4 Affordable Ford Models

Long lauded as an affordable brand, Ford manufactures cars and trucks designed to fit drivers from every walk of life. A glance at passing traffic on any given day yields a full spectrum of Ford automobiles: the first-time driver in a durable sedan; the rambunctious family of six sitting comfortably in an SUV; and the working man in his pickup truck with all his tools in the bed. Whether you need to keep it under $20,000 or you’re able to go up a little higher, there’s no doubt that a Ford can match your style, needs, and budget.

Ford F-150 XLT

The Ford F-150 is a mainstay in the country and the city, driven by working Joes, busy moms, and college kids. Its price is one reason for its popularity – go for the regular cab, and it’s possible to get this truck for less than $35,000. The extended cab and selected trim options increase the price but not enough to put it out of reach. The possible trims, colors, and sizes available make it versatile, as does a 4×4 option. It’s an economical choice fuel-wise as well, with an estimated EPA of 18 mpg city* and 25 mpg highway*.

C-Max Hybrid SE Wagon

Ford offers an increasing number of affordable hybrid and electric models. Even newer C-Max models are well within reach, typically going for under $30,000. The roomy wagon is ideal for medium-size families or anyone who needs a decent amount of space. Its real draw, however, is its environmentally friendly fuel economy. The front-wheel drive hybrid, with its 2.0-liter engine and impressive 188 horsepower, has a city rating of 42 mpg* and a highway rating of 37 mpg*.

Ford Fusion S

The newest Ford Fusion models are as affordable as older years, falling well under $25,000 at base level. This car is always a good bet, thanks to both its reputation for fuel economy and its versatility – you have the option of a plug-in hybrid powertrain, a full hybrid powertrain, or a gas-powered engine. With an estimated EPA of 22 mpg in the city*, the Fusion is a solid car for simply getting around. It really shines on the highway, where it averages 34 mpg*.

Ford Focus SE

A bit smaller than the Fusion, the Focus is a powerful little car with loads of standard features, including an abundance of airbags that increase its safety. It gets slightly better gas mileage than the Fusion as well, with an average of 26 mpg on city roads* and 36 mpg on the highway*. In many ways, its price is just the icing on the cake, but consider it the tastiest icing ever because the Focus usually starts out under $20,000. Considering the sedan easily seats five and boasts a 2.0-liter engine, it’s a worthwhile investment.

For dependability, durability, and safety, Ford vehicles make sense. Add affordability into the mix and it’s hard to say “no” to the idea of climbing behind the wheel. With a selection that includes trucks, SUVs, minivans, and hybrids, it seems like there’s a Ford to fit every driver.
