The festive season is here and that means customers will loosen their purse strings to buy their dream car. More than any other segment, the affordable SUV space has skyrocketed in terms of sales as it has become a more attractive buy than a sedan or hatchback. In this feature we list out the best and the most affordable SUVs which are priced below Rs 10 lakh.

Hyundai Exter

The new Exter is now one of the best buys in its class due to its feature list plus the aggressive pricing along with having more safety features. The Exter might be the smallest SUV from Hyundai but the features list includes a dashcam, paddle shifters for its automated manual transmission (AMT) version, auto climate control, Over-the-air (OTA) updates, six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), hill assist control, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), rear parking camera, sunroof voice assisted etc. If we talk about dimensions then the length of the Exter is at 3,815mm while its width stands at 1710mm along with a ground clearance of 185mm. The Exter comes with a 1.2l petrol with a manual and an AMT gearbox. Starts from Rs 6 lakh.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx

The Fronx has impressed us with its styling and value quotient while the coupe-like roofline is something quite refreshing in terms of the design. The headlamp design and front has a resemblance to the bigger Grand Vitara but the slanting roofline is what makes this car unique in design. If we talk about the length then the Fronx, it is 3,995 mm while having a width of 1,765 mm. The ground clearance of the Fronx comes in at 190 mm.

The price starts from Rs 7.4 lakh.

Tata Punch

The Punch has always been a big seller in this segment owing to its toughness plus the design. Recently Tata Motors added new features to the Punch with the addition of an electric sunroof with voice assist plus auto headlamps and more. If we talk about the dimensions of the Punch, it has a length of 3827 mm along with a width of 1742 mm plus it has a ground clearance of 187 mm. The design is radical with the Harrier like design front end along with interesting details. It is also rugged and handles our roads quite well in a compact package. Prices start at Rs 6 lakh.
