Despite Kia already revealed apparently its second dedicated EV, the EV9, the real thing is Kia is already working on its second dedicated electric vehicle, the EV5 or EV7 (to be confirmed) while the EV9 is still far from production.

Fast*, new, or affordable: pick two. Or in the case of these 10 cars, all three. While some of us might bemoan the lack of affordable performance cars out there, it’s not a barren desert of identical silver compact crossovers. In fact, even at the low price of just $30,000—two-thirds the average new-car transaction as of September 2021, according to Kelley Blue Book—there’s still plenty of performance options to be had. You won’t be swinging a V8 for this price, but that’s okay: some of these cars would demolish a turn-of-the-century V8 muscle car at the strip and at the track. And you’ll still get most of the modern amenities expected of a new car. With that out of the way, read on to find the fastest cars for under $30,000 USD. Canadian readers, you’ll see your equivalent prices here, too. SEE ALSO: Top 10 Best Sounding V8 Engines * – we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that fast (top speed) does not equal quick (acceleration), the latter of which this list is based on. Unfortunately the Google SEO overlords prefer the F word. Hyundai Elantra N Line SEE ALSO: 2021 Hyundai Elantra N Line Review: Short N-Gagement Our list starts with the middle-child of the Hyundai Elantra lineup. The N Line uses a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder—an engine you’ll see a few times on this list—to make 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. A close-ratio six-speed manual is the standard transmission, but you can also spec a seven-speed dual-clutch (it’s the only choice in Canada). How quick are we talking then, as the car to kick off this list? Well, how’s 7.1 seconds to 60 mph (96 km/h) sound, according to MotorWeek? Not bad for a car that starts at $25,105 ($28,954 CAD), including destination. Loading … Honda Civic Si SEE ALSO: 2022 Honda Civic Si First Drive: Five Things We Learned The Honda Civic Si has been the go-to affordable sport compact for years. As part of the 11th-generation Civic model that debuted for 2022, the Si still focuses on fun without breaking the bank. It did see a slight drop in horsepower, though. The carryover 1.5-liter turbocharged engine now makes an even 200 hp (down from 205), and the same 192 lb-ft of torque. There’s an improved six-speed manual transmission sending that power to the front wheels, too. That all resulted in a slightly slower run to 60 mph, taking 7.1 seconds in the hands of Motor Trend. Prices start a little over $27,000 ($33,000 CAD). Loading … Kia Forte GT SEE ALSO: 2020 Kia Forte GT Review Not loving the angular looks of that Elantra up top? Have you considered the Kia Forte GT? These two Korean siblings share a lot of the same underpinnings, and that carries over to their drivetrain. Underneath those baby-Stinger looks are the venerable 1.6-liter turbo-four, and your choice of a DCT or six-speed manual transmission. The Forte goes one step further by offering a whole bunch of surprising amenities, including available heated and ventilated seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, and navigation-based smart cruise control. Load up on everything and the Forte still slides under the $30k bar—it starts from just $24,515 ($28,240 CAD). It has the jump on its Hyundai counterpart, with Car and Driver recording a quick 6.7-second run to highway speed. Loading … Kia Soul GT-Line SEE ALSO: 2020 Kia Soul Review Here’s the third (and final) Hyundai Motor Group product on this list with that popular 1.6-liter engine. The Kia Soul is certainly the most unexpected performer, an upright box on wheels compared to the svelte sedans with which it shares its heart. Yes, it’s the same 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. No, there is no manual option; just the seven-speed dual-clutcher. Maybe that’s what helped the Soul scoot to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds in the hands of Motor Trend. All that performance, and you still end up with a whole bunch of practicality—more than anything else on this list, really. It can be yours for $29,105; sorry Canadians, there’s no turbo engine option for you. Loading … Toyota GR86 SEE ALSO: 2022 Toyota GR86 First Drive Review: Old-School, Evolved Toyota (and Subaru, but more on it later) could’ve thrown in the towel with the second-generation GR86 (BRZ). It’s a niche offering in an increasingly small segment, after all. But luckily for enthusiasts, the little sports cars got a significant refresh for 2022. In comes a larger 2.4-liter flat-four engine, still naturally aspirated as the driving gods intended. Two six-speed transmissions are available, depending on whether you want two or three pedals. The car gained just 22 pounds over the previous model, despite more amenities, improved safety, and that bigger engine. No wonder it’s so much quicker to 60 mph now: Toyota quotes a 6.1-second dash. A bonafide rear-drive sports car for $28,725 ($33,280 CAD)? Heck yes. Loading … Subaru BRZ SEE ALSO: Why Subaru Believes the World Needs the 2022 Subaru BRZ Maybe you like its smiling grille. Maybe you’re a sucker for WR Blue. Whatever the reason for picking the Subaru BRZ over the mechanically identical GR86, we’ve got another surprise for you: it’s quicker. Well, it was in the hands of Motor Trend anyway, which blasted the BRZ to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. You’ll pay very slightly more for that privilege, however: Subaru charged $28,955 ($31,220 CAD) for a base BRZ. Loading … Volkswagen Golf GTI SEE ALSO: 2022 Volkswagen GTI and Golf R First Drive Review The regular Golf might no longer be available in the US and Canada, but Volkswagen has kept the GTI and R around. Hot hatch fans, rejoice! The sleek mk8 Golf is a five-door-only affair now, and both models come with powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engines. The GTI’s pony count is now up to 241 hp, and a substantial 273 lb-ft of torque backs that up. Sending the power to the front wheels is your choice of a slick-shifting six-speed manual, or an eight-speed dual-clutch unit. An available electronic limited-slip differential ensures maximum grip through corners, too. It’s all very impressive, but there is one very slight caveat: the Golf GTI only qualifies for this list before destination. After that mandatory charge, you’re looking at $30,540 ($33,245 CAD). Still, it’s one heck of a bargain for an all-rounder like the GTI. Loading … Ford Mustang EcoBoost SEE ALSO: 2020 Ford Mustang EcoBoost High-Performance Package Review It won’t surprise you to learn that the American pony cars still dominate this performance cross-section. You want cheap and fast? That’ll be a Ford Mustang EcoBoost, then. V8 snobs will scoff, but we’re still talking 310 hp and 350 lb-ft, more than enough to worry the traction control (and local Cars & Coffee meets). With that turbo spooling, the Mustang will gallop to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. At a starting price of $28,400 ($33,890 CAD), you’ve still got some wiggle room to check a couple options boxes too, or go the aftermarket route. The Mustang remains an excellent affordable performance option, but it’s not the quickest… Loading … Chevrolet Camaro V6 SEE ALSO: 2019 Chevrolet Camaro Turbo 1LE First Drive The eternal Mustang-Camaro war sees the Bow Tie brigade pull off another win here. If you’re itching for the quickest launch to 60 mph for under 30 large, the Chevrolet Camaro V6 is the way to do it. It’s not the most powerful: horsepower tops the list at 335 hp, but torque sits at 284 lb-ft. No matter; the lighter Camaro just noses ahead of its Dearborn competition, scoring an even 5.0-second run. Like the Mustang, a turbo-four is standard, but the V6 shows up as an option from the LT1 trim onward. The six-cylinder option begins at $28,290 ($33,958 CAD) for the six-speed manual, which features a rev-matching system unique to this group. If you’d rather the 10-speed automatic, you still have room in the budget to do it. Loading … Become an AutoGuide insider.

Diminutive. Tiny. Efficient. Whatever you call them, these are the smallest new cars you can buy. Some of them, as you’ll no doubt note, are not cars at all. As manufacturers continue to abandon the old style and chase crossover sales, the latter have moved in to fill the gap. To wit: Nissan’s smallest car, the “sub-compact” Versa, is nearly three feet longer than the shortest new car on sale. It doesn’t even make the cut here. To show off the diversity of the market, we’ve grouped related cars together. That’s resulted in a few surprises that we hadn’t realized. Where else are you going to see a Mitsubishi Mirage, Jeep Renegade, and Toyota GR86 all rubbing shoulders on the same list? Yeah, we thought so. We’ve also skipped over cars that are saying goodbye this year. So long, Ford EcoSport, Audi TT, and Mazda CX-3. SEE ALSO: Top 10 Affordable Cars with Surprisingly Higher-End Interiors Presented in descending order of length, here are the smallest cars on sale today. Nissan Kicks SEE ALSO: 2021 Nissan Kicks Review: Rebranding the Modern City Car We kick things off with, er, the Kicks. Nissan’s little not-quite-a-crossover is its most compact offering, measuring just 169.6 inches (4,309 mm) from nose to tail. This practical vehicle comes with a 1.6-liter engine sending power to the front wheels by way of a continuously variable transmission. It’s also one of the cheapest new vehicles on the market, yet still comes with a solid suite of driver assists like automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring. Higher trims even include a speaker built into the driver’s headrest. Loading … Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ SEE ALSO: 2022 Toyota GR86 First Drive Review: Old-School, Evolved Yes, really: the Toyobaru twins are some of the shortest cars on sale, measuring an identical 167.9 inches (4,265 mm) front to back. The Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ both saw an upgrade for 2022, with new exterior styling and a more modern interior. More important is a switch to a bigger 2.4-liter flat-four engine, which spits out 228 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. You don’t need to remortgage the home to pick up one of these stylish coupes, either: prices start from $28,725 ($33,280 CAD) for the Toyota, including destination. Loading … Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore SEE ALSO: 2020 Buick Encore GX Review: Pint-Size Premium SUV Sure is Pricey General Motors’ two pint-sized crossovers slide into the top half of this list. The Chevrolet Trax is the smaller of the two, measuring 167.6 inches (4,257 mm). The Encore adds 0.8 inches (19 mm) to that tally. Both come with a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, and your choice of front or all-wheel drive. For around the same amount of cash, you can upgrade to their more spacious siblings, the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Buick Encore GX. Both of those bigger models just missed the cut here. Loading … Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X SEE ALSO: 2020 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk Review: Son of Wrangler Just because you want small, doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t want an off-roader. Of the vehicles on this list, Jeep’s Renegade is easily the most capable when the tarmac runs out. Its tiny 166.6-inch (4,232-mm) length means it’s an agile off-roader, especially in pricey Trailhawk trim. Sticking to the road? There’s Fiat’s lone surviving model, the 500X, which shares its platform with the Jeep. It’s a scant 0.6 inches (15 mm) longer. Loading … Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV SEE ALSO: 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV Review Chevrolet holds the crown with the smallest dedicated EV on the market—but not, as you’ll see later on this list, the tiniest electron-muncher overall. The Bolt EV has been with us for a few years now, with a facelift in 2022. The EUV—6.3 inches longer, slightly taller—is new for the same model year. It’s the same basic (pre-Ultium) EV platform underneath, but massaged for the market’s continued SUV craze. No matter which one you pick, you’ll find a spacious, airy cabin, and over 245 miles (394 km) of range. Loading … Kia Soul SEE ALSO: 2020 Kia Soul Review The only Kia to make this list is the brand’s funky Soul. The hamsters may be gone for this third-generation model—and Kia’s now taken to calling it a crossover, for marketing reasons—but this little helmet on wheels is still as practical and funky as ever. Inside you’ll find a standard 8.0-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. The base 2.0-liter engine is fine, but we’d recommend the turbocharged 1.6-liter for urgent progress. Canadians even have access to a Soul EV. Loading … Hyundai Venue SEE ALSO: 2020 Hyundai Venue Review As above, the other mainstream Korean brand has but one entry on this list. We’re fans of Hyundai’s pint-sized Venue, which comes with surprisingly spacious interior and funky, denim-inspired interior trim. At just 159.1 inches (4,040 mm) from tip to tail, it’s one of only four models under the 160-inch mark. The Venue isn’t fast, with a 1.6-liter engine producing just 121 horsepower, but it’s good on gas, and one of the most affordable new cars on the market. Loading … Mitsubishi Mirage SEE ALSO: 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage Review: Fitness for Purpose Sometimes, you just need a car to get you from A to B. That’s the Mitsubishi Mirage manifesto. This back-to-basics hatchback is small (151.4 inches / 3,845 mm), modestly-powered (1.2-liter three-cylinder, 78 hp), and cheap (around $15,000 to start, including destination, on either side of the border). Sure, you’re not going to find massaging seats or the latest in tech, but every trim above the base includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can at least use your phone for all your entertainment needs. The Mirage still includes plenty of modern safety tech too, so you can feel secure as it putters its way to your destination. Loading … Mini 2 Door and 4 Door SEE ALSO: Mazda MX-30 vs Mini Cooper S E Comparison: Big Style, Small Range The Mini hardtop range is kind of all over the place size-wise. At its tiniest, the 2-Door (3-Door in Bieberland) is 151.1 inches (3,837 mm) long, but it gains a couple dozen millimeters as you move up the trim lines. The Mini E is also slightly longer. Adding an extra set of doors makes the Mini seem much bigger, leading to a whole helping of “that’s not very mini” jokes that are so fresh. Even opting for a top-trim 4-Door makes it just a single millimeter longer than the Venue, however. Cars have all grown, so the Mini is off the hook to us. Besides, it’s a fun-to-drive hatchback, with lots of space up front and a good range of available technology. Loading … Chevrolet Spark The Chevrolet Spark is the most affordable new car you can buy, and that’s because you’re buying the least amount of new car. The Bow Tie baby is a full 8.0 inches shorter than the already-small Mini, so you’re looking at a 143.1-inch-long (3,635-mm) car. That shouldn’t be too hard to slot into the garage, right? For the low price of $14,595, the Spark still packs in a 1.4-liter engine with a raging 98 hp, a five-speed manual transmission, and 7.0-inch touchscreen with phone mirroring. You won’t find much in the way of driver assists, however—for that, you’ll need to much up the trim walk. Loading … Become an AutoGuide insider.

We already spied the mid-cycle facelift for the Kia SOUL. The current generation SOUL was launched on November 2018.

It’s okay to admit it: some cars are just better-looking than others. We know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. But it’s safe to say some cars appeal to more people than others. The cars that make you turn around for another look every time you park them up. The ones that get the all-knowing nod from passersby. The best-looking cars make us feel good every time we’re in them, and what price can you put on that sort of happiness? SEE ALSO: Top 10 Affordable Cars with Surprisingly Higher-End Interiors All that said, listed alphabetically below are the 10 new cars we at AutoGuide think are the most aesthetically pleasing, Don’t agree, or have some suggestions of your own? Sound off in the comments. Alfa Romeo Giulia SEE ALSO: 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio: Still the Sporty SUV Summit Any list of the prettiest cars will have an Italian or two on it, and this one’s no exception. The Alfa Romeo Giulia has been making knees weak for a few years now. Great sedan proportions pair with pert styling, and that unmistakeable Alfa shield grille up front. Let’s not forget those achingly cool telephone-dial wheels, either. Naturally, the Giulia looks good in red, but Alfa also offers it in other fun colors, like green and yellow. The base 2.0-liter turbocharged model is a nicer drive than the equivalent 3 Series, but the Quadrifoglio is the one that gets all the attention. Loading … BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe SEE ALSO: 2022 BMW Alpina B8 Review: The B Stands for ‘Best’ Okay, it’s not a coupe, but when the 8 Series four-door looks this good, we’re willing to forgive its name. BMW has had some … questionable design decisions of late, yet this big four-door is a beaut. A long, low hood and wide taillights give the 8 serious presence—and it’s still plenty practical, too. Available with six- and eight-cylinder power, the 8GC is the mode of transport for when the 5 Series seems too dull. Inside you’ll find a richly appointed interior, especially in rare Alpina form, which comes with one of the finest cabins we’ve seen this side of a Bentley. Loading … Genesis GV80 SEE ALSO: Genesis GV80 vs BMW X5 Comparison: The Luxury Argument Want a mid-size luxury SUV that looks at home at the opera valet? The Genesis GV80 blends right in with the big-timers, even if it doesn’t break the bank. Starting around $50,000, the Korean brand’s first SUV comes correct with knockout styling. The simple twin-line lighting elements exude confidence. The wheels and grille are all big and bold. The concave tailgate is meant to evoke a classic muscle car. It’s a product that immediately stands out amongst a crowded segment. Loading … Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEE ALSO: 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 First Drive Review: The Future is Now We can’t help but gush about the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Just look at it. This retro-futuristic slice of awesome is unlike anything on the road, a concept car brought to market with surprisingly few changes. High points include the intricate wheels, the camera-shutter arches, and that full-width LED grid for the taillights. Hyundai has been increasingly adventurous with its styling the last few years, but it’s the Ioniq 5 that pulls every element together best. And did we mention the color-changing teal paint? Loading … Jaguar F-Type SEE ALSO: 2020 Genesis G90 Review: a Second Crack at Premium Luxury From vertical to horizontal. That’s the best way to explain the changes that Jaguar wrought on its F-Type sports car’s face a few years ago. Out went the original headlights, and in came slinky, ultra-low units. It gives the F-Type an even more aggressive nose—maybe not as unique as before, but as an overall package, the F-Pace is still a deeply sexy beast. And that’s before you even thumb the starter button, when the V8—now the only engine option in North America—erupts into life. Jaguar could bottle that sound and sell it. Loading … Kia K5 SEE ALSO: 2021 Kia K5 GT-Line AWD Review: A Covetable Mainstream Sedan? As the market has gone ever more crossover-crazy, manufacturers have been throwing more and more at sedans to keep them interesting. Take Kia, for example: it ditched the dowdy Optima for the dramatic K5, a sedan with a coupe-like body and a front fascia that wouldn’t look out of place on a modern muscle car. It’s edgy and busy, but works surprisingly well, especially in K5 GT form. Here the Kia mid-sizer picks up bigger wheels and a quartet of exhaust tips, plus a discreet rear spoiler. Plant the throttle and the 290-horsepower K5 GT won’t give onlookers much time to admire its styling… Loading … Lexus LC SEE ALSO: 2021 Lexus LC Convertible Review: A Future Classic Lexus continues to surprise us. If you had told us a decade ago, as the LFA went out of production, that the Japanese luxury brand would be the last to craft a naturally-aspirated, V8-powered grand tourer, and that it would be one of the best-looking cars out there, full stop, we wouldn’t have believed you. But that’s precisely what Lexus has done. The LC is outstanding to look at, beautiful from every angle. We’d even say the convertible is the better option, erasing the too-tapered roof of the coupe. It has a singing voice that matches those movie star looks, too. Even Lexus’ sub-par infotainment system can’t dull the LC’s shine. Loading … Lucid Air SEE ALSO: 2022 Lucid Air EV Posts EPA-Confirmed 520-Mile Range The Hyundai isn’t the only EV that’s warmed our cold, dead hearts this year. Now that we’ve seen it in person, the Lucid Air falls firmly in the “pretty” category here at AutoGuide. It’s a big ‘un, which allows its simple lines room to breathe. The minimalist detailing and limited color palette speak clearly of luxury. Once you pop the door and sit inside, the ultra-airy cabin only reaffirms the Air’s place in the market. This EV ensures drivers and passengers will travel in style, up to 520 miles per charge Loading … Mazda3 SEE ALSO: Honda Civic vs Mazda3 Comparison Let’s head back down to the affordable part of the market. Mazda is here to ensure that you don’t need to spend six figures to have a good-looking car. The Mazda3 is achingly pretty in hatchback form, its piercing stare and complex-surfaced sides elevating it far beyond its humble $24,000-ish starting price. Mazda does sleek sophistication, not shouty. That’s true inside as well, where the 3 has one of the nicest interiors of any car we’ve tested under $40,000. It’s the very definition of “less is more.” Loading … Volvo XC40 SEE ALSO: 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge Review: First Drive You want cool? You want crisp? You want a Volvo, specifically the brand’s smallest crossover, the XC40. Just as the Swedes were rediscovering curves, the brand throws a curveball in the form of the boxy XC40. But as the wide-leg jeans and oversized shirts of today show, boxy is in. The XC40 looks fun and approachable, especially with a contrasting roof. The interior is chock-full of clever storage solutions too, so this one is about more than just looks. It’s the whole package, one that even comes with an available all-electric option.
