Of course, 20 thousand dollars is quite a sum for most Ukrainians these days. Nevertheless, this figure is relatively affordable for those who want to buy a new car. And it doesn’t matter whether in cash or on credit. Therefore, we are sure that this new car rating will be useful and interesting to you.
Basically, you don’t need to be an analyst to find out which cars without mileage can be purchased for up to 500-550 thousand hryvnia or in another price category. For these purposes, there are filters that allow you to select the most suitable options. In this case, all options within the suitable price branch are shown by the AB.ua selection for new cars under $20,000.
In fact, the choice of cars for 17-20 thousand dollars is quite wide and allows you to find suitable options for young buyers, heads of large families, small business owners, and of course, crossover enthusiasts.
This selection probably presents the optimal options in terms of price/quality/practicality ratio. According to AvtoBazar, parameters such as reliability, economy, and equipment level are also taken into account.
Ranking of the Best New Cars Under 20 Thousand Dollars
Chery Tiggo 7
Without exaggeration, a beautiful and modern crossover from the Chinese brand, which no longer copies the design but dictates its style. We won’t speak about the reliability (it’s too early to judge), but the level of equipment in the new model is very decent.
For 18,800 dollars, you can choose the Luxury package with a leather interior, cruise and climate control, front and rear parking sensors, and even a panoramic roof. The engine is a 1.5 turbo gasoline engine with 152 hp, paired with a manual gearbox. And for just over 20 thousand – with an automatic transmission. But all-wheel drive is not provided at all, only front-wheel drive.
Fiat Doblo
For those who need a maximally practical car for both family and work, the Fiat Doblo is a very good option for a so-called “van.” With manual transmission and a 1.3-liter turbo diesel, this car will cost no more than 500 thousand UAH.
Ford Focus
Today, the Ford Focus in Ukraine will cost about 500 thousand hryvnias, and you can choose a gasoline Focus in three body types: sedan, hatchback, or station wagon. Moreover, there is even an option with an automatic transmission, costing just under 20 thousand dollars.
Kia Ceed SW
The Kia Ceed SW is a beautiful and attractive station wagon, which you can buy in Ukraine for half a million hryvnias with a gasoline engine and automatic transmission or a diesel engine and manual transmission. A good option for those who love purely passenger cars but need a large trunk.
Kia Picanto
Picanto is a stylish urban “baby” that is convenient to park and easy to move around on busy streets. Despite its compact size, it is equipped with a rich list of equipment. For 17 thousand dollars, the car is equipped with an 85-hp gasoline engine and automatic transmission.
Nissan Juke
The compact crossover Nissan Juke is quite often seen on our roads, and this is logical. Low price, impressive ground clearance, and bright appearance are probably the keys to this model’s success. Unfortunately, it is only available with a gasoline engine, but there is a choice of transmission and drivetrain type. But with a budget up to $20,000, all-wheel drive is unavailable.
Renault Duster
For several years now, the Duster has been one of the most popular crossovers in Ukraine. With a budget of up to 20 thousand dollars, you can choose either a gasoline Duster with all-wheel drive or a diesel with front-wheel drive. And for 540-580 thousand hryvnias, you can buy either a diesel with an automatic and front-wheel drive or a diesel with a manual transmission and all-wheel drive.
Renault Lodgy
Renault Lodgy is perhaps the most affordable 7-seater car. For less than 20 thousand, you get a spacious and economical minivan with a diesel engine and three rows of seats. An excellent option for a large family.
Skoda
For 18-20 thousand dollars, you can buy a Skoda Fabia with an automatic transmission or a Skoda Octavia with a manual transmission. Do not forget about the Rapid. Let us note that we are talking about versions with a 1.6-liter MPI gasoline engine. This engine is known for being reliable and “omnivorous,” and it is also well-suited for LPG installation.
Suzuki Vitara
Another Japanese crossover that quickly gained popularity after appearing on the market and took some of the “pie” from other market players. With 500 thousand hryvnias, you can buy a new Vitara with an automatic transmission today, and with manual transmission, it is even cheaper. It is also worth noting that the Suzuki Vitara is one of the few off-road models available with all-wheel drive, an automatic, and at the same time an atmospheric engine (most competitors are equipped with turbo units).
