When talking about class, cars that tend to be brought up are usually big Sedans or GT-cruisers. Usually these cars are out of the reach of your usual buyer. So here’s the question: What’s the classiest new car you can buy for under $25,000?

Also, while there are many different definitions of class, for the purposes of this, we’ll be looking at cars that have generally handsome styling, and a good level of driver/passenger comfort.

For me, the classiest new car for under $25k has to be the Mazda6. for the given budget, a buyer can get themselves in to a very nicely equipped Mazda6 Touring with a 6-speed manual transmission! It looks amazing, has good driving characteristics, and is a comfortable long-distance machine

The Optima EX is pretty classy, especially in maroon.

Why buy new when you can buy a used luxury super sedan for the same price? s/

Mazda 6 is an excellent choice. Buick Verrano could probably make the list. Was going to add Ford Taurus but it’s a bit too expensive.

I concur. Mazda 6 is pretty classy for not being a luxury car.

The Fusion is also quite handsome in white, you can get an SE with an appearance package for that money:

I agree, not just because I own one. I think the smartest thing Kia ever did was lure Peter Schreyer away from VW.

Yes. Mazda can do no wrong at the moment. Every new car is light and a sensible size for the segment, gorgeous and great to drive, well priced and well equipped.
