2021 Forte GT Sport

2021 Mitsubishi Mirage
The redesigned 2021 Nissan Kicks has been updated to provide even more features, technology, customized style and value that buyers are seeking in a compact crossover. New changes include standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto ™, a refreshed exterior styling with a bold new “Double V-motion” grille and an updated interior with a new center console, new seating and trim materials.



2021 Chevrolet Spark



It's 2015, Nissan announces a brand new Micra for $ 9,998. A real new car for less than $ 10,000. At the same time, the Mirage at Mitsubishi is a tear more than $ 10,000 for a base version. The Honda Civic DX is barely $ 15,000, the base Hyundai Accent $ 13,299, $ 14,000 for a Kia Rio. The choice was still very good for an affordable small car. Seven years later, the average price for a new vehicle in Canada is over $ 40,000 and that for a used vehicle is around $ 28,000. We wonder where this will end?
Fortunately, there are still a few affordable candidates. We have prepared a small list of the least expensive vehicles that you can currently find on the Quebec market.
1- CHEVROLET SPARK $ 10,398 (MANUAL BOX)
Here is our all-category champion. It offers four seats, a 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine developing 98 horsepower and 94 pound-feet of torque. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual or optional CVT. All Spark models are equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen in the center console. It offers good space and decent comfort for a city car.

2- MITSUBISHI MIRAGE $ 14,098
Here is the only other surviving subcompact models on our roads. It is not only more expensive than the Spark, but also much less interesting

Its weak 1.2-liter 3-cylinder engine that develops 78 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque is anemic. For $ 14,098 you get a 5-speed manual transmission, while a bad CVT is offered as an option. The only advantage you'll get with this car is fuel economy.

3- NISSAN VERSA: $ 16,498
It was the Versa that sort of replaced the Micra. It offers the same 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque and a little more space. It also comes standard with a manual transmission and optional CVT. A nice, interesting and well-built little car for those who want affordable and comfortable transportation from point A to point B.

4- KIA RIO $ 17,295
Here is a car that offers a lot for the price. It is comfortable, well built, well guaranteed, offers a suspension capable of making long journeys enjoyable with a practical tailgate and plenty of space for the format. You also get Apple CarPlay / Android Auto as standard, a 1.6-liter 120 horsepower / 112 lb-ft of torque 4-cylinder engine paired with the standard 6-speed manual or optional CVT. Lots of fun for the price.

5- HYUNDAI VENUE $ 17,599
With the disappearance of the Accent, the Venue replaced it. It is also the most affordable small SUV in the country. Powered by a 121 horsepower, 113 lb-ft 4-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed manual or optional CVT transmission. Even in the base version, the 5-passenger Venue has an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto / Apple CarPlay, heated front seats and power side mirrors. Built for the city, you're only entitled to front-wheel drive.

6- KIA FORTE $ 17,895
Here is the twin sister of the Hyundai Elantra taking off at a slightly more affordable price. You are entitled to more space than the Rio with better soundproofing. Kia includes the Android Auto / Apple CarPlay wireless system, heated front seats, cruise control and the Kia 5-year / 100,000-kilometer factory warranty as standard. An excellent quality / price ratio.

7- HYUNDAI ELANTRA $ 17,899
Heated front seats, 8-inch touchscreen, Android Auto / Apple CarPlay wireless system and alloy wheels are all standard. Power comes from a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder developing 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission (CVT is optional). Despite the coupe-like appearance of the front-wheel-drive, five-passenger Elantra, head and legroom are plentiful in the rear. As with Kia, you are entitled to a 5-year, 100,000 km warranty.

8- NISSAN SENTRA $ 19,198
The Sentra has had a great facelift recently with great success, let's face it. In the basic S version, the Nissan tra
