Kelley Blue Book Editors Choose Favorite Affordable Cars with Luxury Feel

IRVINE, CA -- July 21, 2015: The editors from Kelley Blue Book recently assembled their list of the 10 Most Comfortable Cars Under $30,000.

"Our annual 'comfy cars' list is compiled of vehicles that have a luxury feel without draining the bulk of a consumer's monthly income," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com. "Our choices include vehicles that offer a comfortable driving experience, a roomy interior and the modern technological conveniences of luxury cars, yet at a more wallet-friendly price point."

The Kelley Blue Book Editorial staff created a list compiled of stand-out vehicles that are great choices for daily commutes and extended vacation road trips. The KBB.com team considered features such as a smooth drive, technology and seat comfort. A few of the list's notable contenders include the newly redesigned Toyota Camry and the Hyundai Sonata, as well as the Nissan Altima, with its "Zero Gravity" front seats inspired by NASA research.

Also included in this smooth driving, easy riding list of vehicles are a few of Kelley Blue Book's Best Buys for 2015, specifically Midsize Sedan winner, the 2015 Honda Accord, Small SUV winner, the 2015 Honda CR-V, and Full-Size Car champion, the 2015 Chevrolet Impala.

The vehicles on the list all have a Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price that starts below $30,000 as of June 2015. Updated weekly and based on current market conditions like vehicle availability, local demand and seasonal buying trends, the Kelley Blue BookŪ Fair Purchase Price shows shoppers what others have been paying for a new car recently and is included in KBB.com's Price Advisor tool, which provides range-based market pricing.
