New cars are set to be cheaper than ever this year thanks to the introductions of the free trade agreements with South Korea and Japan. Japanese carmakers are already reacting with updated prices that may initiate movements by brands choosing to import cars from other countries. At the end of 2014 Subaru made the first move by reducing the prices of its new Liberty and Outback by up to $14,000 and Toyota and Mazda have since slashed their prices as well to account for the heavily reduced import tariffs.
Here’s a list of the top 15 cheapest new 2015 cars based on the lowest dealership prices we could find in Australia for a make and model. Are you ready to find a good deal on your new 2015 car?
