Check Out These Cheapest Cars under 6 Lakhs You Can Buy This Diwali

The GST 2.0 tax rationalization, effective September 22, 2025, has brought a game-changing opportunity for car buyers. Vehicles under four meters with petrol engines up to 1,200cc or diesel engines up to 1,500cc now attract only 18% GST, eliminating the previous 1–3% compensation cess. 

This has resulted in price cuts of 6–10%, bringing entry-level hatchbacks, compact sedans, and micro-SUVs into reach for a broader audience.

For the first time in a long time, models like the Maruti Alto K10 and S-Presso are priced below Rs 4 lakh ex-showroom, making car ownership more attainable. The Tata Punch is one of the safest 5-star cars you can buy for just 5.15 lakhs. While those with XL families can check out the new Triber 7-seater at just 5.76lkahs. 

The new Swift is also now a sub 6 lakh car as is the sporty hatch i10.

Even slightly higher trims and small SUVs now comfortably sit under Rs 6 lakh, offering value, safety, and city-friendly performance.
