Budgetary Sedans of B-Class - War for Sales in Popular Class

The budgetary cars always attracted the most part of the population of the USA. Considering the today's huge competition in a class of the budgetary sedans, the buyer can hope for the equipment which was previously unavailable for inexpensive cars.

The market of the budgetary sedans of a B-class actively grows and offers more and more interesting novelties and unexpected options. Many global manufacturers organize their enterprises for release of inexpensive cars, thereby making the offers more available for the buyer. We will consider the TOP 5 most interesting models in this class.

Skoda Rapid - brand new model from the Czech company

Under the wing of the Volkswagen Audi concern the Czech brand Skoda gathered considerable turns, having bypassed in a number of the European countries of the patron. Popularity of new models of this brand constantly grows, and the price and technical aspects can be represented as the most worthy.

The inexpensive sedan located in the class B+ is constructed on the Polo platform, but the wheelbase is expanded by as much as 10 centimeters. It allowed Czechs to create the compact car with a big luggage space and capacious space for rear passengers. Among the main pluses of the Czech sedan of Skoda Rapid it is possible to mention the following criteria:

• remarkable design without extra pretentiousness, but with taste;
• excellent engines with brand German turbines and technological gear boxes;
• comfortable suspension, which is just slightly different from the older model of the company - Octavia;
• practical inner trim, only high quality materials.

The basic engine of Skoda Rapid 2013-2014 model year - 1.2 MPI. It is the petrol unit without turbines and the other innovations, giving-out 75 horsepowers. Fuel consumption on MKPP doesn't exceed 6 liters on 100 kilometers of run in the commixed cycle.

The price of the Czech novelty in the USA begins with modest 14 000 dollars. The most loaded version will cost to the buyer 21 300.

Volkswagen Polo Sedan - the German in the USA

After the first exit of this German budgetary sedan to the automobile world of the USA disputes concerning quality of a novelty didn't cease. But in practice available Volkswagen Polo Sedan appeared the hardy and reliable car.

Today we can already be based on responses of buyers who claim that Polo - the fine car for daily needs. Among the main features which attract potential buyers, it is possible to call the following:

• conservative appearance and world famous brand;
• rather qualitative interior with quite good technologies;
• simple, but hardy and reliable power unit;
• extremely low cost, both for the class and level of the car.

Today Volkswagen Polo Sedan has an exclusive engine. It is 1.6 MPI - the elementary petrol unit which we've known for a long time by models of Czech and the German manufacturer. Its rated capacity is 105 horsepower. The special attention is deserved by the version with the automatic transmission which cost in the USA begins from 17 300 dollars.

The price of the basic version with manual gearbox and without special technological innovations makes 14 000 dollars.

Citroen C-Elysee - a good sample of the French concern

One more European participant of our rating of the budgetary sedans is Citroen C-Elysee having the nickname "Eliseus". After the presentation last year the model gained considerable popularity among fans of low-cost technology with good facilities. One of the main advantages of model is the excellent design which separates the French offer from the main competitors.

The basic package offer is also good. It includes the following useful set of functions:

• impressive set of systems and safety functions;
• possibility to supply air conditioning, having paid in addition to 750 dollars;
• qualitative and practical inner trim.

It was expected that rather simple and comfortable Citroen C-Elysee will cause such activity of potential buyers. But fairly outdated equipment appeared a weak place of the car. The weak engine on 1.2 liters gives out 72 horsepowers, and the torque is limited by a mark in 110 N*m. In an active city stream it will be very difficult to disperse a car quickly.

The price of basic model taking into account interesting discounts and actions from the company makes 13 300 dollars. It is one of the most available budgetary sedans in the USA.

Nissan Almera is a guest from Japan

Production of the Nissan Almera car of new generation is also established in the USA. It caused its entry into a class of the budgetary sedans. Visually Almera applies for more expensive class. The car looks quite large and in some moments even premium. Drawing of front optics repeats solutions of Teana of last generation for example.

But in actual fact the sedan appears rather simple, comfortable and practical car for daily trips. Among the notable characteristics and technology of the basic version is worth noting the following points:

• ABS with the EBD function (Electronic Brake-force Distribution);
• power steering;
• resetting of a steering column on an inclination;
• electric windows.

You won't find the air conditioner and the good audio system in a basic set. But the space in interior beats all competitors. The Japanese sedan is rather big and capacious. And on the road he behaves nothing worse than any rival in a class.

The base price of Nissan Almera makes 13 500 dollars. It is a quite good indicator for the comfortable and big car.
