SUVs — FAQs
The questions buyers ask most about this list, answered from current on-sale data.
Which is the most popular SUV in India?
The Tata Punch is currently among the best-selling SUVs in India. Other strong sellers in this list are Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
Which is the cheapest SUV?
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 gives the best mileage?
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris claims the highest ARAI figure at 28.65 kmpl, followed by the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara at 27.97 kmpl. These are certified test figures — real-world mileage is usually lower.
Which is the safest SUV?
The Tata Punch, Kia Seltos and Toyota Innova Hycross carry the best crash-test result here — 5 stars in Bharat NCAP. Check the variant you pick, as airbag count and ESC can differ by trim.
Are there any CNG SUVs?
Yes — Tata Punch, Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza offer a factory CNG option, 18 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 are available with an automatic gearbox?
Tata Punch, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos are offered with an automatic, 149 of the 158 here in total — 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?
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 Punch page.
