2021 Chevrolet Malibu

The 2021 Malibu is the second most affordable model in Chevy’s lineup. It has a sensible starting price of $22,270, which makes it a feasible investment if you’re on a modest budget. It delivers more horsepower and space, and only a bit less efficiency, than the smaller Spark.

With its roomy cabin and interior luxuries like an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat, a wireless charging pad, and noise-muting triple-sealed doors, the Malibu is sure to make you feel at home on all your journeys. Choose the available 250-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and nine-speed automatic transmission for a responsive driving experience.

2021 Chevrolet Colorado

The third most budget-friendly buy in the Chevy lineup is the 2021 Colorado. It starts at $25,200, making it an affordable choice compared with other midsize pickup trucks like the Toyota Tacoma, Honda Ridgeline, and Nissan Frontier.

The Colorado embodies noteworthy capability and decent efficiency if you don’t need the bulk or brawn of its larger sibling, the Silverado 1500. When you bring home this truck, you get an available maximum payload rating of 1,550 pounds, an available maximum cargo rating of 49.9 cubic feet, and an available V6 trailering rating of 7,000 pounds. When equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 engine and 2WD, it achieves 25 mpg on the highway.
