While Honda did launch the new-gen model in India, that too was discontinued earlier this year due to Honda's revised production strategy.

Maruti Suzuki S-Cross 1.6

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.

You can find a good one between Rs. 4 lakh to Rs. 8 lakh, depending on its model year and condition.
