Argentina's 10 cheapest SUVs in August

The automotive industry has seen a significant shift towards Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs), leading to a broad diversification within this segment. Crossovers and compact SUVs (segment B) are now common, alongside medium (C) and larger vehicles (D) often equipped for seven passengers.

This trend is evident in market performance: in 2025, SUVs constituted half of the top 20 best-selling models in Argentina. The remaining best-sellers were a mix of compact cars, pickups, and utility vehicles.

Automakers have adapted by expanding their SUV portfolios to compete in this growing market, even though SUVs generally carry higher prices than compact hatchbacks. The article identifies the 10 most affordable SUVs available in Argentina for August, using their official list prices.

The most accessible SUV is the Chinese-made JAC S2, priced at US$20,900, equivalent to approximately $31,768,000 Argentine pesos. Following closely is the Kaiyi X3, a compact SUV from another Chinese brand, with an entry-level price of US$20,000.
