Petrol cars in India
Deep, structured model reviews for every car Autovisor has profiled — variants, real-world mileage, ownership costs, safety and the AI Advisor's verdict.
Innova Hycross
Seven or eight seats, petrol CVT or strong hybrid — a large family MPV; compare the hybrid premium and your exact seating needs.
Creta
The default family compact SUV — widest engine choice, class-leading rear seat and the strongest resale in its segment.
Seltos
All-new second generation (2026) — bigger than the Creta, 5-star Bharat NCAP, turbo-petrol DCT and diesel automatic.
Grand Vitara
The running-cost winner — a strong hybrid returning 27+ km/l real-world, with a smaller boot as the trade.
Urban Cruiser Hyryder
Same hybrid tech as the Grand Vitara, wrapped in Toyota's longer warranty and steadier long-term ownership story.
Elevate
The comfort pick — the softest ride in the class and Honda reliability, with a conservative feature list.
Taigun
The driver's compact SUV — 5-star Global NCAP structure and TSI turbo-petrols, with a thinner service network.
Nexon
Safety-first sub-4m SUV — 5-star Bharat NCAP, turbo-petrol and diesel, plus a genuine dual-clutch automatic.
Brezza
The low-friction choice — smooth four-cylinder petrol, a true torque-converter automatic and the best resale here.
Venue
The technology-led city SUV — best-in-class infotainment and three engines, in a narrower cabin.
XUV 3XO
The widest, fastest and most feature-dense sub-4m SUV — 5-star Bharat NCAP, with the smallest boot in the class.
XUV 7XO
The XUV700's successor — 200 PS petrol or 185 PS diesel, seven seats standard (six optional), 5-star Bharat NCAP and AWD on diesel automatics.
Scorpio-N
The genuine ladder-frame SUV — rear-wheel drive as standard, real low-range 4WD on top diesel trims, six or seven seats.
Curvv
The coupe-SUV that keeps the substance — 5-star Bharat NCAP, a 500-litre boot and a rare diesel automatic, at the cost of rear headroom.
Punch
SUV height and a 5-star-rated body in a 3.8-metre footprint — the city car for buyers who want to feel substantial without paying sub-4m SUV money.
Swift
The low-friction small car — 24.8 km/l claimed, six airbags across the range and the widest service network in India, with a small boot as the trade.
Baleno
The roomy, four-cylinder premium hatchback — 318-litre boot and real rear-seat space, sold through NEXA at close to Swift running costs.
Alto K10
The cheapest sensible new car in India — 67 PS, a bargain AGS automatic and 33.85 km/kg on CNG, strictly for city use.
Dzire
India's default compact sedan — a 382-litre boot, an adult-friendly rear seat and hatchback running costs, with a 5-star Global NCAP adult result.
Wagon R
The tall-boy city car — stand-up headroom, chair-height seats and the lowest ownership friction under ₹8 lakh, with honest highway limits.
Ertiga
The most rational seven-seater in India — a genuinely usable third row and a real six-speed automatic, with only 209 litres of luggage space when full.
Fronx
Baleno hardware with crossover height — the best-riding sub-4m crossover, and the only Maruti under ₹14 lakh with a turbo and a torque-converter automatic.
Sonet
The widest powertrain choice in the sub-4m class — three engines, five gearboxes, and the segment's only diesel torque-converter automatic.
Thar
Real body-on-frame 4x4 capability and unmatched presence — bought despite the three-door practicality, not because of it.
Tiago
The best-riding car under ₹7 lakh, and with twin-cylinder iCNG the cheapest per kilometre to run in its class.
Altroz
The premium hatchback bought on solidity and fuel choice — petrol, CNG, diesel and a dual-clutch automatic in one range.
City
The rear-seat and ride-quality benchmark at this price — a sedan case worth making, with an e:HEV hybrid at the top of the range.
Amaze
One engine, three trims — you pay for a smooth four-cylinder, a real CVT and segment-rare ADAS rather than a long feature list.
Exter
A tall, feature-dense city car with 185 mm of clearance and a boot-friendly twin-cylinder CNG option — honest about not being a real SUV.
i20
The best-finished cabin in the hatchback class, now with one engine and seven trims — bought for how it feels, not how it accelerates.
Verna
Two sedans in one shell — an efficient 1.5 MPi family car and a 160 PS turbo that is the quickest thing in the segment.
XL6
A six-seat MPV built around second-row captain chairs, a real six-speed automatic and factory CNG — comfort for four, capacity for six.
Carens
Seven seats on a 2,780 mm wheelbase in a deliberately basic single-trim, manual-only range — bought for packaging, not equipment.
Thar ROXX
Thar character with five doors and a five-star Bharat NCAP result — but petrol is rear-wheel drive only and 4XPLOR starts at MX5.
Kylaq
A 115 PS 1.0 TSI, European road manners and five-star Bharat NCAP with six airbags from the base trim — network and fuel bills are the trade-off.
Jimny
1,645 mm wide with low-range four-wheel drive standard on every variant — four seats and a 219-litre boot are the price of that capability.
Glanza
Baleno engineering with Toyota ownership — six airbags on every variant, factory CNG and a three-year/100,000 km standard warranty.
Virtus
A 521-litre boot, five-star Global NCAP and a 150 PS 1.5 TSI DSG — the best-driving sedan in the class, with a smaller network as the trade-off.
Triber
Seven seats under four metres with a removable third row and a new 100 PS turbo — the cheapest three-row car, for occasional seven-up use.
Rumion
Ertiga engineering sold and serviced by Toyota — a real adult third row, torque-converter automatic and CNG; worth it when your Toyota dealer is the better one.
Safari
Five-star Global and Bharat NCAP, six or seven seats, 170 PS petrol or diesel — for families who genuinely fill the third row.
Celerio
Maruti's running-cost hatchback — 34.43 km/kg CNG, six airbags standard and a bigger boot than the Wagon R.
