Right now, SUV is only offered in a petrol guise, however, if you want to get the popular Vitara Brezza diesel then you'll have to go for a pre-owned.

Volkswagen Polo GT TSI (DSG)
A 4 to 5-year-old pre-owned VW Polo GT TSI, with the DSG automatic gearbox, can be bought for around ₹ 6 lakh to ₹ 8 lakh
The Polo GT TSI is still considered to be the go-to option for someone looking for a performance car on a budget. Unlike the previous version that came with a DSG automatic, the newer version comes with a torque converter unit, and it is a good option. However, if you are on a tighter budget, or specifically want the much-loved DSG version of the car, then check out the used car market. Right now, a 4 to 5-year-old pre-owned Polo GT TSI, with the DSG automatic gearbox, can be bought for around Rs. 6 lakh to Rs. 8 lakh. However, we must tell you that the car can be expensive to maintain. Also, DSG technology is quite expensive, and it could cost you a bomb to repair or replace one if something goes wrong.

Honda Civic
The Honda Civic is possibly one of the most popular models that enthusiast looks for in the used car market
The old-gen Honda Civic is possibly one of the most popular models that enthusiast looks for in the used car market, and across India, you'll find thousands of listings for the car. While Honda did launch the new-gen model in India, that too was discontinued earlier this year due to Honda's revised production strategy. However, if you want the old-gen Civic the used car market is the place for you. It was in production till 2013, so we would suggest you go for a model closer to that period. And you'll find one for around Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 4 lakh. An even older one will cost you as low as Rs. 1.5 lakh. However, we must warn you, spare parts for the car won't be easily available, so factor that into your purchase decision.

Renault Duster Diesel
The Renault Duster diesel was offered in two power options - 84 bhp and 108 bhp
Yet another capable compact diesel SUV that you can only find in the pre-owned car market right now it's the Renault Duster diesel. Both the 84 bhp and the 108 bhp version of the SUV offered great performance and drivability and were a good choice for anyone looking for a capable city SUV that can occasionally handle bad roads as well. And unlike the newer petrol-only model it also came with optional AWD. You can get a decent quality Duster for around Rs. 4.4 lakh to Rs. 7 lakh.
Maruti Suzuki S-Cross 1.6
Combined with crossover's great drivability, the powerful diesel engine made the S-Cross 1.6 a great package
The Maruti Suzuki S-Cross is one of the more underrated cars in the compact crossover/SUV space and even more so was its 1.6-litre DDIS 320 diesel version. Combined with crossover's great drivability, the powerful diesel engine made the S-Cross 1.6 a great package, however, due to low demand the company had to discontinue the engine option. However, you can still get one in the used car market, although due to its limited run in India the number of units available is quite less. A used S-Cross 1.6 will be available for around Rs. 5.5 lakh to Rs. 8 lakh depending on the condition of the car and model year.
Tata Safari Storme 4x4
You can find a good Safari Storme between Rs. 4 lakh to Rs. 8 lakh, depending on its model year and condition.
The fact that the new-gen Tata Safari does not come with a 4x4 system has been quite disappointing for the Safari enthusiasts in India. The SUV was known for its 4x4 capabilities and you can still find good ones in the used car market, however, we would advise you to look for the newer Safar Storme instead of the older one as it will be slightly easier to maintain. You can find a good one between Rs. 4 lakh to Rs. 8 lakh, depending on its model year and condition.
