Smaller sedans, thanks to packages that revolve around practicality and efficiency, are usually the top-of-mind choice among people looking for a starter car or a basic daily driver. Affordability is a major factor here, too, but mainstream choices like the Toyota Vios, the Honda City, and the Mazda 2 can still be outside a lot of buyers’ budgets.
Thankfully, the segment’s popularity means there’s a plethora of choices even at lower price points. We’ve compiled a list of sedans you can own for less than P13,000 a month with some help from the BPI Auto Loan Calculator (15% down payment, 60 months to pay).
If P13,000 per month sounds like your kind of budget, you’ll be very glad to know that models from top brands like Hyundai, Nissan, and Suzuki still managed to make the cut. Take your pick and let us know which sedan you went for in the comments.
