The 4-door sedan was once headed for extinction, and while it’s still not as popular as it was in its heyday, the sedan body style’s comfort, convenience, efficiency, and affordability have real staying power. Today, you can get some truly impressive sedans for surprisingly little money, many with cutting-edge technology, safety systems, and drivetrains.
The prices quoted below are for each model’s base trim. They include destination charges but no other mandatory fees, such as tax, title, or licensing.
Here are 10 great, affordable sedans you can buy today.
1. 2025 Honda Accord
Sticker Price: $29,445
The 2025 Honda Accord is a fantastic all-around family sedan. Excellent reliability and resale value mean it’s good for the short run and the long haul, and its spacious cabin and ample standard feature set make it a strong value even in base trims. The SE adds a power moonroof, heated front seats, leather upholstery, and more, yet it costs just $31,710.

2. 2025 Honda Civic
Sticker Price: $25,400
Like a slightly smaller, more efficient version of the Accord, the 2025 Honda Civic is a great all-arounder. For the 2025 model year, the Civic brings back the option of a hybrid drivetrain, but even the standard 4-cylinder in the base car claims 41 mpg on the highway. The base LX trim includes smartphone integration, Bluetooth audio, a 7-inch touchscreen, and safety features like lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow.

3. 2025 Hyundai Elantra
Sticker Price: $23,320
One of the industry’s best warranties backs the 2025 Hyundai Elantra, but there are plenty of more fun reasons to like the compact sedan, even if you’re not eyeing the 276-horsepower Elantra N. The base Elantra SE is an attractive choice, with cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and LED headlights, but the upgraded tech and 10.25-inch display of the SEL Sport make it a substantial value for just about $1,000 above the base SE.

4. 2025 Kia K4
Sticker Price: $23,165
The 2025 Kia K4 is an all-new model and all-new nameplate, replacing the previous Kia Forte sedan. The K4 is a major step up in terms of style and space compared to the Forte, with a stylish exterior and a modern cabin that’s as feature-filled as it is spacious. Wireless smartphone integration is standard, and higher trims can opt for features like dual 12.3-inch displays and a voice-activated digital assistant.

5. 2025 Mazda3
Sticker Price: $25,335
For those with a taste for sharp handling with comfort, style, and value, the 2025 Mazda3 is the smart pick. High-spec turbocharged models are the most fun, but even base models offer a rewarding driving feel on top of a competitive feature set, with standard equipment including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic monitoring, and smartphone integration. For 2025, the Mazda3 gets Alexa built-in and a slight decrease in the starting price.

6. 2025 Nissan Altima
Sticker Price: $28,140
The 2025 Nissan Altima is another versatile option, especially when fitted with the available all-wheel drive (AWD). The value sweet spot is in the Altima SV trim, with all of the well-equipped base car’s features (Safety Shield 360, keyless entry, cruise control), an upgraded center display, smartphone integration, and an 8-way power driver’s seat. For 2025, there’s no longer a turbocharged engine option.

Sticker Price: $18,330
The 2025 Nissan Versa is not just an affordable sedan; it’s one of the most affordable new cars in the United States, yet it’s also surprisingly well-equipped. For maximum value, look at the midrange Versa SV, which has standard keyless entry and push-button start, a 7-inch driver display and 7-inch center touchscreen, wireless device charging, smartphone integration, and more.

The 2025 Toyota Camry marks an all-new generation for one of America’s most popular sedans. With the arrival of the new Camry, all versions are hybrids, including the base model, which gets 51 mpg combined. All-wheel drive is available, as are more luxurious features on the higher trims, but even the base Camry LE includes wireless smartphone integration and advanced safety features.

9. 2025 Toyota Corolla
Sticker Price: $23,460
As the smaller, more affordable sibling to the Camry, the 2025 Toyota Corolla is efficient, comfortable, and safe, ticking the most important boxes for most families. It is also value-packed, with the base model offering standard LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, wireless smartphone integration, and more. If you’d like a taste of luxury, the Corolla XSE adds a power moonroof, upgraded upholstery, and more tech for a price below $30,000.

10. 2025 Subaru Legacy
Sticker Price: $26,380
The 2025 Subaru Legacy is a go-to among sedans if standard all-wheel drive is a must-have. The Base model is nicely equipped, with adaptive cruise control, smartphone integration, steering-responsive headlights, and the EyeSight safety suite. Those seeking more luxury should consider the Limited or Touring XT, while fans of speed will enjoy the 260-hp Legacy Sport, all of which start below $40,000. Shopping tip: If you’re a fan of the Legacy but on the fence, now is your time to act – the Legacy will cease production after the 2025 model year.
