The much-awaited festive season for the year 2024 is weeks away from kicking into action. The auspicious period is when most families venture out from their homes and come back in their new rides, be it cars or motorcycles. If you are considering buying a new car this Diwali, we share the top 5 cars to consider across segments.
If you are on a lookout for a new, efficient yet fun-to-drive family hatchback, look no further than the all-new Maruti Suzuki Swift. The new Swift retails between Rs 6.49 lakh and Rs 9.60 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi. Furthermore, Maruti Suzuki is also offering attractive discounts on its most popular nameplate.
There are a slew of sub-compact SUVs in the market and if there’s one that does it all, it's the Kia Sonet. Offered with multiple engine-transmission options, the Sonet presents something for everyone in every price range. Needless to say, it also comes packed with features. The Kia Sonet price starts from Rs 8 lakh and goes all the way up to Rs 15.77 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi.
The Hyundai Creta is one of the best-selling SUVs in the Indian market. Hyundai has managed to sell over 1 million Creta SUVs since its first launch in 2015. The new Creta offers multiple powertrain options, a long list of features and comfortable driving experience. For the enthu-cutlets, Hyundai also offers the Creta N Line. The Hyundai Creta price starts from Rs 11 lakh and goes all the way up to Rs 20.30 lakh ex-showroom.
If you are on a lookout for a sedan for the sole purpose of driving pleasure, there is nothing to argue against the Virtus GT. The Virtus is the best-selling sedan in its segment and its GT variant with the 1.5-litre engine is our choice of the lot. The Virtus GT manages to offer blistering performance without taking a toll on the fuel efficiency. The Volkswagen Virtus price starts from Rs 11.56 lakh and goes all the way up to Rs 19.41 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi.
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto is the most-sensible family mover in the market. It could have been the Toyota Innova Hycross, if not for its obnoxious waiting period. The Invicto offers 90% of the Hycross’ experience, while managing to be considerably cheaper and offering the same hybrid powertrain. The Maruti Suzuki Invicto price starts from Rs 25.21 lakh and goes all the way up to Rs 28.92 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi.
