The answer
$48,000
Roughly $48K.
The average new vehicle sells for about $48,000, up from roughly $33,000 a decade ago. Part of that is inflation and part is mix: automakers largely abandoned cheap sedans for higher-margin SUVs and trucks, so the affordable end of the market barely exists any more.
