Now, these alarming average new car prices aren’t indicative of pricing across body styles and brands; KBB data shows consumer choice was in no small part behind the increase, as the number of full-size trucks hit a five-year high through the end of 2025. U.S. buyers purchased over 233,000 full-size trucks in the fourth quarter of 2025, at an average price of $66,386. Similarly, the average EV sat around $58,034 through the end of 2025, further driving up the average new-vehicle transaction price.
Who are these people buying all these vehicles? I would NEVER consider spending that much on a car and I make decently above what the average household does…
$66k? For transportation?! I’m on year 11 of owning my 3 year pre-used car…
Well, some do.
A new Camry is $30k, half that.
