The Affordable New Cars With the Nicest Interiors
Between commuting, errands, and a place to escape on your lunch break, you spend a lot of time in your car. It might as well be a nice place to hang out. But many automakers reserve their best interior options for the absolute top trim luxury vehicles. Luckily for us, Autotrader just compiled a list of the absolute best interiors in cars under $50k. Iāll go over what makes some of them so nice, and what MotorBiscuitās reviewers had to say.
- Chevrolet Blazer EV
- Genesis G70
- GMC Acadia
- Hyundai Santa Fe
- Lincoln Nautilus
- Mazda CX-90
- Subaru Crosstrek
- Toyota Grand Highlander
- Toyota Tacoma
- Volkswagen Atlas/Atlas Cross Sport
The first non-luxury brand and non -EV on this list is the GMC Acadia. Yes, itās a full-size SUV. But it starts at just $43k. It offers three rows of seating and luxurious second-row captainās chairs. Its new 15-inch center screen is one of the best in the segment. Reviewers love the build quality of the interior as well: Jason Fogelson said, āGiant center stack, beefy steering wheel, cavernous interior. The Acadia finally feels like a worthy entry to the family of āProfessional Grade.āā
I bet you didnāt expect to see a Hyundai on this list. The automaker used to be a budget option, but has really upped its game recently. This SUV comes with second row captainās chairs for six seats in total. It also uses its 79.6 cubic feet of total cargo space very efficiently. My colleague Allison Barfield reviewed the Santa Fe and said, āSanta Fe stands out with a unique, attractive design and high-quality interior that provides plenty of space. Itās the perfect option for tech lovers with advanced features such as customizable interior ambient lighting and the digital key.ā Read Allisonās entire 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe review.
Enthusiasts have long known that Mazda rivals Toyota and Hondaās engineering and build quality. The CX-90 is the automakerās largest SUV. MotorBiscuitās Amanda Cline reviewed the 2024 Mazda CX-90: āOne thing is evident when you first get into the 2024 Mazda CX-90: the automaker put in a lot of work while designing this newĀ three-row SUV. All of the work Mazda did is evident as soon as you see the inside of the cabin.ā You can read Amandaās full review of the 2024 Mazda CX-90.
