Best Cars Under ₹10 Lakhs in India (May 2025): Smart Picks

If you want to buy a car under ₹10 lakh at the moment, you surely have company. Rising insurance premiums, urban population, jam-packed with traffic, more people yearn for compact cars loaded with features and reliability, but more budget-friendly. We have been researching the market, and here is a list of the 2025 May month's best value-for-money cars under ₹10 lakh.


1. Maruti Suzuki Fronx — The Fresh Alternative to the Usual

The Maruti Fronx has been a frequent sight on Indian roads lately. I spotted one at a dealership in Delhi last week, and it did stand out — that coupe-like rear especially.

  • Price: ₹7.5 – ₹10 lakh
  • Mileage: ~21 kmpl
  • Fuel Type: Petrol

Why consider it? A stylish compact crossover from Maruti with good mileage and solid resale value.

Quick tip: The turbo gives better performance, but costs a little extra.


2. Tata Punch EV (Base Variant) – Entry Into Electric, Made Easy

If you're set to switch to electric without going across the ₹10 lakh line, the Punch EV base variant should surely pique your interest. My cousin just booked one in Pune — says the running cost is infinitely low.


  • Price: ₹9.5 – ₹10 lakh
  • Range: Around 315 km

Why it stands out: Compact, rugged design + no fuel bills.

Keep in mind: Fast chargers are still limited in tier-2 cities.


3. Hyundai Exter – City-Friendly & Playful

The Exter is becoming a favorite with the youth, especially across Bengaluru and Noida. It has a sunroof, six airbags, and a dashcam, all for under ₹10 lakh!

  • Price Range: ₹6.5 – ₹9.9 lakh
  • Mileage: Petrol ~19 kmpl | CNG ~27 km/kg
  • Best for: Urban commuters, first-time buyers

One of the very few micro SUVs where even the entry-level trim doesn't feel thoroughly stripped down.


4. Renault Kiger – Underrated but Packed with Features

The Kiger is frequently an overlooked candidate that in reality is one of the larger cars at this budget — especially if you require boot space for travel or a small business.

  • Price: ₹6.5 to ₹9.8 lakh
  • Boot Space: 405 litres

Highlights: Turbo engine option, aggressive styling


5. Honda Amaze – Old-School Reliability with a Touch of Class

If you like having a proper sedan feel, the Honda Amaze is still your safest bet. Smooth ride and very premium interiors, not cheap at all.

  • Price Range: ₹7.2 – ₹9.9 lakh
  • Mileage: 18–20 kmpl

Ideal For: Families or long-distance commuters

The CVT manages city traffic without a hitch — no jerkiness or annoyance.

Are you leaning towards fuel efficiency or cutting-edge tech? Or simply towards a reliable machine for the everyday rider? Whatever it is, the above-mentioned options, in their respective categories, definitely pose a value-for-money proposition.
