Affordable And Safe Cars: Everyone wants to get a car with great features at a low price. Budget cars in India usually start from Rs 4 lakh. But do you know that if you spend only Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 more, you will not only get a car with better features, but can also buy a car with 4-star rating in terms of safety.
Companies like Maruti Suzuki are famous for low budget cars, but brands like Renault and Citroen have also offered some good options in this segment.
Challenges of affordable cars
Lack of safety features is often seen in cheap cars. The material used in these can sometimes prove dangerous during an accident. You must have often read about such incidents in the news. Therefore, choosing a safer option by spending a little more can be a wise move.
Get 4-star safety by paying Rs 30 thousand extra
If we look at low budget cars in India, Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 is a popular choice. Its starting ex-showroom price is Rs 3.99 lakh, but there is no safety rating in it. On the other hand, the starting price of Renault Kwid is Rs 4.70 lakh (ex-showroom). However, this car is also weak in terms of safety and has received only 1-star Global NCAP rating.
Now if only Rs 30,000 is added to the price of Renault Kwid, then you can buy the base model of Tata Tiago. The ex-showroom price of Tata Tiago is Rs 4.99 lakh and it has received a 4-star Global NCAP rating in terms of safety.
If you are thinking of buying a car in a low budget, then by spending a little extra you can choose a car with not only better features but also a safer one. Options like Tata Tiago are great for those who want an affordable but safe car.
