The 2025 festive season is in full swing and as is customary, carmakers are offering great deals and massive discounts and benefits on their respective portfolios. At the moment, only carmakers like Maruti, Hyundai, Tata, and Renault offer models in the compact hatchback and sub-compact SUV segments, and all have offers in their small car ranges. Without further ado, here are the biggest discounts, benefits and offers available on small cars this month.
Disclaimer: Discounts vary from city to city and are subject to stock availability. Please check with your local dealer for exact figures.
Maruti Baleno
Save up to Rs 1.05 lakh
Retailed via Maruti’s Nexa outlets, this premium hatchback rivals the Tata Altroz and Hyundai i20, and comes with a 90hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine that has manual gearbox and AMT options. A factory-fit CNG version is also on offer. Select Maruti Baleno variants have benefits to the tune of Rs 1.05 lakh this month; considering its price range is Rs 5.99 lakh-9.10 lakh, the discounts make Maruti’s premium hatchback a much more desirable buy.
