A real value for money car for indian middle class family

The Renault Kiger 1 litre engine is best for being quick, relaxed, and effortless to drive both in traffic and on highways as well. Fuel efficiency ranges between 15–20 km/l. You can get higher mileage in its eco mode. Drive modes allow for adaptable performance and fuel economy. The suspension setup is tuned more toward comfort, and you feel relaxed with ample space inside the car. Driving in both city and highways is more comfortable, it's a reliable family car suited to Indian road conditions, as a compact SUV.

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
