Maruti Suzuki has long been India’s go-to brand for affordable, reliable, and fuel-efficient cars. With recent price revisions and GST benefits, several of its popular models now fall comfortably under the ₹10 lakh mark. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to upgrade to a more premium yet budget-friendly option, Maruti’s lineup offers something for everyone — from sporty hatchbacks like the Swift and Baleno to practical choices like the Dzire sedan and the family-friendly Brezza and Ertiga. Here’s a look at five of the best Maruti Suzuki cars you can buy under ₹10 lakh in India.
5 Maruti Suzuki cars under ₹10 lakh
| Models | Starting ex-showroom price |
|---|---|
| Maruti Suzuki Brezza | ₹8.26 lakh |
| Maruti Suzuki Swift | ₹5.79 lakh |
| Maruti Suzuki Dzire | ₹6.26 lakh |
| Maruti Suzuki Ertiga | ₹8.80 lakh |
| Maruti Suzuki Baleno | ₹5.99 lakh |
Starting ex-showroom price: ₹8.26 lakh
Variants & range: LXi petrol at ₹8.26 lakh, CNG variant LXi ~ ₹9.17 lakh
What you get: Compact SUV styling, higher ride height, decent ground clearance, and appeals to buyers wanting an SUV feel without moving to a full-sized SUV. The lower variants will have basic features; higher trims and fuel type options will push the price upward.
Pros/Cons: Good road presence, more cabin space / comfort compared to small hatchbacks. But in higher trims or with extras, it may cross your budget. Also, check fuel efficiency in real conditions, especially for petrol vs CNG, if you are considering running costs.
Starting ex-showroom price: ₹5.79 lakh
Variants & range: LXi petrol at ₹8.26 lakh, CNG VXi variant ~ ₹7.45 lakh
What you get: A sporty hatchback style, reliable performance and good resale value. The mid and top trims offer more features like infotainment, safety features and better interiors.
Pros/Cons: Very popular & trusted. Top trims may push close to the pricing of Baleno, which sits in a segment above, so base/mid trims are safer bets. Also, the new three-cylinder engine lacks the punch that the four-cylinder unit had.
Starting ex-showroom price: ₹6.26 lakh
Variants & range: LXi petrol at ₹6.26 lakh, CNG VXi variant ~ ₹8.03 lakh
What you get: A good-looking sedan for small families who want a compact sedan look and feel. It also comes with added advantage of being a Maruti Suzuki which means reliability and good after-sales support.
Pros/Cons: Elegant looks, comfortable ride; but the trunk adds bulk and may reduce rear visibility. Also, higher trims may cross your budget limit.
4. Maruti Ertiga (Lower variants)
Starting ex-showroom price: ₹8.80 lakh
Variants & range: LXi petrol at ₹8.80 lakh
What you get: A 7-seater MPV, more space, good for families or those wanting extra passenger/boot flexibility.
Pros/Cons: Versatility is its strength—lots of space. But the base variants might skip on premium features, and fuel efficiency will be lower compared to hatchbacks. Also, mid / top and CNG variants go well above ₹10 lakh.
Starting ex-showroom price: ₹5.99 lakh
Variants & range: Sigma petrol at ₹5.99 lakh and Delta CNG at ₹7.70 lakh
What you get: Spacious premium hatchback, good feature set, comfortable ride for daily commuting or highway runs.
Pros/Cons: Well balanced in terms of size, comfort, and price. But the top trims will push it above ₹10 lakh. Be careful in variant/feature selection because you can get the higher variants of the Swift in the similar price range.
