Buying a new car can be incredibly expensive, especially a final trim model. The average new car price in June 2025 is around $48,699, according to automotive research site CarEdge.com. Luckily for American drivers, you can score a fully-loaded new car for less than half of that price.
That's right, some new cars have starting prices under $25,000, even as fully loaded models. Drivers can add available packages and accessories and still get a new final configuration vehicle for under $30K.
There are several new affordable cars on the market for 2025, but the Versa stands out among the pack. It starts at just $17,190 for the base model. The 2025 Nissan Versa SR trim starts at $22,330 and comes standard with the best Versa features that the Japanese brand has to offer.
The SR trim is loaded with plenty of standard driver-assistance and safety features that make upgrading to the final configuration worth the money. Furthermore, it takes an affordable subcompact car that is inherently barebones due to its affordability and modernizes it with additional tech and creature comforts.
The 2025 Nissan Versa SR comes in Super Black, Gun Metallic, or Brilliant Silver Metallic. Drivers can pay an additional $450 for premium color options such as Scarlet Ember Tintcoat, Artic Ice Blue Metallic, Gray Sky Pearl, or Aspen White Tricoat.
