I have to admit that when looking at the panorama of the car I can not do anything but surprise and worry. New car prices continue to rise, especially in volume segments such as SUVs. And while it is true that there are exceptions of cars that remain relatively stable, some of which we will see in this article, as a general rule all prices are increasing. And unfortunately we assume that this trend is not going to reverse and that the prices we see today in dealerships, and also in this collection of SUVs, will increase in the coming months.
Again, We analyze 5 SUVs that are still “cheap” – with lots of quotes. 5 SUVs with very diverse approaches, of different sizes, with and without the ECO label. From products as popular as those of Dacia, to one of the most unknown on the market, such as the Suzuki access model. From well-established brands, such as Hyundai, to newcomers, such as the return of MG with products that are shaking up the market due to their relationship between quality, equipment and price.
As if that were not enough, we will also tell you how much have the starting prices of these SUVs risen since the summer.
New car prices continue to skyrocket, but some relatively cheap SUVs still exist
Suzuki Ignis: the smallest SUV for €16,304 (up €1,033)
For just over €16,000, specifically with a sale price of €16,304, we find a great unknown, the Suzuki Ignis. With 3.7 meters in length and 5 doors, it is the smallest SUV on the market. Its great asset, without a doubt, is having a light hybrid system that not only gives it the ECO label, but also negligible consumption that, as we have seen when we have driven it, can be kept well below 5 litres/ 100 kilometers.
Although it is still an economical car, the Suzuki Ignis has increased its price by €1,033 in recent weeks.
- Engine: 1.2 Mild Hybrid, 84 CV of power, of gasoline and with manual transmission of 5 relations
- Equipment (GLE): 16″ alloy wheels, air conditioning, rear view camera, 7″ touch screen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Hyundai Bayon: an SUV for €15,540 (up €1,150)
For just over €15,000 – exactly for a sale price of €15,540 – We can access a Hyundai Bayon, a visually attractive small SUV, modest in many aspects (starting with its equipment for the cheapest version), but more than interesting if we are looking for a battle car and especially for the city.
Although it is still an economical car, it is important to note that its offer price has increased by €1,150 since August.
- Offer conditions: financing a minimum of €10,500 and delivering an old car
- Engine: 1.2 MPi 84 hp, gasoline and with 5-speed manual gearbox

Dacia Sandero Stepway: an SUV for €14,067
The Dacia Sandero has been progressively more expensive in recent years and has been eliminating its less equipped access versions. Fortunately, Dacia continues to offer us products with correct equipment, at a very reasonable price – in offer from €14,067 and a Stepway that has differentiated itself more from the base Sandero to offer us an honest crossover and for all pockets.
In a year in which we are seeing how most cars rise in price month after month, it is important to note that the price of the Dacia Sandero (and Sandero Stepway) has been relatively stable since the summer.
- Offer conditions: financing a minimum of €6,000
- Engine: 90 hp TCe, gasoline, with 6-speed manual gearbox
- Equipment: manual climate control, Radio Media Control (without screen) and 16″ wheels
- recommended version (with a looser budget): Dacia Sandero Stepway Expression from €15,168
MG ZS: an SUV for €12,950
A historic British manufacturer like MG has returned to the European market, with a product made in China, which stands out for enjoying all the most basic equipment, an attractive design and a price that, today, is unrivaled. It is the cheapest of this collection, with a price in offer from €12,950. And not only that. It is the only one that in its most basic version, for access, includes a touch screen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
Today it is not possible to find an SUV as wide and as equipped with its price. And at a time when all brands are making their products significantly more expensive, MG keeps its prices unchanged from month to month.
- Offer conditions: financing the purchase (includes 1 year of free all-risk insurance)
- Engine: 1.5 VTI-tech gasoline and 106 CV of power, with manual transmission of 5 relations
- Equipment: 10.1″ touch screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and rear parking sensors
- recommended version (with a looser budget): MG ZS Comfort for €12,950
Dacia Spring: an electric mini-SUV for €12,404
The cheapest SUV on the market is electric, but the Dacia Spring also has a trick. The Dacia Spring sale price starts at €12,404, if we have the €7,000 in aid for the purchase of electric cars from the MOVES Plan. It is a very modest car, small and designed, both for its autonomy and its performance, for an eminently urban use.
- Offer conditions: financing a minimum of €6,000
- Engine: electric with 45 hp and a range of 230 kilometers (WLTP)
- Equipment (Essential): manual climate control, 17″ alloy wheels and light sensor
Looking for cheap SUVs for less than €16,000
I would love to tell you that, although it is true that the new car is getting considerably more expensive, there are still bargains on the second-hand market. But if what we are looking for is a used SUV, unfortunately, there is no such thing. Pre-owned prices are very close to those of a new car. And the great success of SUVs, which have become the favorite car of the Spanish, means that in order to find a second-hand SUV with an acceptable price, we have to look for units with many kilometers, many years and/or previous generations of the product. .
Still, below we can see that there are quite a few second-hand SUVs for less than €16,000:
