Suzuki Ignis

9.0/10

From

$21,490

The striking Suzuki Ignis remains one of Australia's cheapest new cars, thanks to sub‑$20,000 pricing, while tall styling, lofty seating positions and (some) ground clearance also put it firmly into compact crossover territory. Updated in 2020, the Series II model scores a few visual updates, but the basic, cheap and cheerful recipe remains the same. However, AEB isn't yet available on any grade.

Increasingly, Australian buyers have fewer options to choose from if they want a brand new car for less than $40,000, especially in the small SUV segment. Enter the new MG ZS Hybrid+ Essence which combines a healthy features list with a reasonable price tag. But does affordable equal value?

Hyundai Venue

7.5/10

From

$22,500

The Venue is Hyundai's gateway drug ‑ its smallest, cheapest SUV offering which is designed to welcome people to the brand before they step up to bigger, and more expensive, vehicles. Small, cheap and cheerful? That sounds a lot like CarsGuide's own Andrew 'Chesto' Chesterton. So who better to put it to the long‑term test?
