Cheap Minivans

Ultimate family vehicle

The cheap minivans may not be quite as popular as it was in years past, but it is far from a dead vehicle segment. Crossover SUVs especially have been encroaching on the areas that minivans once held a monopoly on; which is practical and convenient driving for families.

Vans still offer some benefits that even crossover SUVs can't, and to get these vehicles at an affordable price, people will certainly be asking which minivans are worth a look at the dealership. Here are the most affordable minivan vehicles for sale in 2012:

Top New Cheap Minivans in 2012
Model Name Starting MSRP Range Max City / Hwy MPG
2012 Mazda 5
Mazda 5 $19,625 - $24,025 21 / 28

The cheapest new car deals on minivans are for the 2012 Mazda 5. The Mazda 5 is designed for families that need the space and utility of a minivan, but don't have such a large family. It has three rows of two seats, and its smaller design gives it a slight boost in gas mileage over the others.

The 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan is a revamped model year for one of the most successful minivans in history. This year's edition starts at $20,995, and along with the Mazda 5 that starts at $19,625, these are the only vans you can get as cars under $20000.

The 2012 Toyota Sienna has a bit more utility than the rest of this lineup, due to its option to come as an AWD minivan. It is the only minivan on the market to offer this feature, and supplies it with a little extra muscle on the road.

There are several solid options as far as minivans go, but each is a little different and worth a look. Which one is best really depends on your specific situation, and each van has its own strengths and weaknesses.
