There are a number of manufacturers in India that offer budget-friendly cars with a lot of space in the back seat. While these smaller cars might not look like they have a lot of space, a closer look ensures that they can comfortably seat 3 adults in the back seat. Manufacturers that sell cars that focus on space are preparing for a boost in sales post the lockdown pandemic and here are some of the best models you can opt for in the market.
