The SUV comes with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine with the option of a 2.2-litre diesel engine. In 2023, the automaker introduced an RWD version of the SUV bringing the starting price down to Rs 10.98 lakh (ex-showroom).

All of this comes at a starting price of Rs 10.90 lakh (ex-showroom). However, those who want the ADAS system will need bigger pockets.
Tata Nexon
Tata Nexon is one of the SUVs that consistently appears on the list of top 10 best-selling cars. With the recent facelift, the model has received exteriors that attract the new generation. Along with it, the new feature list makes the car a good proposition. The car comes with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol with the option of a 1.5-litre diesel engine.
