The list is based on Kelley Blue Book editors' evaluations of each vehicle's attributes, which includes safety, fuel economy, versatility, and style according to a company press release.
By releasing the annual list, KBB.com hopes to help out college students and their parents as they seek a new car for the vastly approaching school year.
The list of the best cars for back to school included:
1. 2014 Nissan Versa Note
2. 2014 Ford Focus
3. 2014 Chevrolet Sonic
4. 2013 Mazda MAZDA3

"Your hard-earned $20,000 buys a lot of car these days. Case in point, the stylish Kia Sportage offers up real SUV versatility, a bounty of standard features and a lengthy warranty at a very student-friendly price," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, in a press statement. "That it's recognized as a 2013 IIHS Top Safety Pick doesn't hurt, either."
The Kia Soul topped the list last school year according to KBB.com.
