Every year brings new technology features in vehicles. Most of them undeniably enhance a vehicle's modern appeal and safety, such as widescreen infotainment displays and safety systems that can automatically help prevent or mitigate accidents.
But these high-tech features also come with a higher price tag. The average national transaction price of a new vehicle in February was a little more than $37,000, an increase of about $5,700 in the past five years, according to Edmunds data.
Some of that price creep is due to the popularity of SUVs, which typically cost more than sedans. But the fact remains that if you want a high-tech car today, it can quickly get expensive. With that in mind, the experts at Edmunds have picked their favorite high-tech vehicles for under $36,000. These models get you the most for your money and still come in under the average transaction price.
