If you are looking for a premium car to drive home, here we bring you the list of buying best cars under 30 lakhs in India.

Mahindra Scorpio N

Built on Mahindra’s new ladder-on-frame construction, the Mahindra ScorpioN is a great offering from the brand considering its starting ex-showroom price of Rs. 13.85 lakh. It can be bought with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol or 2.2-litre diesel engine paired with either a manual or automatic gearbox.

Kia Seltos

The Kia Seltos comes as a great alternative for someone who is not fond of Hyundai Creta’s design language. Design being an exception, the Seltos shares major underpinning with the Hyundai sibling, starting from the 1.5-litre engine family and the range of transmission options, five to be precise, to the array of equipment inside the cabin. With its last update, the compact SUV was equipped with Level 2 ADAS as well.

Honda City 5th Gen

Since its entry in 1998, the Honda City has given the brand immense success in the country. While the Japanese brand has a varying portfolio of body types, the sedan has been leading at the forefront because of its starting price of Rs. 11.82 lakh, ex-showroom. Honda’s philosophy of keeping things simple prevails in the exterior and cabin design of the car. City owners love to be chauffeur-driven and Honda has left no stone unturned in keeping the luxury and comfort quotient at the top. 

Toyota Innova Crysta

Toyota’s bread-and-butter product in India, the Innova nameplate has seen a couple of generations go by over the years but one thing that has stayed the same is its sales story. At Rs. 19.99 lakh, the Toyota Innova Crysta is expensive but given its reputation for being indestructible, there is no other like it. It does miss out on a couple of features like ADAS and sunroof, but we expect Toyota to equip the bestseller in the coming months.
