Kia Sportage
2022 MSRP starting at $28,395
If AWD is not a priority, Kia has multiple options under $30,000. The Soul hatchback is one, with impressive interior room, but have you seen the brand new 2023 Sportage? Stunning from the inside out, it offers more space than its predecessor, great value for the price, and a 187-horsepower engine that can tow up to 2,500 pounds.
