With the Versa gone, Nissan’s cheapest vehicles available are the Kicks SUV and the Altima and Sentra sedans. There are still some alternatives available for less than $30,000, including the Chevrolet Trax, Honda Civic, Kia Seltos and Toyota Corolla. New-car affordability in the U.S. suffered another blow recently when Nissan officially discontinued the cheapest new car available, the Versa. The sedan has topped Cars.com’s list of cheapest new cars for a while now, and has even made the cut for our list of best value new cars; for under $20,000, you could have a subcompact and, for the enthusiast who likes a cheap small car that you can row your own gears in, even have it with a manual transmission. Sadly, we may never see anything like it again stateside. But all isn’t lost. While there aren’t any new cars that start at less than $20,000 anymore, there are still a few models that start under $30,000 besides the Versa’s bigger stablemates, the Altima, Kicks and Sentra. In the Versa’s absence, we’ve gathered a few model-year 2026 options below for buyers looking for a great vehicle that’s actually affordable.

For just over $23,000 to start, you get standard features that include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlights and a suite of driver safety aids. A loaded Trax is relatively affordable, too; even with major options like premium paint and a moonroof, you’ll still come in under $30,000. The one major downside is that it’s underpowered: Despite having a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine, the Trax’s 137 horsepower makes it one of the least powerful crossovers in the class.
