The Kwid 1.0 rivals the K10 variant of the very popular Maruti Alto. It offers a very SUVish design, a  sufficiently powerful engine with a high mileage, decent cabin space and a huge boot. It even comes with a touchscreen audio system if you opt for the top trim. And let’s not forget that the high ground clearance is a major boon on the poor roads many of our cities have on offer.

Maruti Suzuki Ignis Petrol

You can buy a base petrol model of the Maruti Suzuki Ignis for less than Rs 5 lakh. The Ignis is a compact crossover that tries to bring the best of hatchbacks and small SUVs together. To this effect, it has a very SUVish design that makes it look rugged enough. However, you get the same fuel-efficient engines that power the Swift and the Baleno. The base trim won’t get you features like the excellent Smartplay touchscreen infotainment system but you do get all the essentials like AC, power steering, power windows, and central locking. What’s even better is that you get ABS and dual front airbags.
