Top 5 Discounts on Cars This October: Maruti Jimny to Mahindra XUV700

Offering discounts is the most direct way to spur demand and is a technique followed by most carmakers, especially during the ongoing festive season

In this post, we shall discuss the top 5 discounts on cars for the month of October. We know that the September-November window is particularly critical for the Indian automobile industry. This is an auspicious time when people purchase all sorts of new items. While this also includes everything from personal items to home appliances and decorations, we are concerned about automobiles. This is the most favourable time to buy a new car since all major companies offer some sort of discount on their range of cars. I have shortlisted the top 5 biggest discounts on cars in India in October. Here are the details.

Top 5 Discounts on Cars This October

Maruti Jimny

Let us commence with the famous lightweight off-roading SUV, the Maruti Jimny. This is the first time in its over 5-decade-long history that the Japanese car marque has offered a 5-door iteration of the Jimny for the Indian market. From here, it is being exported to a lot of international markets. However, at present, the customers can get their hands on the Jimny with enticing offers and benefits. For the month of October, Jimny is available with upto Rs 2.5 lakh discount on the Alpha trim and Rs 1.95 lakh on the Zeta variant. These are huge prices for a vehicle that starts at Rs 12.74 lakh, ex-showroom. Therefore, if you were not sure about the Jimny, this might be the ideal time to consider it.

• Maruti Jimny Alpha – Rs 2.5 lakh
• Maruti Jimny Zeta – Rs 1.95 lakh

Mahindra Thar 4×4

This is a very interesting case in point. We know that Mahindra has launched the Thar Roxx, which is the 5-door iteration of the regular Thar. Hence, it offers tons of more practicality, a bunch of new-age tech and safety features, more off-roading amenities and tweaked powertrain options. As a result, people are finding more value in the Thar Roxx rather than the old 3-door Thar. Hence, the regular Thar 3-door is being offered with mammoth cash discounts of a whopping Rs 1.25 lakh. Additionally, there are Rs 25,000 worth of accessories you can get if you go for the 4×4 iteration. I believe this has to be the best time to add the 3-door Thar 4×4 to your garage.

• Cash Discount – Rs 1.25 lakh
• Accessories – Rs 25,000

Maruti Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid

Next up, we have the Maruti Grand Vitara strong hybrid. It is a mid-size SUV that rivals the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Sonet, VW Taigun, MG Astor, Skoda Kushaq, Honda Elevate, etc. in our market. This has to be the most brutally competitive category in our market. The strong hybrid version is great for those who want to own a car with ultra-low running costs. It has a mileage of a whopping 27.97 km/l. If you have a lot of running, this is the model to go for. This month, there are benefits worth up to Rs 1.03 lakh on the SUV. The breakdown is as follows:

• Cash Discount – Rs 50,000
• Exchange Bonus – Rs 50,000
• Corporate Benefit – Rs 3,100

Hyundai Alcazar

The next vehicle on this list of the top 5 discounts on cars in India for October 2024 is the Hyundai Alcazar. It is the 3-row offering from the Korean auto giant which is based on the immensely popular Creta. As is the case with all Hyundai cars, the Alcazar offers a premium experience to the buyers with tons of modern amenities, high-tech features and top-notch active and passive safety features. Not only that, buyers also get to choose from multiple powertrain and transmission combinations. This ensures that all sorts of potential customers get what they are looking for as per their needs. In this festive season, you are eligible to get benefits and offers worth up to Rs 85,000 on the Alcazar. Note that these are applicable to the pre-facelift model. The details incorporate:

• Cash Discount – Rs 55,000
• Exchange Bonus – Rs 30,000

Mahindra XUV700

Finally, we have the Mahindra XUV700 on this list as well. It is the flagship model on sale from the Indian auto giant in our market. Note that the facelift iteration of the XUV700 has been spied testing on the roads recently. Hence, Mahindra might want to clear the stock before the new model arrives. In fact, that is the reason why it is offering Rs 2.2 lakh worth of price cuts directly. It is not normal for carmakers to simply slash the prices of their cars so heavily unless they want to get rid of the inventory. This makes sense since it would want to make room for the new model. Otherwise, we have seen that dealerships have to offer crazy benefits to temp customers to buy these cars once the new model is on sale. These are the top 5 discounts on cars in India for October. I would suggest our readers make use of this opportunity and go for a car you were thinking of buying all along.
