Edmunds announced their list of top picks for new and used vehicles under $20,000 to help guide consumers seeking more affordable transportation during the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to considering vehicle pricing, Edmunds’ editors put together their list based on a combination of Edmunds’ expert ratings and consumer reviews on Edmunds.

“With new and used vehicle prices on the rise, it might seem increasingly more difficult for car shoppers to find a well-regarded car or SUV for under $20,000,” said Alistair Weaver, Edmunds’ editor-in-chief. “But if you’re on the hunt for budget-friendly personal transportation during the pandemic, the good news is that these vehicles do still exist—you just need to know where to look.”
