2015 Coolest New Cars For Under $18000 Dollars

To drive a car that offers good design, cutting-edge technology, good fuel economy, and performance, you don't need to spend a fortune, thanks to the progress achieved by most brands.

To prove it, the trusted automotive resource, KBB (Kelley Blue Book), published its annual list of the 10 coolest cars from 2015, which has a starting price of less than $18000. This list is already in its 12th edition and is becoming more competitive over the years.

"The 2015 list includes the winner for the second consecutive year, a new Jeep vehicle, and other models that have been completely redesigned for this year", said Jack R. Nerad, Executive Editorial Director and Executive Analyst of KBB.com.

"They all have a nice style, besides being versatile in many aspects and having an affordable price," he added.

For the second consecutive year, the No. 1 position of this Top 10 was won by the Mazda3, a vehicle that complies 100% with the two main criteria of the KBB.com experts: being fun to drive and being a vehicle that does not break the budget, which gives it a "cool factor" greater than the competition.

Each of these vehicles included in the list can be purchased for an MSRP or base price of $18,000 or less. Most of them are hatchbacks, so I hope you like this type of car.

Starting price: $16,945

The Mazda3 is an essential model within the entire range of Mazda. Just this vehicle comprises more than 30% of brand sales and is the third model of the new generation of SKYACTIV technology, which helps to reduce fuel consumption thanks to optimizations made in the engine, transmission, chassis, body, and other components.

This ecological innovation excels because of its contribution to improving efficiency and reducing the impact on the environment. From the hand of a 6-speed automatic transmission, a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, 188-HP, and 184 ft-lb of torque, combined with a weight of 2,901 lbs, the Mazda3 allows you to move with great ease.

In fact, in some instances, they have greater mobility models in their segment, by facing vehicles already established in the market as the Golf GTI and Ford Focus ST.
