Buying a car under ₹ 10 lakh in 2025 has become easier and more fun than ever. Now even budget cars are stylish, safety-friendly and full of features. I am giving you this guide based on my experience and people’s preferences, so that you can easily understand which car is right for you.

- Mileage: 17-18 kmpl
- Features: Smart Entertainment, Airbags, ABS, LED DRL
Real Life Experience: I drove this car on a trip to a hill station and it was completely under control even on the ups and downs of the roads. Being an SUV, the seating comfort and headroom is very good.
Things to note: The Brezza has very low maintenance costs and is easily serviceable.
2. Hyundai Grand i10 Nios
The Grand i10 Nios is perfect for small cities or everyday drives. I really liked its smooth handling in parking and city drives.
- Price: Starting at ₹6.5 Lakh
- Engine: 1.2 litre petrol

If you like sedans and want a bit of elegant look, then Ciaz is great.

My advice when buying a car
- Mileage and Fuel: Choose Petrol or Diesel based on everyday drive and city.
- Safety: Always check features like airbags, ABS, and brakes.
- Service Network: While buying a budget car, do look at the service and maintenance facilities.
- Test drive: This is the most important. The seats, handling and comfort of the car can only be experienced during a test drive.
Conclusion: There are a lot of good cars available under ₹ 10 lakh now. Brezza, Nexon and Sonet are good for SUV lovers. Grand i10, Ciaz and Kwid are good for small city and budget friendly options.
Choosing the right car can make your driving experience fun and comfortable.
