Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Predicted Cost: $60,000
Chevrolet is known as one of America’s most reliable car companies and is often associated with efficiency and the all-American ethos. While most of their car models include SUVs, entry-level vehicles and even the Mustang competitor — Camaro. The Chevrolet Stingray isn’t one of the brand’s standard cars though, it is a true supercar, part of its Corvette line, with a top speed of 194 miles per hour, 490 horsepower. In-terms of its weight and fuel capacity, the Stingray has a curb weight of 3,535 pounds and holds 18.5 gallons of fuel. You can get the Stingray with its devilish performance for around $60,000.
The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray goes from zero to sixty in less than three seconds and has an expansion called Z51 that adds sports suspension, a better cooling system, large brake rotors, and a sports exhaust. If you don’t mind people staring at you and asking really weird questions when you’re fueling it a gas station, there’s a great chance you’ll love this red beast.
Cadillac CT4
Predicted Cost: $70,000
Another brilliant sedan from the all-American car maker is the 2020 Cadillac CT4. The car is a sharp and stylish entry-level sedan that gives you the feeling of luxury and the performance of sports at the meager starting price of $35,000. The CT4 has a 2.0-liter supercharged four-cylinder engine with 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. You can also go for the premium version of the car and get 325 horsepower for a premium price.
In-terms of the interiors and tech, Cadillac made sure that the dashboard was as user-friendly as possible. It's cheaper than the Audi A3 and the Mercedes A-Class, but we don't see the CT4 becoming more popular than its German counterparts. If you're looking for a fantastic entry-level sedan, the 2020 Cadillac CT4 might just be the right one for you. On the other hand, if you’re looking for the best that Cadillac has to offer and are willing to go for a much higher price tag, the ATS-V makes the CT4 run away in tears.
Lincoln Aviator
Predicted Cost: $51,100
The 2020 Lincoln Aviator is one of the most compelling SUV in recent years, with a fantastic combination of performance, comfort, and technology, the Aviator is truly a flying success for the Lincoln brand. If you're looking for a truly powerful SUV, you'll be happy to know that you can get up to 494 hp and 630 lb-ft of torque from this one. You can find this one for a starting price of around $50,000 but you might end up paying almost $90,000 if you go for the full set of additions.
The 2020 Aviator has about what you’d expect in terms of fuel economy with 18 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway. The car is highly praised for its high-tech headlights and the Lincoln-standard feature of being able to use your phone as a key to the car. It seems that the Aviator really did manage to bring back the “American Luxury” status that the company was known for in its heyday.
Hyundai Venue
Predicted Cost: $17,000
The 2020 Hyundai Venue is one of the cheaper cars on our list. At a starting price of under $20,000, this entry-priced vehicle is the newest addition to Hyundai’s line of vehicles. It’s a modest vehicle with a lot of potential and a surprising amount of tech. The Venue comes in three versions, the SE at $18,000, SEL at $20,000 and the Denim at $23,000. In-terms of performance, you're looking at a modest 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with around 121 horsepower and 113 lb-ft of torque. The Venue definitely squeezes some great mileage out of its fuel, with 30 miles per gallon in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.
You'll also be happy to hear that the car supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, including a great 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This compact car is doing a great job justifying the price and consumers who are looking for a car that’s light on the price tag and can fit your family with ease, you should definitely give the Venue a test drive.
Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
Predicted Cost: $31,000
The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport takes the main complaint that has plagued the Atlas model for years — its boxy and boring look, and turns it upside down with a sexy and stylish design that compliments a very roomy interior. The car comes with two different engines, you can go for a 235 turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder or the 276-hp 3.6-liter V-6 one.
The performance of the Atlas does leave a bit to be desired when compared to other vehicles in its price range. It goes from zero to sixty in 7 to 8 seconds, depending on the package. Despite its average performance, the car provides a very smooth ride and most drivers would definitely enjoy long road trips in this vehicle. Its fuel economy is also average, at 21 miles per gallon in the city and 24 on the highway. Based on consumer reviews and sentiment, it's clear that outside of the sleek new design, there's not too much else that was improved in the 2020 version of the car. Should you be interested in the 2020 Atlas? We’d give it a pass.
