Maruti Suzuki Swift
Maruti Suzuki Swift is a car that needs no introduction. Even though the Japanese manufacturer pulled the plug on the highly sought-after diesel, the petrol variant, including the CNG combination, continues to sell in huge numbers to this day. Under the hood lies the 1.2-litre Dual jet petrol mill churning out 89 bhp and 113 Nm of torque. What truly sets it apart is its impressive fuel economy, with an astonishing mileage of 22 kmpl. The hatchback’s close-to-launch next generation will further bring mild-hybrid technology, making it even more fuel-efficient (24.5 kmpl as some reports claim). The ex-showroom price for the Swift starts at ₹6.24 lakh and goes up to ₹9.28 lakh for the ZXI+ dual-tone variant.

Hyundai i20
The Hyundai i20 rivals the Swift and does so with a dash of elegance and style. Its sharp exterior still feels pleasing and the feature-rich interior draws you like a magnet, living up to its tagline of ‘Born Magnetic’. There’s even a turbocharged ‘N Line’ for the enthusiasts, something that its arch-rival misses out on. You also get a sunroof, wireless charging, six airbags as standard and driving modes, making your entire experience sportier. Want to buy one? Well, prices for the standard i20 range from ₹8.03 lakh to ₹13.05 lakh (ex-showroom).
Hyundai Exter
Another product from Hyundai’s stable, a rather new entrant, the Hyundai Exter has a lot going for itself. The micro-SUV brought a lot of segment firsts, including six airbags as standard across all trims, a dual dashcam, voice-enabled sunroof and paddle shifters. Powering the four-wheeler is a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated motor, making 83 bhp and 114 Nm torque. The Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has reported mileage figures of up to 27 kmpl for the CNG variant of the SUV, making it the most fuel-efficient SUV in the segment. Hyundai car has yet to send the car for BNCAP testing but hopes to fare well. You can buy the base EX model for ₹6.94 lakh (on-road Delhi).
Maruti Suzuki Fronx
With the Fronx, Maruti Suzuki brought back the 1.0-litre Boosterjet mill which had gone extinct after the Baleno RS was discontinued. The NEXA-specific sub-compact SUV is currently the only turbocharged vehicle in the Japanese carmaker’s lineup targeted at enthusiasts. However, you can also get the Fronx with a naturally aspirated petrol engine or a CNG combo. Much of the interior bits have been taken from the Baleno, with a head-up display, wireless charger and 360-degree camera as notable feature mentions. The starting ex-showroom price for the naturally aspirated Maruti Suzuki Fronx is ₹7.51 lakh, while the turbocharged Delta+ trim is up for grabs for ₹9.72 lakh.

Renault Kiger
The Renault Kiger is the second best-selling car in Renault’s portfolio, sitting right above the Kwid. With a ground clearance of 205 mm and 405 mm boot space, the SUV presents a unique proposition in the ‘Under 15 lakhs’ category that you should definitely consider. An 8-inch touchscreen, wireless charging and multiple drive models are a few highlight features. Though there is a naturally aspirated mill available, our pick is the 1.0-litre turbo motor for its exciting mix of power (99 bhp/160 Nm) and fuel efficiency (20.5 kmpl ARAI). If you were specifically looking for a CVT gearbox on a budget, your quest ends here. The range-topping RXZ X-Tronic turbo trim costs ₹11.22 lakh on-road in Delhi.
