These indestructible models for less than €20,000

At one time, with €20,000 you could have access to a lot of new cars. Today, this is no longer the case. Instead, you still have the choice between several recent and reliable models. Here is our selection. For this selection, we had the same requirement of reliability. The fragile models which are incriminated in our in-house scale have all been dismissed. Let’s start right away with:

Fuel : Diesel

Seen second hand : We saw a Business version from 2017 with 73,000 km on the clock at a price of €19,990. The BMW X1, like all the others, follows the market price. Its prices have increase on the second hand market. However, you should know that on this model, the offer is abundant, in particular thanks to the success of the LLD (long term rental). On the second hand market, you will find many finished X1s Business which combines the diesel engine of 150 ch to the excellent automatic transmission BVA8. This is not a bad thing since this mixture is very reliable, pleasant daily, tonic and icing on the cake, very about.

Fiscal power : 5 CV
DIN power : 125 ch

Consumption : 5.9 l/100 km
Crit’Air : 1
Seen second hand : We saw a 2021 Titanium version with 23,000 km on the clock at a price of €21,590. The strong point of Ford is, among other things, the presence in their range of the small engine Flexifuel which accepts as well unleaded what of l’E85. Preferred E85 if you wish not to murder every time you go to the pump. On the other hand, fill the unleaded tank when you want your Puma to be as sober as possible. The other side of the coin is that this version is sold on the second-hand market. Around the 20 000 €you will have to look towards the versions Titanium.

DIN power : 136 ch

Crit’Air : electric car
Seen second hand : We saw an Active Business version from 2020 with 31,000 km on the clock at a price of €21,390. It is one of the electric cars having most successful in our regions. This is Peugeot’s response to Renault’s Zoé. The Peugeot e-208 is vive and offers sharp accelerations. Regarding its battery, it is guaranteed eight years or 160 000 km. Know that she is asking 31 h to be recharged on sector et 8 h on a terminal 7.4 kWh. With this battery, the e-208 offers 267 km of autonomy. If this proves to be sufficient on a daily basis, it does less well than the competition at this level.

Type : Hybrid
Fiscal power : 4 CV
DIN power : 122 ch
Maximum speed : 167 km/h
Consumption : 5.5 l/100 km
Crit’Air : 1
Seen second hand : We saw a Dynamic Business version from 2019 with 48,000 km on the clock at a price of €19,990. The Japanese brand is also affected by the price surge on its models on the second-hand market. If the Prius is at the heart of the storm, the Corolla is spared. At least for now. A surprising thing when you know that the Corolla does better than the Prius in terms of interior and exterior look. On the mechanical side, it even uses the same mechanics renowned for its very high reliability. Around 20 000 €you will mainly find the versions Active, not very interesting and Dynamic, better endowed. With the latter, you have automatic headlights and wipers, aluminum rims, reversing camera and Bluetooth. If you take the declination Business You also have GPS and hands-free starting.

Volkswagen T-Roc 2.0 TDI 150 DSG 7 4motion Lounge 2017
Engine : 1.5 TSI DSG
Type : Essence
Fiscal power : 8 CV
DIN power : 150 ch
Maximum speed : 196 km/h
Consumption : 8 l/100 km
Crit’Air : 1
Seen second hand : We saw a Lounge version from 2018 with 85,000 km on the clock at a price of €21,490. The gasoline engine 1.5 l TSI of the T-Roc is very flexible, especially when the latter is accompanied by the DSG7 automatic transmission. The icing on the cake is that this cocktail turns out to be solid. On the other hand, Volkswagen’s compact SUV disappoints finishing. If the space on board turns out to be generous, the equipment, for its part, is not up to par. In the entry-level version, the T-Roc does not have aluminum rims, automatic air conditioning or even a parking radar. So choose the finish above, namely the Lounge.
