With the Nissan Versa dropping out of the U.S. market last year, the Hyundai Venue is now the cheapest car in America, with a starting price of just $22,150. It is pretty dated at this point, being six years old now, without any real changes other than an updated gauge cluster a couple of years ago. But it has all the bases covered, with a nice, boxy shape to get the most space out of its small dimensions, an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and enough power to keep up in American traffic. While its sales in 2025 were up 21%, it still only sold 29,805 units, which isn’t as many as it should be selling if car buyers are actually tired of high vehicle prices like they say they are.
