5th place: 2022 Hyundai Elantra Essential w/ manual transmission $17,999 + $1,725 in fees
The same scenario occurs with Hyundai as with Nissan. That is, the Elantra sedan, in base trim with manual gearbox, is priced lower than the Venue small SUV (with a manual transmission as well).
To which we say, again: It's amazing that a fully-equipped, quality compact sedan is cheaper to buy than a pimped-out Accent.
