Top 5 cars under 8 lakhs rupees
The Indian auto market is rapidly changing and now cars are getting increasing modern and well-equipped. Unlike before, today if you are out to buy a new car and are on a budget, it doesn't mean that you'll have to make compromises in terms of styling, features, or safety. Even manufacturers have started to understand what today's customers want and today most of the cars out in the market come with a value-for-money quotient. And we have listed down some of the best options under 8 lakh. The cars that we have listed here have most of their trims and variants falling below 8 lakh mark with a model or two going above the indicated price point. While there are some better options as well, but only their base variants fall below 8 lakh and most of higher variants, which actually hold value, are priced above. So, we have consciously tried to avoid such cars.
Here is our list of the best cars in India under ₹ 8 lakh:
1. Maruti Suzuki Swift
The new Maruti Suzuki Swift better-looking and a lot more equipped
The new-gen Maruti Swift went on sale in India only in February this year and as of June 2018, the carmaker had already sold over 1 lakh units of the car. Needless to say, priced in the range of 4.99 lakh to 8.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) it's right now one of the hottest cars you can buy under 8 lakh. Featuring a refreshing exterior design, all-new interior and a bunch of new and improved features the new Swift is truly a value-for-money car. While the engine options remain unchanged and it continues to get the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engine, Maruti has worked on the fuel efficiency of the car, so you now get a mileage of 22 kmpl in the petrol model and 28.4 kmpl in the diesel.
2. Hyundai Grand i10 Facelift:
The perfect rival to the Ignis, the Hyundai Grand i10 facelift was launched recently and gets a few revisions along with some cosmetic updates as well. The Grand i10 was always well-appointed when it came to features considering that the top trims got you a reverse parking camera, 1GB storage for music and so on. The facelift model does even better and offers you a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, LED DRLs and a new 1.2-litre diesel engine which is slightly more powerful than the 1.1-litre unit that the old model had. The Grand i10 has a spacious cabin and is super practical for daily driving. It has a claimed efficiency of 19.77 kmpl and 24.95 kmpl for the petrol and diesel models respectively. Plus, prices for the Grand i10 facelift start at 4.74 lakh and go up to 7.50 lakh. Definitely worth a consideration if 8 lakh is your budget.
3. Maruti Suzuki Ignis:
It is the car which is making all the waves right now. Maruti Suzuki was keen on having a product in its portfolio which was targeted at the young audiences and the Ignis was launched. The looks of the car are quirky and it is loaded with features, keeping it real savvy for the style conscious. The Ignis gets the tried and tested 1.2-litre petrol engine and also have an AMT option along with the regular 5-speed manual gearbox. The interior is well appointed and will surely cater to buyers with sophisticated sensibilities as well. The Ignis is doing rather well for Maruti Suzuki and there is quite a bit of waiting from what we hear. The Ignis boasts of a fuel efficiency of 20.89 kmpl for the petrol/AMT model. The prices for the Ignis start at 4.46 lakh for the base petrol variant, which goes up to 7.04 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The diesel model is no longer on sale.
4. Tata Tiago
The top-end model of the Tata Tiago itself comes under ₹ 8 lakh
The Tata Tiago was a true game changer for the home-grown automaker. The first car to be based on the new Impact Design philosophy, the Tiago essentially the first hatch in a long time to break out of the boring Indica design. Priced in the range of 3.35 lakh to 6 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), it's also one of the best value-for-money hatchbacks under the 8 lakh price point, offering a stylish compact design, smart interior and also and AMT option in the petrol version. The top-end model itself will come under 8 lakh, which offers alloy wheels, premium fabric interior, multi-functional steering wheel and more. The Tiago comes with a set of efficient petrol and diesel engines - 1.2-litre petrol and 1.05-litre diesel engine.
5. Hyundai i20 FaceliftTata
The Hyundai i20 received a facelift only early this year at the Auto Expo

The i20 facelift gets the new black cascading grille, revised headlamps with new LED daytime running lamps, and a new bumper housing the new arrowhead foglamps, and an integrated spoiler. All these changes give it the new family look. Prices for the car starts at 5.34 lakh and goes up to 9.15 lakh for the top-end model. Under the hood, the Hyundai i20 facelift gets more refined engines but with the same output.
