Budget cars under Rs.10 lakh: If you’ve been holding back to purchase a new vehicle, there’s good news in store for you. Large automobile companies such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Mahindra, Tata Motors, and Renault are preparing to introduce five new vehicles in India priced below 10 lakh rupees. These vehicles will be introduced in the market over the next 6 to 12 months with new designs and upgraded features.

Upcoming Hyundai Venue

Hyundai is going to bring the new generation Venue sometime during the upcoming festive season. Although the engine configuration is expected to remain the same, its styling might receive a new look. The most anticipated change would be the inclusion of Level 2 ADAS features, which will enhance driving safety and make the vehicle feel newer for Indian roads.

Tata Punch EV Facelift

Tata Motors is gearing up to introduce an electric variant of its best-selling Punch. It is expected there will be no significant size updates, but the SUV may receive new exterior design and improved features within the cabin. The introduction is expected to increase Tata’s footprint in the rapidly increasing EV market and appeal to affordable electric car customers.

Mahindra XUV 3XO EV

Mahindra is also set to introduce the XUV 3XO in an electric variant soon. It will be positioned below the XUV400 in the Mahindra line-up and directly rival the Tata Punch EV. Based on media reports, the electric SUV will have a driving range of up to 450 kilometres on a single charge, which could make it a compelling purchase option for city and highway customers.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid

Maruti Suzuki is developing a hybrid variant of its Fronx subcompact SUV. It will employ a 1.2-litre Z12E petrol engine paired with a smart hybrid system to conserve fuel as well as lower emissions. There are also chances of incorporating ADAS features for international variants, providing this SUV with a tech upgrade that could find its way to the Indian market as well in the future.

Renault Kiger Facelift

Renault’s Kiger was seen testing quite a few times in the past few months. It is likely to receive updates in its design as well as new features within the cabin. These will assist the Kiger in competing with competitors such as Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter, providing customers with more options below 10 lakh.

Expected Features and Launch Timeline

These new cars are centered around fresh safety features, connected technology, and hybrid or electric powertrain options. They could be phased out in the next 6 to 12 months, perfectly in time for festival time demand in India. If you’re in the market for a new car, these ones might be worth the wait since they offer new styling, new-tech features, and an affordable price under 10 lakh.
