Cash-strapped families desperate for a new vehicle should look no further than these models, according to experts. New car prices are coming down slightly after a peak in 2021-22 meaning now could be the best time to secure a new machine.<\/p>\n

However, costs are still significantly higher than pre-2020 where Covid and semiconductor shortages led to supply issues. From a flash Fiat to a reliable Skoda,\u00a0Kia\u00a0or Vauxhall,\u00a0specialists at Heycar have identified the cheapest family models owners can get their hands on.<\/p>\n

Dacia Logan MCV<\/h3>\n

This was the UK\u2019s cheapest family car with prices starting at a tempting \u00a310,745, However, the Romanian manufacturer is no longer selling the MCV new meaning interested buyers will need to look at the second-hand car market.<\/p>\n

The model is low on power with just 98bhp, meaning it will take between 10 and 15 seconds to reach 0-60mph. But, this could be ideal for those on low budgets with a generous 60 mpg fuel economy rate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dacia Duster<\/span><\/h3>\n

This model is slightly more expensive than the Logan MCV, coming in at just under \u00a314,000.<\/p>\n

However, the machine is part of the small SUV crossover range with a soft suspension making it ideal for longer trips.<\/p>\n

Fuel economy is in the low 40s on the petrol models but the diesel version will offer 58 mpg for those looking for a larger tank.<\/p>\n

Fiat Tipo<\/h3>\n

Hitting the roads for the first time back in 2016, the Tipo is one of the cheapest models families can get their hands on.<\/p>\n

According to Heycar, the Topi features a soft suspension, light steering and lots of usable space.<\/p>\n

The model has around 118bhp and can be picked up for around \u00a315,000.<\/p>\n

Skoda Scala<\/span><\/h3>\n

Starting from \u00a317,265, the model is much cheaper than its direct rival and one of the UK’s most popular models, the Ford Focus.<\/p>\n

Diesel models have an impressive fuel economy of 60 mpg with petrol models just slower at around 50 mpg.<\/p>\n

However, the car comes with a spacious 467 litres of loadspace making it ideal for day trips and holidays.<\/p>\n

Hyundai i30<\/h3>\n

Looking for a hassle-free car? The Hyundai i30 may be the one for you with an unlimited mileage five-year warranty thrown in when bought from new.<\/p>\n

The model comes with a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating with good protection for adult and child occupants.<\/p>\n

Priced at \u00a317,400, petrol models will return around 50 mpg with diesel vehicles up at 60 mpg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kia Ceed<\/h3>\n

The Ceed is a great option for those looking for a few added luxuries with a touchscreen infotainment system with AppleCarPlay and AndroidAuto built-in.<\/p>\n

Safety features like a semi-automatic braking system and reversing cameras are also installed despite being priced at just over \u00a318,000.<\/p>\n

Renault Megane<\/h3>\n

The gorgeous Megane is one of the best looking family cars on the market making this an ideal purchase for those looking to ride in style.<\/p>\n

Prices now start at just under \u00a319,000 and offer enough comfy features to keep all the family happy.<\/p>\n

A 384-litre boot is also encouraging but the sloping roof may make sitting in the rear a tight fit for older children.<\/p>\n

What else?<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t fancy any of those? HeyCar has also encouraged families to consider the SEAT Leon at \u00a319,855.<\/p>\n

The new Vauxhall Astra is one of the nation’s most popular cars and it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/p>\n

Diesel models offer an epic 64 mpg and a comfy drive for just over \u00a319,000. The Citroen C3 Aircross is also selected but is a bit pricier at around \u00a319,190.<\/p>\n
