Best affordable new cars under $35,000

There are few things more exciting than buying a brand new car, and that feeling could be closer than you think! Thanks to a range of affordable new cars for sale in New Zealand, hitting that major milestone is genuinely achievable. 

Having a brand new car can bring great peace of mind with manufacturer warranties and genuine service options ensuring you get off to the best start in your first few years of ownership.To help you achieve this dream, we’ve put together a list of options under $35,000 from the selection of trusted brands we work with.

Suzuki Swift Hybrid

Fuel-saving hybrid technology has now been around for so long that it’s not an expensive luxury. This is great for your wallet in more ways than one, especially now that small stars like the Suzuki Swift have been electrified for even more efficiency. 

Coming in at $27,990 before a Clean Car Discount that takes the price right down to $24,829.48, this hybrid hatchback is a great affordable option. It’s not light on features for that price either, with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating supported by features like adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera and so much more.

Kia Cerato LX

For something a bit bigger and just as safe the Kia Cerato LX is also an excellent option. Just squeaking under our $35,000 limit at $32,190, this sporty hatchback is packed with technology that means you’re getting a lot of car for your money. The list of safety features on its own is impressive and includes autonomous emergency braking and lane-keep assist as standard. 

On the powertrain side, the LX comes with a 2.0 litre engine and automatic transmission for smooth and easy power. Your investment is protected with a 5 year and 150,000 kilometre warranty too so you can get out on our great Kiwi roads and enjoy it.

Haval Jolion Premium

But what if you need a car that’s actually big? You can still get an SUV within that $35,000 budget we’ve set, with some money leftover too. The Haval Jolion Premium sells for $27,990 and you’re getting a lot of car for that money. 

The family-friendly SUV is powered by a 1.5 litre turbo engine and comes with everything you’d expect from a brand new car. It supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, has a reversing camera with sensors and it’s ready for motorway driving with adaptive cruise control. 

Nissan Juke ST

If you want to spend almost every dollar of that $35,000, the Nissan Juke ST is a feature-packed crossover with an eye-catching design that’s going to turn heads on your driveway. 

The Juke ST is the entry-level addition to the Juke lineup, but it has the same 1 litre turbo petrol engine as its more expensive partners and an almost unending list of toys and tools to keep you safe and happy. Key safety features include blind spot warning, intelligent emergency braking and forward collision warning among others, while the option to use either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay is an essential quality of life addition.
