Sun Sentinel Palm Beach Edition
5 fully loaded cars that are worth the price jump
For some vehicles, the juice hardly seems worth the squeeze on your wallet. But for others, the fully loaded version remains attractive even with the jump in price.
Here are the most enticing top-of-the-line vehicles for their price.
2021 KIA SOUL
The 2021 Kia Soul is a strong choice in the extrasmall SUV category, but upgrading to the top-end Soul Turbo comes with even more benefits. The Soul Turbo is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 201 horsepower — more than 50 horsepower over other Soul models. 2021 Kia Soul Turbo, MSRP: $28,825
2021 MAZDA 3
In any trim, the Mazda 3 is definitely a good buy for a small sedan. But the included safety equipment is what makes this trim really stand out. 2021 Mazda 3 2.5T Premium Plus, MSRP: $33,395
2021 HONDA RIDGELINE
Call it the Swiss Army knife of midsize trucks. The Ridgeline’s features include an in-bed storage trunk and a tailgate that can open one of two ways. Upgrading to the top-trim Ridgeline RTL-E gets you even more useful and clever features. 2021 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E, MSRP: $43,595 2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE
One of the champions of modern value is the Hyundai Palisade, a threerow SUV with a surprising amount of luxury for the price. That trend is only intensified on the Calligraphy trim, which includes a suede-like headliner and quilted-leather door panels. 2021 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy, MSRP: $47,385
2021 LEXUS ES
If you option the latest
ES sedan to its top trim, the Ultra Luxury, it begins to feel like a higher-tier vehicle. There’s even a special
suspension setup to reduce vibrations on the road. 2021 Lexus ES 350 Ultra Luxury, MSRP: $50,025
