So you’re in the market for a new car and want one that’ll keep you and your loved ones safe—and oh yeah, you don’t have a lot of cash to burn—what do you do? Follow Automotive.com’s 10 safest vehicles for under $20k list. These are cars that won’t break the bank and will (hopefully) keep you in one piece should you get in to an accident. All of the cars on this list have received a “Top Safety Pick” designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. With many new and good options out there, we sifted through the pack to bring you the safest, cheapest, new cars.
For consistency purposes, we selected the entry-level models available for every car, meaning if you want to add a lot of fancy equipment, expect to pay more. But most impressively, our number one on the list will only run you a shade over 14 grand to start, while our number 10 pick will still cost you less than $17k, commendable in its own right.
