The best cars of 2025: which inexpensive models outperformed everyone

Almost all of the new cars that will go on sale in 2025 have already been officially declassified in detail. Among them, there are many inexpensive cars that turned out to be the best and outperformed all their rivals.

OBOZ.UA has selected the most interesting cars in the most popular segments that are of interest to buyers today. The main criterion is affordability. These are the cars we paid attention to.

The best crossover

Dacia Duster is an unsurprising winner. But, frankly, with its price of 19,000 euros and the model's reputation, it's hard to expect worthy competition from other manufacturers. And now the 3rd generation Duster has a really cool design.

The best pickup truck

Pickup trucks seem to be becoming more and more popular outside of the United States. The new Kia Tasman is the youngest member of the segment and a long-awaited model. Kia will surely succeed in this segment as well. The design has caused some controversy, but we believe that the striking appearance is good for the car.

The best premium car

Of course, we're talking about affordable premium. Acura is trying to expand its offer amidst the intensification of its rivals. The new Acura ADX is the brand's most compact crossover, which should become very popular. The price is expected to be just over $30,000.

The best electric car

We have been promised cheap electric cars for a long time. But we don't take into account Chinese cars that crumble on the move, stink of plastic, and are not designed for long-term operation. The new Hyundai Inster, priced at 20,000 euros, is just what we need. If EVs are seriously competing for our attention, they must be inexpensive.

The best SUV

With the new generation Passport, Honda has finally returned to the SUV segment. It may not be a frame SUV, but today a car of this format needs a reinforced all-wheel drive transmission and a brutal design. The Passport has it all.

Expectations of the year

We expected to see the new Toyota RAV4 in 2024. However, the manufacturer postponed the premiere until 2025. Great, there will be something to do next year. The car will remain affordable and get a modern design. We are looking forward to it.
