The demand for vehicles with sunroofs has skyrocketed in the previous few years. It’s a luxury most people can’t afford, yet many Indians still want it in their automobiles, despite the fact that it’s unsuited for their environment. As a result, carmakers have begun to include them in even the most basic models. The following are the best eight vehicles under Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) that come with a sunroof: –
1. Tata Nexon
This sub-4-meter SUV from Tata is the most economical option with a sunroof. The XM (S) trim, which is the most affordable, is priced under Rs 10 lakh. Both a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol and a 1.5-liter diesel engine are available, as well as a 6-speed manual or 6-speed AMT gearbox. In addition to the sunroof, this trim’s other notable features include automatic projector headlamps with LED DRLs, ConnectNext infotainment system By Harman, rain-sensitive wipers, Bluetooth connectivity, steering-mounted controls, 4-speakers, multiple drive modes, digital instrument cluster, electric ORVMs with auto fold function, braking assist (BS), hill-hold assist, dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP with Roll-Over Mitigation, traction control, and ISOFIX.
2. Honda Jazz
In addition to a single electric sunroof and LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs and fog lamps, the top-spec ZX Honda Jazz has an array of high-end features, including automatic climate control, paddle shifters (on CVT models only), a 7-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, cruise control, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, push-button start and dual airbags. As an option, it may be had with either a 5-speed manual or 7-step CVT transmission. Maruti Baleno, Toyota Glanza, Volkswagen Polo, and Hyundai i20 are all competitors for this Japanese premium hatchback. There is just an electric sunroof available on the Korean model.
3. Hyundai i20
The top-of-the-line Astra (O) model of the Hyundai i20 follows next. Only the 1.2-liter petrol-manual (83PS/115Nm) variant of this trim is available for less than Rs 10 lakh. The i20 Asta (O) trim’s full price list can be seen below. In the same way that Hyundai automobiles are recognised for their large list of amenities, the i20 is no exception. In addition, this Korean hatchback comes with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, BlueLink connected car technology with the remote functionality and wireless smartphone charger, an air purifier, a semi-digital instrument cluster, up to six airbags, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
4. Honda WRV
To fulfil your need for a sunroof, the WRV’s petrol-powered VX trim (Rs 9.75 lakh) is based on the Honda Jazz. CVT automatic gearbox is missing from the Jazz, despite its similar features and engine choices. The WR-V has a 1.5-liter diesel engine (100PS/200Nm) as an alternative, although the sunroof-equipped variant costs Rs 11.05 lakh.
5. Mahindra XUV300
Only the mid-spec W6 petrol-manual edition of the Mahindra XUV300 (Rs 9.91 lakh) makes it to our list of best SUVs, which was updated in February 2021 and now comes with a sunroof on all save its base-spec W4 trim, comparable to the Tata Nexon. Also, its 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine is the most powerful in its class at 110 PS/200 Nm.
6. Kia Sonet
In India, the Kia Sonet is one of the most popular sub-4-meter SUVs. A sunroof-equipped HTK+ model with a 1.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine (120PS/172Nm) and a 6-speed iMT costs at least Rs 9.79 lakh if you have your heart set on this Korean beast (intelligent manual transmission). Also included are automatic headlamps, projector fog lamps, front and rear silver skid plates, chrome-finished door handles and an 8″ infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ARKAMYS sound system with auto AC and a rearview camera as well as push start/stop functions and other features.
7. Ford Ecosport
Single-pane electric sunroof is standard on both 1.5-litre petrol (122PS/149Nm) and diesel (100PS/215Nm) EcoSport Titanium models, which were previously priced at Rs 9.99 lakh. As of now Ford stopped selling cars in India, you can still get the Ford Ecosport in mint condition at more chepar price. Projector headlights are also included, as well as a 9-inch touchscreen infomercial system (with neither Apple CarPlay or Android Auto), automatic air conditioning, keyless entry, a rear washer/wiper system, a rearview camera, and many more features.
8. Hyundai Venue
Sunroof-equipped Hyundai Venue SX models are priced similarly to Ford EcoSport Titanium and come with a choice of a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol (120PS/172Nm) or a 1.5-liter diesel engine (100 PS/240 Nm). As a standard feature, the SX’s 6-speed manual transmission is replaced with an iMT gearbox. Other than a rear-seat centre armrest, rear windshield washer and wiper, and wireless smartphone integration compatibility, this model’s feature set is almost identical to that of the Sonnet GTK+.
9. Hyundai Exter
The Hyundai Exter is a stylish and feature-packed compact SUV that offers a sunroof within a budget of ₹10 lakh. It comes with a modern design, a spacious cabin, and advanced features, making it an attractive option for buyers looking for an affordable car with a sunroof.
10. Maruti Brezza 2022
The recently launched Brezza 2022 by Maruti comes with a lot of goodies in it. This is the first car by Maruti that has a sunroof in it. The looks of the new brezza 2022 are very refreshing from every angle. The sub-4 metre SUV comes in LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+ variants. The price of the new brezza 2022 starts from Rs 7.99 lakh and Rs 13.96 lakh (ex-showroom). The waiting period for new brezza 2022 is around 2 months depending on the state you live in.
