The year-end festive seasons are always a delight for car buyers because of all the exchange bonuses and discounts. This year, the discounts are crazier than ever because of unsold stocks piled up at dealerships' yards.
So, we have curated a list of the top 5 car deals, which you should not miss, especially if you are planning to buy a vehicle.
The Reason Behind Big Discounts
Before jumping on to the list of crazy deals offers, allow us to address why these profit-oriented brands have become so kind-hearted, as far as the huge discounts are concerned.
In recent months, car sales in the Indian market have gone down significantly and because of this most car dealerships in the country have accumulated stocks of cars for up to 75 days, which is usually 30 days.
According to data by FADA (Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations), dealerships across the country have around 7,80,000 cars in their stock yards with a collective value of nearly Rs 77,800 crore.
Now, the dealers have pressure to clear this stock soon and that is why they are offering huge discounts to attract customers.
Now let us check all the offers and discounts which matter.
Hatchback: Tata Tiago
If you are in the market for an entry-level hatchback then most brands like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Tata are offering huge discounts on their entry-level cars.
But, Tata is taking the lead here by offering discounts worth up to Rs 90,000 on its entry-level hatchback, the Tiago. This is a very attractive offer and all the first car buyers should definitely check this car once.
Sedan: 5th-Gen Honda City
Sedans are one of the best cars for long highway drives and they work equally well for daily commutes.
The C-segment sedan market is filled with compelling options, but Honda is offering up to Rs 1.14 lakh discount on the 5th-Gen City. This car has proven itself as a reliable car in its segment and we believe buyers should take a detailed look at this car.
Compact SUV: Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara
SUVs have flooded the Indian market nowadays, which is why no car list is complete without mentioning an SUV, be it compact or full-size.
There are so many good deals from almost all the major brands but Maruti Suzuki’s Rs 1.23 lakh discount, plus a free five-year warranty scheme on the Grand Vitara seems the most compelling offer in our opinion.
We recommend every petrol-oriented compact SUV buyer to consider the Grand Vitara and take test drives and if everything goes well, then take advantage of the ongoing discount.
EV: Tata Nexon EV
If you want to make a foray into the EV segment in India and are looking for a renowned vehicle then you can miss the Tata Nexon EV, a leading product in the Indian EV market. Tata is offering a massive discount of up to Rs 3 lakh on this car, making it a no-brainer for anyone looking to get an EV in this price range.
The car has been tested by us, and it ticks all the boxes of being a good daily and highway car for a family. So, we recommend you definitely pay a visit to your nearest Tata showroom and take a closer look at the Tata Nexon EV.
Full-Size SUV: Toyota Fortuner
If you are the kind of person who loves the "raw" feeling of the ladder-on-frame chassis and you don’t think twice before taking your car anywhere you desire. Then the ultimate full-size SUV segment king of the Indian market, the Toyota Fortuner is on sale with a discount of Rs 30,000 and an exchange bonus of Rs 1,00,000.
The 4X4 variant of this SUV is one of the most rugged and capable SUVs in the market currently. The car has a reputation for reliability and affordable maintenance costs.
We have tested almost every iteration of the Toyota Fortuner thoroughly and we believe that this is truly an awesome car and one should not think twice before buying this, but only if it fits in the budget.
