Today’s mainstream compact cars offer high-dollar tech at an affordable price point. To aid shoppers in choosing an affordable vehicle that is loaded with tech features, Kelley Blue Book have named this year’s 10 Tech-Savviest Cars Under $20,000.
“Many inexpensive new cars now feature technology that was unavailable at any price just a few years ago,” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com. “Today budget-conscious car buyers can purchase an affordable sedan with amenities like a rearview camera, Pandora radio integration and full infotainment systems, items previously only available in top-of-the-line models.”

Redesigned for 2014, the Mazda3 is ranked No. 1 for being a fun, stylish tech champion. The Mazda3 is the only model in the compact car segment to offer a head-up display. In addition, the model’s full-feature, intuitive infotainment suite is the only system in a car under $30,000 to offer a controller in the center console, something usually seen in luxury models from automakers like Audi and BMW.
