It's that time again. When you're buying a car, it's hard to know exactly what you want. Of course, you want a solid car that meets your needs and doesn't break the bank.
Well, over 74 million cars are sold every year, so we can tell you the time-tested way to pick the right car for you, and give you the best new cars on the market today! Let's talk about your best options for when you buy a new car!
What To Look For When You Buy A New Car
Here's the tricky part. Everybody is going to have different preferences and needs when it comes to style, performance, gas mileage, features, towing capacity, and other capabilities. Because of this, we're going to have a list of a wide range of vehicles so you know what works for you.
If you're not sure about your needs, really think about them. Are you going to be driving to and from work and occasionally going out with this vehicle? If so, you may just want a fuel-efficient sedan.
If you're going to be towing heavy loads, you want a pickup truck. If you have a large family that you need to drive around, a minivan or a large SUV will be great. Are you outdoorsy? You may want off-roading capabilities. Have a house and trying to go green? Maybe you want a hybrid or electric vehicle. With that said, once you know what you want, let's take a look at the cars that made the list!
#1. 2021 Dodge RAM 1500
When you hear "RAM", you think power. Dodge RAM 1500 is one of the toughest and most powerful pickup trucks on the market, and they're surprisingly affordable. They come fully equipped with a powerful V8 engine, between 260 and 702 horsepower, and 8-speed automatic transmission capable of towing between 6,150 and 8,290 pounds!
For such a large pickup truck and such a powerful engine, you may be surprised to learn that you can get an average of 20 to 25 mpg. All of that can be found at our dealership for $2,500 under the MSRP.
If you decide to get a Ram 1500 classic truck, you'll get a longer bed in exchange for less seating. The 4-door truck will offer between a 67.2" and a 76.8" bed while the 2-door, classic truck will offer up to an impressive 98.4" bed length for as low as $31,340!
#2. 2021 Jeep Wrangler
So you're sporty? You love the great outdoors, maybe you have a family and want the extra room, or you just like the feel of a rugged SUV. No matter what you like, the Jeep Wrangler is for you.
This is the best of all worlds. Wranglers can drive almost anywhere you want them to drive, they come with 8-speed automatic transmission, turbo engine, 4-wheel drive, and between 21 and 24 mpg. Because of these features, it makes the Wrangler as excellent on the road as it is in the dirt, and it's listed every year among the best off-roading vehicles!
#3. 2021 Dodge Charger Sedan
Do you remember when you were a kid and all you wanted was a dodge charger? No, just us? Well, either way, your dream can come true. The 2021 Charger is affordable to buy and maintain but make no mistake. This is no ordinary sedan!
Not only can you buy these vehicles for $31,110, but you'll be looking at up to 30 mpg on the highway! If you're looking to get to and from work and drive your kids or a few friends out on the weekend, do it in style with a Charger!
#4. 2021 Chrysler Pacifica
Like all of the larger vehicles on this list, these minivans are very economical on fuel! These vans offer 287 horsepower, a 3,600-pound towing capacity, a 9-speed automatic transmission, and between 19 and 28 mpg! All of that with a 7-person seating capacity! This is the perfect choice for a big family, an Uber XL driver, or even for a school bus van!
#5. 2021 Dodge Challenger
If you didn't dream of owning a charger as a kid, it must have been because you wanted a Challenger. We understand. If you're just driving to work, taking joy rides, or even just trying to show off, this is the perfect car for you.
These sports cars come equipped with 8-speed automatic transmission, 5 comfortable seats, and between 19 and 30 mpg. Some other features include an auto-dimming rearview mirror, exterior rear parking camera, perimeter approach lights, and automatic temperature control!
#6. 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Okay, maybe the Wrangler isn't your style. Well, with the Grand Cherokee, you get a lot of the same benefits of a Jeep with a more modern SUV style and a more affordable price.
The Grand Cherokee offers rear-wheel drive, so some versions of this model are not as optimal for off-roading (however it still offers 8.6 inches of ground clearance and plenty of power), 8-speed automatic transmission, and between 19 and 26 mpg. This vehicle also comes equipped with perimeter approach lights, a rear parking camera, a split-folding rear seat, and parking sensors. The safety features in this SUV are hard to beat!
If the Wrangler and the Grand Cherokee don't fit your needs, there are other Jeeps that perform just as well! The Renegade is an excellent option for a lot of space without hurting gas mileage, and the Compass is a great crossover-style SUV that offers a 9-speed transmission and 4-wheel drive! Honestly, you can't go wrong with Jeeps when you're looking for an SUV!
