Starting price is not the whole range. Each model starts below SUV under ₹10 L ex-showroom. The ranges above include higher trims that can cost considerably more, and exclude registration, road tax and insurance.
Read the rating in context. *Global NCAP results refer to the tested variant and protocol, not every trim on sale. "Not listed" means no result has been published for that model, which is not the same as a poor one.

SUVs Under ₹10 Lakh FAQs
The questions buyers ask most about this list, answered from current on-sale data.
Which is the most popular SUV under ₹10 lakh in India?
The Tata Nexon is among the best-selling SUVs under ₹10 lakh, valued for its running cost, features and service network. Other strong sellers in this list are Tata Punch and Maruti Suzuki Brezza.
Which is the cheapest SUV under ₹10 lakh?
The Maruti Suzuki Eeco is the most affordable, starting at ₹5.28 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher: registration, road tax and insurance typically add 10–15% depending on your state.
Which SUV under ₹10 lakh gives the best mileage?
The Kia Sonet claims the highest ARAI figure at 24.1 kmpl, followed by the Tata Nexon at 23.23 kmpl. These are certified test figures, and real-world mileage is usually lower.
Which is the safest SUV under ₹10 lakh?
The Tata Nexon, Tata Punch and Maruti Suzuki Brezza carry the best crash-test result here: 5 stars, though under different programmes (Bharat NCAP, Global NCAP), and results are not directly comparable across them. Check the variant you pick, as airbag count and ESC can differ by trim.
Are there any CNG SUVs under ₹10 lakh?
Yes. Tata Nexon, Tata Punch and Maruti Suzuki Brezza offer a factory CNG option, 14 models in all. Factory-fitted CNG keeps the warranty intact and costs noticeably less per kilometre than petrol, though boot space shrinks because of the cylinder.
Which SUVs under ₹10 lakh are available with an automatic gearbox?
Tata Nexon, Tata Punch and Maruti Suzuki Brezza are offered with an automatic, and most others here too, usually an AMT at this end of the market, which is cheaper than a CVT or torque converter but shifts more slowly.
What is the on-road price of an SUV under ₹10 lakh?
On-road price is the ex-showroom price plus RTO registration, road tax, insurance and any handling charge, which adds roughly 10–15% and varies by state. Tap any price in the table above to switch it to your city, or see the full break-up on the Tata Nexon page.
Which SUV under ₹10 lakh has the most boot space?
The MG Astor leads with 488 litres, ahead of the Citroën Basalt X at 470 litres.
