07:57Honda has made small changes to the exterior of the sedan, while the interior remains
08:01unchanged.
08:02Inside, you'll have a 10-inch color touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a bunch of
08:07different outlets, as well as a wireless phone charger on certain models.
08:11If you're not careful, you may end up spending more at your local Honda dealership, but don't
08:15let them price it above MSRP of $24,000 out the door.
08:192024 Toyota Corolla
08:22The Toyota Corolla is not the most exciting vehicle Toyota offers, but it is surely the
08:26most affordable Toyota model you can buy here in the U.S.
08:30The 2024 Corolla does not disappoint, offering exactly what you'll pay for, tremendous
08:35reliability and a money-saving aura.
08:38The starting price of $23,000 can get you a 169-horsepower, 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine
08:44with CVT transmission that's going to earn from 41 miles per gallon highway up to 53
08:49miles per gallon for the hybrid variant.
08:51Inside, Toyota's opted for soft-touch materials and Soft-Tex leather.
08:55The standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
09:00is still there from the previous year model.
09:02If you want the most storage room, the Corolla sedan is not the biggest.
09:06Therefore, the Corolla Hatchback should be your default.
09:09But at the end of the day, top-tier build quality is why you're paying $23,000 for
09:13this vehicle.
