Best Used Cars and SUVs Under $20,000
If you can't find an appealing new car, consider these reliable models that performed well in our tests
Buying a pre-owned car is more than just a great way to save money. It could get you into a model that has safety and luxury features you couldn’t afford in a new car.
In order to focus your search better, we dug through years of test data and hundreds of thousands of survey responses to find the best used cars that cost $15,000 to $20,000.
The models below (listed alphabetically by segment) are the ones we’d recommend to our friends and family. Each has standard electronic stability control, an important safety feature. Many are also available with active safety features such as forward collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB), blind spot warning (BSW), and/or rear cross traffic warning (RCTW) as optional or standard equipment.
