These are the 12 best new cars for 2019 that cost $75,000 or less

Starting price: $24,300

Autotrader's analysis: "Ford has resurrected the Ranger name for 2019 and this version is not stuck in the 90s. This Ranger is a competent and agile little brother to the well-established Ford F-150. As the right combination of work-ready and everyday-useful, the 2019 Ford Ranger is perfect for the needs of most Americans."

Starting price: $34,900

Autotrader's analysis: "The Genesis G70 had the editors at Autotrader uttering a series of 'inconceivable' proclamations every time they got behind the wheel. And this time, it does mean what they think it means. The G70 packs a lot of fun into a tidy package and does it for a reasonable price. The interior is a highlight that rivals cars costing tens of thousands of dollars more, but at this price, it’s a no brainer the G70 made the Best New Cars for 2019 list."

Starting price: $37,800

Autotrader's analysis: "The Sierra is staking out its own territory in the full-size pickup world. With unique features and a traditional but modern look, the Sierra is a great truck in the full-size pickup world. GMC’s Multi-Pro tailgate is more than just a parlor trick; it gives a wow factor to a feature that that has been taken for granted for years."

Starting price: $31,990

Autotrader's analysis: "Finally, 'sport' and 'utility' tangibly make sense together when describing the Honda Passport. Move over Pilot, the Passport’s rugged look is the newer, hotter version in town."

Starting price: $69,500

Autotrader's analysis: "If car shoppers are suddenly going to start buying electric cars based on things like attractiveness, fun, and a rewarding driving experience, the I-Pace is the EV to get them there. Tesla started the luxury electric car revolution, but Jaguar takes it to a whole new level."

Starting price: $61,150

Autotrader's analysis: "The GLE 450 is a luxury SUV that pulls no punches. The GLE 450 offers drivers the best of both worlds: off-road capabilities yet serene on the road. Equipped with forward-thinking technology, this luxury SUV is arguably the world’s most perfect car."

Starting price: $24,000

Autotrader's analysis: "Debuting innovative features, the Nissan Altima keeps the overall look of the car similar to previous models. Some highlights are the new high-tech turbo engine, all-wheel drive option, and driver assist features that landed this vehicle on the list. And we couldn’t forget Apple CarPlay and Android Auto."

Starting price: $31,795

Autotrader's analysis: "Combining brute strength with class-leading luxury, the Ram 1500 easily pushes other trucks to the side. A few distinguishable features include a high-end audio system, super soft leather, and a large touch screen — it all equals a really plush cab, added to an available 12,750-pound towing capacity."

Starting price: $31,995

Autotrader's analysis: "Surprise, the new Ascent isn’t really a surprise. Instead, the Subaru Ascent is exactly what Subaru owners have wanted for years: a three-row SUV that allows growing families to stay in the Subaru family."

Starting price: $25,500

Autotrader's analysis: "Not just redesigned, but the reinvented Toyota RAV4 is more dramatic and masculine look changes the character of the vehicle. If taken off-road, drivers will feel how engineers intentionally fused fun into the RAV4 formula. Roomy inside and reasonably priced, the RAV4 is an excellent compact SUV."

Starting price: $33,700

Autotrader's analysis: "The XC40 is a rolling playbook on how to take a luxury brand down-market while still holding your head high. The interior and driving dynamics are unique, making the vehicle feel more premium than its under-$40,000 price. An added bonus — you can get this car on a subscription plan, extending the Volvo vibe on the entire purchasing, owning, and exchanging experience."
