Maruti Suzuki WagonR LXi 1.0
When it comes to offering value for money, nobody does it better than the Maruti Suzuki WagonR.

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Era 1.2
The Hyundai Grand i10 is the cream of the crop of budgeted hatchbacks. It is one of our top picks for mid-size hatchbacks. Even though this vehicle lacks the bells and whistles and creature comforts, the superior build quality makes up for it. Regardless of the variant and base trim, you cannot go wrong with the i10. The model comes with ABS with EBD and dual front airbags.
Maruti Suzuki Swift LXi
The next on our list is another Maruti Suzuki show-stealer – Swift! This model from the automaker has been a part of the Indian auto market for almost two decades now. Even after such a long run, the demand for Swift doesn't seem to go away. After an update in Q1 of 2021, the Swift upgraded to a more robust engine. The sporty dynamics of this car is worth every penny.
