PHILADELPHIA - If you're looking for a cheap car with a large engine, consider a Honda. This affordable vehicle can easily fit your entire family and comes with all the features you need. It's even insurable - and holds its own against other SUVs. Honda's CR-V is a great choice for city and highway driving. The brand is also well known for its reliability and safety features.


Compact SUVs

With the popularity of SUVs on the rise, vehicle manufacturers have added new models to their lineups. Most of these additions are to the subcompact SUV segment. These vehicles are more practical, usable, and generally more affordable than larger ones. As a result, consumers are looking for cheaper cars that fit into this class. Below is a list of the ten cheapest SUVs on the market.

Subcompact SUVs have become popular, offering all-wheel drive capability, cargo space, and passenger room. The Hyundai Tucson is a popular option, powered by a 2.5-liter gasoline engine. It is also available in a plug-in hybrid version. Its interior features a spacious center console and a 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

If you're in the market for a new car, a Honda CR-V or a Subaru Outback is one of the cheapest cars to insure. The Honda Fit, Ford Escape, Jeep Wrangler, and Subaru Outback are also among the cheapest cars to insure for 2016. They all have a high degree of safety and come equipped with many kits.

The Subaru Forester is the cheapest car to insure in 2022. The 2.5I Wilderness trim of this compact SUV costs $1353 per year. The Toyota RAV4 is the most expensive car to insure for 2022.

Reliability

The best cars to insure for low insurance costs are those designed for families, such as SUVs and minivans.  These vehicles are known to be more reliable and are therefore less expensive to insure than luxury cars. The safety ratings of these vehicles are also higher, making them popular with families.

The Mazda CX-5 is a well-made and elegant vehicle with a low insurance cost. It has a high-reliability rating and costs approximately $1407 per year to maintain. The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan, on the other hand, has a poor reliability score, and its infotainment system is difficult to operate.

Safety

With its starting MSRP of $19,000, the Hyundai Venue SE is another safe option with a relatively low insurance premium of $1,360.

Subaru's Forester 2.5L Wilderness costs $1,353 annually, which is more than a third below the national average. The Outback 2.5I and Forester 2.5I Sport placed in the top 20 and are among the cheapest vehicles to insure. Subaru is known for developing advanced safety systems for its vehicles.
