30th May 2018 10:03 am
Dealerships and manufacturers this month are offering a number of discounts and benefits on some of their slower selling models and clearing stock for new models and facelifts.
HATCHBACKS
Hyundai Grand i10
Save up to Rs 1 lakh
The Grand i10 is Hyundai’s answer to the Maruti Suzuki Swift. A comfortable and practical hatchback, it comes with an 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol and a 75hp, 1.2-litre diesel engine option. There’s also an option of a petrol-automatic. The Grand i10’s sluggish sales have made Hyundai offer discounts and benefits in the range of Rs 1 lakh on this stylish hatchback.
Honda Jazz diesel
Save up to Rs 1 lakh
The Jazz takes on the Hyundai i20 and the Maruti Suzuki Baleno. Powered by a 100hp, 1.5-litre diesel, the hatchback’s spacious and practical cabin gets trick folding seats that add to the cargo space. However, styling is a bit bland, which could be one of the reasons why the model is a slow-seller. Discounts in the range of Rs 1 lakh are on offer on this capable Honda.
Ford Figo
Save up to Rs 75,000
The Figo will soon get a mid-cycle update. In a bid to clear stocks, dealers are offering discounts and offers in the range of Rs 75,000. The Figo takes on the Swift but loses out on equipment like a touchscreen infotainment system. It comes with an 88hp, 1.2-litre petrol and a 100hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine.
Maruti Ignis
Save up to Rs 65,000
Maruti’s quirky hatchback is available with 75hp, 1.3-litre diesel and 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol engines and also comes decently equipped, with the top variant getting LED lights. Its cabin has a decent amount of space with good headroom. Benefits in the range of Rs 65,000 are on offer on both petrol and diesel variants of the Ignis at Maruti’s Nexa outlets.
SUVs & MPVs
Honda CR-V
Save up to Rs 2.25 lakh
Honda will replace the current-gen CR-V with an all-new model later this year. The outgoing CR-V is now being offered at a discount of Rs 2.25 lakh. The SUV is well-known for its versatile nature and is a capable all-rounder. It, however, does not come with a diesel engine but gets the options of a 156hp, 2.0-litre and a 190hp, 2.4-litre petrol engine. The CR-V takes on the Hyundai Tucson and the Jeep Compass petrol in our market.
Toyota Innova Crysta petrol
Save up to Rs 55,000
The petrol-powered Innova Crysta is a slow seller for an obvious reason, like low fuel economy. It, however, comes with a refined 166hp, 2.7-litre engine that is responsive when required. When it comes to the cabin and features list, it is well-equipped. However, the steering is a bit on the heavier side. The Innova Crysta petrol is now being offered at a discount in the range of Rs 55,000 at most locations, depending on unsold inventory.
Jeep Compass petrol
Save up to Rs 50,000
The Compass petrol comes with Fiat’s 163hp, 1.4-litre turbo engine. There is no 4WD on offer but all the other plus points of the SUV still remain. Its cabin is spacious for five adults and it is decently sized for tight city roads too. Key rivals include the Hyundai Tucson, Volkswagen Tiguan and the Honda CR-V.
SEDANS
BMW 330i M-Sport
Save up to Rs 7 lakh
The BMW 330i M-Sport comes with a punchy, 252hp petrol engine, well-equipped cabin and M-Sport goodies like additional exterior and interior bits. Add to that the popular BMW 3-series handling characteristics. The Mercedes C-class rival is available at a discount of Rs 7 lakh at all locations.
2018 Mercedes E-class
Save up to Rs 3.5 lakh
The latest-gen E-class is an epitome of a game changer thanks to the added length that facilitates acres of legroom for the rear passengers. Available with two diesels and a petrol engine option, the long-wheelbase E-class, currently, has no direct competition, as its rivals don’t come in this configuration. However, the BMW 5-series, Jaguar XF and the new BMW 6-series GT are good options at that price point.
Hyundai Xcent
Save up to Rs 1 lakh
A direct rival to the Maruti Dzire and the new Honda Amaze, the Hyundai Xcent has a narrow cabin but comes on par with its competitors as far as the equipment list goes. It comes with 1.2-litre petrol and diesel engine options, along with a petrol-automatic option as well. Discounts in the range of Rs 1 lakh are on offer on the smallest Hyundai sedan in India.
Maruti Ciaz diesel
Save up to Rs 65,000
The Ciaz gets Maruti’s fuel-saving SHVS tech, spacious interiors and a decent features list. A mid-cycle update is due soon, which could be the reason why Maruti’s Nexa dealers are offering discounts in the range of Rs 65,000 on the Ciaz. Key rivals include the Honda City, the recently launched Toyota Yaris and the Hyundai Verna.
Honda City
Save up to Rs 65,000
Honda’s popular sedan sees stiff competition from the recently launched Toyota Yaris, the Hyundai Verna and the Maruti Ciaz. It comes with a refined 119hp, 1.5-litre petrol as well as a 100hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine. Top-spec trims also come with a sunroof and LED lights. Discounts and benefits in the range of Rs 65,000 are on offer on this Honda sedan.
