Upcoming Budget Cars in India 2019-20 Expected Price, Launch Dates, Mileage, Specifications

There is nothing better than getting a good deal on something expensive. Cars fall into the “expensive” category for the majority of people in India and that is why most of the manufacturers that in the country create a separate segment that caters to the needs of those who look for high value at a pocket-friendly price. Here are 10 upcoming budget cars and what they have to offer.

MODEL	EXPECTED PRICE
Tata Tiago EV	Rs. 6.0 Lakh
Hyundai Aura	Rs. 6.0 Lakh
Hyundai Elite i20 2020	Rs. 5.6 Lakh
Maruti XL5	Rs. 5.0 Lakh
Maruti Ertiga Sport	Rs. 8.3 Lakh
KIA Picanto	Rs. 7.0 Lakh
Tata Altroz	Rs. 5.49 – 8.49 Lakh
KIA Rio	Rs. 8.0 Lakh
Honda Jazz 2020	Rs. 7.5 Lakh
Honda Brio 2019	Rs. 5.0 Lakh

Tata Tiago EV

Expected Launch	August, 2020
Power	21.5kWh Lithium-Ion Battery
Range	213 Km

The world is slowly but surely transitioning into a cleaner, less polluted state and one of the biggest contributors to that movement are EV’s or Electric Vehicles. Tata is soon going to launch the Tiago EV which will hit the market sometime in the second-half of 2020. While not much is known about the Tiago EV as of now, the fuel powered version of the car has shown us that we can expect some powerful specifications. Given the fact that Tata has already launched the Tigor EV in India, we can expect to see the Tiago EV fitted with the same 21.5kWh Lithium-Ion battery which should give it a range of about 213 kms when completely charged. Unlike the Tigor EV, we can expect the Tiago to cost a lot less and target the budget-friendly audience in the country.

Hyundai Aura

Expected Launch	July 15, 2020
Engine	1.2L Petrol, 1.0L Turbo-Petrol, 1.2L Diesel
Transmission	5-Speed Manual, 5-Speed Automatic

Hyundai cars are some of the most used cars in the country as they offer style, power, and affordability in abundance. The Aura from Hyundai is expected to launch in August 2020 and could soon take over the streets and garages of India. According to what Hyundai has released, the Aura is set to come with 3 different engine options which include a 1.2L petrol motor that generates 83Ps of power along with 113Nm of torque, a 1.2L diesel engine that offers 75Ps of power and 190Nm of torque, and a 1.0L Turbo-petrol motor that pushes out 100Ps of power along with 172Nm of torque. In the transmission department, both the 1.2L engines will get a 5-speed manual gearbox as well as an optional 5-speed automatic system. The 1.0L engine will be mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox only.

Hyundai Elite i20 2020

Expected Launch	August, 2020
Engine	1.2L Petrol, 1.4L Diesel
Transmission	5-Speed Manual, 5-Speed Automatic

The Hyundai i20 has always been a best-seller in the Indian market and the upcoming Elite i20 2020 is surely going to be a huge success again. Although the car has been one of the most talked about vehicles in the country, nothing major has been released by the brand describing the features of powertrains of the car. Going by the fact that the current i20 houses a 1.2L petrol and a 1.4L diesel engine, we should expect the same on the upcoming model as well. Whatever it is, we can expect some upgraded equipment on the Elite i20 2020 such as a larger touchscreen infotainment system, better audio, and safety features like multiple airbags and impact beams.

Maruti XL5

Expected Launch	February 10, 2020
Engine	1.2L BS-6 Petrol
Transmission	5-Speed Manual, 5-Speed AMT

In India, everyone knows that Maruti sells cars quicker than any other manufacturer in the market, which makes the highly-anticipated XL5 one of the most desired cars in India today. The Ignis inspired car is expected to feature black alloy wheels and we could see a new grille in the front as well. In terms of power, the XL5 could quite possible get the same 1.2L BS-6 compliant petrol engine that they offer in most of their models which would generate about 82Ps of power along with 113Nm of torque. The engine is most likely to be mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox as well as an option for AMT should be made available.

Maruti Ertiga Sport

Expected Launch	January, 2020
Engine	1.5L K15 Smart Hybrid Petrol
Transmission	5-Speed Manual

While the Ertiga has already been released by Maruti, the upcoming Ertiga Sport is something everyone is talking about. Destined to feature some new technology and some fancy new toys, the Ertiga could soon become one of Maruti’s leading vehicles. Under the hood, the Ertiga Sport houses a 1.5L K15 Smart Hybrid petrol engine that generates 105Ps of power along with 138Nm of torque. Mated to the engine is a 5-speed manual transmission with 2WD capabilities for off-road situations.

KIA Picanto

Expected Launch	December 1, 2021
Engine	1.2L Petrol, 1.2L Diesel
Transmission	5-Speed Manual, 4-Speed Automatic

When it comes to performance cars, KIA is a brand that stands out and the much talked about Picanto is designed to offer an excellent performance no matter what. The car is set to be powered by either a 1.2L petrol engine that produces 83Ps of power and 122Nm of torque or a 1.2L diesel motor that generates 73Ps of power along with 190Nm of torque. While both the engine options come with a 5-speed manual gearbox, the petrol model can be had with a 4-speed automatic transmission as well. With so much on offer, we can expect that a number of people will prepare their RC transfer papers to get their hands on the model once it is released.

Tata Altroz

Expected Launch	January 22, 2020
Engine	1.2L Petrol, 1.5L Diesel
Transmission	5-Speed Manual

The Tata Altroz has been making headline across the country for quite some time now and we are ready to see it take to the streets in the coming months. Tata has confirmed that the Altroz will be powered by either a 1.2L petrol unit that produces 86Ps of power and 113Nm of torque or a 1.5L diesel engine that offers 90Ps of power and 200Nm of torque. In terms of transmission, the Altroz is expected to be paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox while a DCT or Dual-Clutch Transmission is expected to be introduced in the coming months.

KIA Rio

Expected Launch	June 1, 2020
Engine	1.6L In-Line Petrol
Transmission	6-Speed Manual, 6-Speed Automatic

As the year comes to a close, car manufacturers promise us of better things in the new year and the KIA Rio definitely looks like it has the potential to be a great car. The hatchback is expected to feature a 1.6L In-Line 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 130Ps of power along with 161Nm of torque. According to KIA, the Rio will be mated to either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Some of the features listed on the Rio include a 7-inch Bluetooth-enabled touchscreen, cruise control, and adjustable seats.

Honda Jazz 2020

Expected Launch	August, 2020
Engine	1.2L i-VTEC Petrol
Transmission	5-Speed Manual, 7-Step CVT

Honda is one of the biggest names in India as well as the automobile industry in the world. The Jazz 2020 petrol variant is expected to launch in August of 2020 and could feature some of the most powerful specifications available. While the current model houses a 1.2L i-VTEC petrol engine that generates 90Ps of power along with 110Nm of torque, we might see a higher tuned engine when the Jazz officially releases. Mated to the engine could be a 5-speed manual transmission or a 7-step CVT setup that is also available on the current model as well. The Honda Jazz 2020 is expected to be one of the safest cars in India with advanced technology being implemented into the ABS with EBD, parking sensors on the front and rear, and multiple airbags for the driver and passenger side.

Honda Brio 2019

Expected Launch	December 1, 2020
Engine	1.2L i-VTEC Petrol
Transmission	5-Speed Manual, CVT

The Honda Brio 2019 is expected to be released in 2020 and is expected to be one of the most efficient models yet. Under the hood of the Brio, we will get the same 1.2L i-VTEC petrol engine that will generate 90Ps of power with 110Nm of torque for faster and smoother driving experience. Paired with the petrol engine will be a standard 5-speed manual transmission, but Honda is expected to include a new CVT gearbox as well which will be a first for the model.

If you are in the market to buy a new car this coming year, but are running on a tight budget, these cars listed here are, by far, the best options for you. Combining excellent power, superior style, and pocket-friendly price tags, these cars should have the country talking soon, if they haven’t already. While all the above-mentioned cars are relatively fordable, a used car valuation tool can help you find the best deals for you with ease as well.
