Dacia Spring
Are electric cars only for the high-income? to think! Renault subsidiary Dacia’s compact Spring in Romania ranks 11th on our list of budget hits: it provides essential electric mobility for everyone at prices starting at 19,990 francs. Of course, the only 44 hp Spring with a maximum range of 230 kilometers and a length of just 3.71 meters is designed primarily for the city. With its rugged looks, the cheapest Stromer in Switzerland also arouses a thirst for adventure – and even motorway stages are easily possible with a top speed of 130 km/h.

suzuki ignis
Our target list continues with the Suzuki Ignis – a mini SUV with a massive front and a staggering rear starting at CHF 19,490. As befits a crossover, it can also be ordered as an all-wheel drive vehicle. In the basic version, the Ignis is powered by a mild hybridized petrol engine delivering 83 hp (61 kW), which is quite adequate for this class. The feeling of spaciousness in the small four-seater is just as generous. Technically, the Ignis is on par with the drowsiness warning system, lane keepers, and emergency brake assist. And as an option, in addition to the 4×4, it is even offered with an automatic transmission.

VW Up
Here’s the Volkswagen of Volkswagen: With Up, the global company from 2011 has returned to the future, so to speak: to be mobile at a low price, like the successful Beetle. With a lively 65 hp (48 kW) and of course modern technology – from smartphone integration to emergency brake assist – everything moves dynamically through the streets. The cube-shaped Up body provides optimum space utilization and an incredible amount of luggage space. The small petrol engine is available from 18,650 francs. Its electric sibling, the VW e-Up, is one of the cheapest electric vehicles on the market at CHF 28,400 with a range of around 260 kilometers.

renault clio
Since production began in 1990, the Renault Clio has been one of Europe’s best-selling cars and, with 16 million units, the best-selling French small car of all time. Fifth generation jets with 90 hp (66 kW) fly through the streets with prices starting at CHF 18,400 – Renault has presented a completely revised version (picture) that will be available from the summer. Space is modest for a small car: if the front seat is adjusted for a 1.85 meter tall person, there’s ample legroom for rear passengers just under 1.75 metres. Still, with 250 liters of space in the trunk, the Clio is a small loading miracle.

skoda fabia
If you’re looking for a small car with more room in its class, Skoda’s current Fabia is the right choice. Even with its smallest, it follows the Czech VW subsidiary concept: current technology from the corporate shelf, but with a longer wheelbase and a wider interior. From the front, the Fabia looks dynamic and straight, with lots of colour, beautiful upholstery and lots of practical details inside. The 65 hp (48 kW) petrol engine naturally comes from VW. The price of the Fabia starts at 18,280 francs.

toyota aygo x
The X in Toyota’s Aygo X stands for Cross, and at just 3.90 meters long, this compact car indicates that it is a mini SUV. And the price of the crossover is also small, starting at 17,400 francs. The propulsion is a 72 hp (53 kW) three-cylinder, visually the Aygo X does a lot with the high front and two-tone paint. The five-seater is in the top league in terms of materials, workmanship and networking: This Toyota is also at the forefront of these disciplines, with smartphone integration, simple operation and convenient environment.
5
Fiat Panda
Fiat’s Panda is a kind of Swiss army knife in the small car segment: a design object if one of the many special models is available, and an economy car with maximum space utilization in the basic version. With all-wheel drive, it outperforms many off-road SUVs. The five-seater has been available for two years as a mild hybrid with an additional small electric motor and has 70 hp (51 kW). Highlights of Fiat Panda: The so-called hygiene package: The electric air filter filters micro particles in the cabin air and prevents bad odours. Neat little car available from CHF 16,290.
4
Dacia Sandero
Starting at 14,590 francs, the small car is no longer the cheapest car in Switzerland, as Swiss copies of the Dacia Sandero are better equipped from scratch. Sandero’s technology is donated by Renault Clio, the design of a team whose boss once had style at Aston Martin, and the materials in the interior are also beautifully polished. Navigation is via a smartphone, and emergency brake assist and blind spot warning come as standard.
3
Mitsubishi Space Star
After a few treats, the five-seater that debuted in 2010 still looks good and is still a bestseller at Mitsubishi. The Space Star is a small miracle of savings, not only with its price starting at 14,490 francs: as one of the few examples in its class, it underscores the five-liter in terms of fuel consumption without hybridization or similar expensive fuel-saving technology. Established. With 71 hp (52 kW) you are still fast and compact in the city. Space Star is also technically well equipped: smartphone integration, emergency braking system including pedestrian detection, lane keepers and auto-dimming high beam are standard on the car.

kia picanto
Strongly the same: Kia’s Picanto shares the technology with Hyundai’s i10 as a sister model. The five-seater already convinces with a sufficient amount of interior space: it looks upright rather than crouching, which provides, above all, a lot of headroom. The Picanto produces 67 hp (49 kW) and its steering is sharper than some rivals in its class. Starting at CHF 14,150, you can use even the smallest parking lot with narrow exterior dimensions of just 3.60 metres.
one
hyundai i10
Here comes the price breaker: You can’t buy a new car in Switzerland for less than the tiny Hyundai i10. The youngest in the South Korean group’s schedule, it started in a new generation just three years ago and offers plenty of room even in second place. The little poisonous dwarf with 67 hp (49 kW) earned the title of cheapest car in Switzerland for 13,990 francs.
