New vehicle prices have significantly increased, with the average Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) reaching approximately $51,600. This surge is attributed to inflation, a shift towards more expensive SUVs and trucks, and the inclusion of advanced features in even entry-level models.

Despite these challenges, several models offer a combination of affordability and fuel efficiency, with 22 cars and SUVs available for under $30,000 that achieve 30 or more mpg. AI
