Key Notes / Observations
- No new cars under $20,000 in Canada for 2025. Several sources note that with the discontinuation of very low-cost models (like the Mitsubishi Mirage), even the cheapest new cars start above that threshold.
- The prices listed are MSRP / base model, and do not include additional costs like destination fees, taxes, or dealer fees.
- Features on the base models often include basic safety and infotainment, but more budget-conscious trims may lack premium features (e.g., the base Versa doesn’t have Apple CarPlay / Android Auto).
