Although the BSVI emission norms were supposed to come into effect from the 1^st of April, the ongoing lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic has forced the Supreme Court to extend the deadline to 10 days after the lockdown is lifted. However, many of the car manufacturers in the country have already started producing and launching BSVI-compliant variants of their models. While these variants might be higher-priced at the moment, they are a better choice given that BSIV powered vehicles will soon not be allowed on Indian roads. So, what are the best BSVI cars you can buy for under Rs. 10 Lakhs? Let’s find out.

Hyundai Creta

Hyundai took the BSVI change as an advantage and announced the latest version of one of their most popular cars, the Creta. Not only that, Hyundai launched a total of 14 different variants to give potential buyers options to choose from. All the new BSVI-compliant Creta variants will be powered by one of three engine options. The first is a standard 1.5L petrol engine that is capable of producing 112Ps of power and 144Nm of torque. Next is a 1.4L Turbo GDi engine that produces 138Ps of power and 242Nm of torque which is a more powerful option from the standard option. And lastly, there will be a 1.5L diesel motor that generates 113Ps of power with 250Nm of torque.

KIA Seltos

One of the first car manufacturers to announce a BSVI-compliant model was probably KIA when they launched the latest Seltos in August of 2019. The newest model is fitted with three different BSVI-compliant engines including a 1.4L petrol unit that is capable of producing 140Ps of power with 242Nm of torque, a 1.5L petrol engine that can generate 115Ps of power and 144Nm of maximum torque, and lastly, a 1.5L diesel engine that pushes out 115Ps of power along with 250Nm of torque. The Seltos is currently one of the best-selling mid-size SUVs in the market and with these upgraded options, it should be even better.

Renault Duster

The Duster from Renault is another best-seller in the country and the compact SUV is now available with a BSVI-compliant engine option. Renault has discontinued its previously popular 1.5L diesel engine and has replaced it with a new BSVI-compliant, 4-cylinder, 1.5L petrol engine that is capable of generating 105Ps of power and 142Nm of torque. At the moment, the new Duster will be mated to a 5-speed manual transmission but could get automatic options in the future.

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga

Maruti introduced the BSVI-compliant Ertiga back in July 2019 and along with that, the company announced that they would be discontinuing their diesel engine for the model. Now, the biggest car manufacturer in India has included a 1.5L BSVI-compliant petrol engine in the Ertiga that is capable of producing 105Ps of power along with 138Nm of torque. As usual, the cost of the new Ertiga is expected to be around Rs. 10,000 higher than the exiting BSIV models.

Tata Nexon

Earlier this year, Tata officially announced their latest and upgraded version of the ever-popular compact SUV – Nexon. The new Nexon is now fitted with either a BSVI-compliant petrol or diesel engine. While the 3-cylinder, 1.2L Turbocharged petrol engine is capable of generating 118Ps of power and 170Nm of torque, the 1.5L diesel engine can produce 108Ps of power and 260Nm of torque. The new Nexon, with its upgraded engines, should encourage potential buyers to choose Tata in a rather extremely competitive segment.

Maruti Suzuki Swift

Maruti Suzuki is India’s most popular car manufacturer and the majority of its popularity comes down to the excellence of its best-seller, the Swift. Ever since the Swift was announced, it has been a favourite in the budget segment in the country. Now, Maruti has fitted the Swift with an upgraded BSVI-compliant petrol engine. The 4-cylinder, 1.2L engine is the same one found in the Baleno and is capable of generating 82Ps of power and 113Nm of torque. Although there is a 1.3L diesel engine as an option as well, Maruti has not upgraded it yet.

Maruti Suzuki S-Presso

Probably considered as one of the most impressive newcomers in the country, the Maruti S-Presso was launched back in September of 2019. Since then, the micro SUV has become quite famous across the country thanks to its affordability and its performance. The S-Presso is also one of the first cars that is designed around Maruti’s Heartect platform which offers better safety and protection in the event of a collision or accident. Powering the S-Presso is a 1.0L K10B BSVI-compliant petrol engine that offers 68Ps of power and 90Nm of torque.
