Best affordable cars and SUVs: Price, specifications, all you need to know

Nissan Magnite is one of the best low-budget SUVs in India. It is available with a 1.0L petrol engine in a naturally-aspirated version and turbocharged mode, with a manual gearbox and CVT unit. Price: Rs. 5.97-10.53 lakh.

The Nexon was India's most-sold SUV in 2022. One of the biggest highlights of the Nexon is its fantastic ride and handling balance which makes for a good long-distance vehicle. As for powertrains, the 110hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol unit is refined but performance isn’t lively. The 110hp, 1.5-litre diesel has a wider spectrum of abilities. Price: Rs. 7.80-14.25 lakh.

Hyundai Exter is the most affordable car in India. It offers the standard safety of six airbags across all variants. With a starting range of Rs. 6 lakh, Huyndai Exter is an absolute deal-breaker.

Like the Magnite, the Kiger also undercuts the entire segment with its price, which means it's fantastic value for money. The car is spacious, well-equipped and has a peppy turbo-petrol engine under the hood. Price: Rs. 6.50-11.23 lakh.
