In the price range up to 30 million pesos, two new cars stand out in Argentina in the segment with automatic transmission: the Citroën C3 VTi AT Feel Pack and the Hyundai HB20 Comfort Plus AT 1.6. Both models offer the positioning of "affordable" cars on the market, a compact size and an attractive price.
**Citroën C3 VTi AT Feel Pack** The car's value is 29.66 million pesos, which makes it one of the most affordable new cars with an automatic transmission in its class. The model is positioned as a budget option for those who want comfortable driving without significant additional costs. The 1.6-liter engine with 123 horsepower is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and delivers excellent fuel economy and dynamic performance.
According to industry analysts, this is the main and most obvious feature that makes the Citroën C3 a popular choice for buyers. The car enters the market with a C-Cubo brand identity, oriented towards a young audience with a wide interior, a modern design and a controlled price. Dealers offer leasing and installment plans for buyers of used cars, which significantly lowers the barrier to entry.
**Hyundai HB20 Comfort Plus AT 1.6** The second model, also priced under 30 million pesos, is the Hyundai HB20 Comfort Plus AT 1.6, which costs 29.9 million pesos. This hatchback is recommended as a practical option for city driving and short trips. The model offers a balance between practicality and economy, as well as standard safety features: stability control, ABS, driver and front passenger airbags, and assistance when going downhill.
Its 1.6-liter engine with 115 horsepower works in tandem with a 6-speed automatic transmission. A key feature is the 10-inch multimedia display with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without a dongle. Hyundai also actively promotes a special credit program: up to 10 million pesos for up to 10 months at a promotional rate (terms are specified on the site).
**Credit Offers** Both brands offer attractive financial solutions. Citroën offers fixed installments in pesos and equal monthly payments, while Hyundai offers rates with banks for up to 50% of the car's value. These measures help make the models' accessibility more attractive, with high import content, dollarized parts, and comprehensive insurance.
Ultimately, the Citroën C3 VTi AT Feel Pack stands out for its minimalist style, while the Hyundai HB20 Comfort Plus AT 1.6 is distinguished by its aggressive front design and sporty reflexes. Both cars are positioned as attractive options for new car buyers in the entry-level segment, without any desire to look for more expensive classes.
