Best Low Maintenance Cars – Buying a car in India is a significant decision, but so is the question of how much maintenance it will cost. If the cost of petrol, insurance, service, and spare parts all become a burden, the joy of owning a car can quickly fade. This is why, in 2026, a wise buyer will be one who prioritizes not just price but also low maintenance costs. The good news is that there are still some cars in the Indian market that deliver reliable performance for years.

Maruti Suzuki Alto K10
Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 is made for those who want a car ownership at a low cost. This is the same brand that once taught India how to drive a car through the Maruti 800. The K10C engine delivered in the Alto K10 is not only a fuel efficient, but runs without any hassle for a long time.
Maintenance expenses of around ₹3,000 annually include it among India’s lowest spent cars. 10,000 km or a year service interval and easy-to-find spare parts everywhere make it perfect for the city. Mileage of 24.49 kmpl relieves the separation.
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso
The same reliable K10C engine in the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso, but with much higher seating and better space. Its tall-boy design gives better visibility in city traffic.
Its maintenance expenses here also close to ₹3,000 annually, ie there is not much difference on the pocket. A mileage of 24.12 kmpl and a 240 liter boot make it quite practical for everyday use. Facilities like touchscreen and mobile connectivity are also available in the name of technology, without increasing maintenance.

On average, the Wagon R does not overshadow the pocket even in the long term, with ₹3,600 annual maintenance. Mileage up to 24.35 kmpl and Maruti’s strong service network make it one of the city’s most trusted cars.
