Mahindra Bolero B4

The most affordable car and very useful for any work. The mileage is very good and the suspension is very nice. You can go everywhere you want in and very good-looking car. The road presense of this are very insane, and most affordable and very useful for work every day. I love this, and I genuinely recommend this car.

Superb

Citroen C3 Live 1.2 Petrol

Looks are stunning at this price range. Suspension is awesome. The second servicing was done recently. The base variant does not have a central locking feature. I got it installed in the aftermarket. Engine performance is also good. Mileage is around 19 With AC and Four passengers

Maruti Fronx AMT vs Hyundai Exter AMT: Space, Features, Mileage & Performance Comparison

By Sagar Bhanushali19 Mar 2025

So you have Rs. 10 lakh to spend on a nice automatic car, but you don’t want a typical hatchback or a compact sedan. What are your options then? It’s pretty much either the Hyundai Exter or the Maruti Fronx.

Hyundai Exter First Drive Review

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray17 Jul 2023

With the Exter, Hyundai has done its homework and has made the overall package quite difficult to overlook.

Hyundai Exter First Look

By Jay Shah10 Jul 2023

Hyundai has launched its smallest and most compact SUV in India. It’s called the Exter and this one slots below the Venue and is based on the brand’s entry-level hatchback, the Grand i10 Nios. The Exter is a petrol-only SUV with a CNG variant, is offered in seven variants and is a direct rival to the Tata Punch. Let’s take a closer look at it.
