The festive season is the most lucrative time of the year for car marques as people purchase new items including automobiles during this auspicious time
In this post, I have singled out the top 5 SUV discounts prevalent in October 2024. Offering discounts is the most direct route to spur demand. In fact, many carmakers offer benefits on those models throughout the year, which generally don’t sell well. However, the festive season (September to November) is a special time period when almost every automaker offers some discount on most of their lineup. The aim is to simply capitalize on the inherent tendency of potential customers to buy cars. For now, let us check out the most mouth-watering offers on some of India’s favourite SUVs this month.
Top 5 SUV Discounts in October
SUV | Discount (upto) |
Maruti Jimny | Rs 2.5 lakh |
Skoda Kushaq | Rs 2.5 lakh |
Mahindra Thar 4×4 | Rs 1.5 lakh |
Maruti Grand Vitara | Rs 1.03 lakh |
Hyundai Alcazar | Rs 85,000 |
Maruti Jimny
The first SUV on this list is the Maruti Jimny. It is among the most successful lightweight off-roading SUVs in the world. In fact, many customers opt for it in many international markets. Interestingly, in its 5-decade-long history, the current Indian avatar is the first time that it has a practical 5-door configuration. The aim is to make it accessible to a wider range of audience. It has not been doing so well on the sales charts as Maruti would’ve expected. Hence, to make the deal sweeter, the largest carmaker in the country is offering benefits of up to Rs 2.5 lakh on the Alpha variant. Not only that, buyers are even eligible for Rs 1.95 offers on the Zeta model. Hence, these are huge amounts for a car which has a selling price between Rs 12.74 lakh and Rs 15.05 lakh, ex-showroom.
- Maruti Jimny Alpha – Rs 2.5 lakh
- Maruti Jimny Zeta – Rs 1.95 lakh
Skoda Kushaq
Then we have the Skoda Kushaq on this list of top 5 SUV discounts in October. Kushaq belongs to the highly competitive mid-size SUV segment in our country. It rivals the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara and more. Therefore, it is difficult to grab new customers due to so many worthy options. To ease the financial burden a little, the Czech car marque is offering benefits worth up to Rs 2.5 lakh on the old stock of the Kushaq with 2 airbags. These include exchange and corporate benefits. Hence, if you wanted to get your hands on the Kushaq, this might be the right time.
Mahindra Thar 4×4
I admit that it was a bit surprising for me to see such enticing offers on the Thar 4×4. It is one of the most popular off-roading SUVs in the country. In fact, it has attained a cult status among adventure seekers. Moreover, people had to wait for a long time to get their hands on this vehicle initially due to huge waiting times. However, after the arrival and massive interest in the new Thar Roxx (5-door version of the Thar), people are linig up to buy that. Therefore, to ensure that the old Thar’s stock doesn’t pile up, the Indian SUV maker is offering benefits worth an enticing Rs 1.25 lakh. Furthermore, there are accessories worth Rs 25,000 available with it. This takes the total offer amount to Rs 1.50 lakh.
- Cash Discount – Rs 1.25 lakh
- Accessories – Rs 25,000
Maruti Grand Vitara
Next up, we have the Maruti Grand Vitara on this list. It is, again, a mid-size SUV. The largest car marque has taken some market share away from the Koreans (Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos) when it launched the Grand Vitara. Available in two engine options – a petrol and a strong hybrid – the Grand Vitara has been doing great on the sales charts ever since its inception. To make the deal even sweeter, the largest auto giant in India is offering discounts worth up to Rs 1.03 lakh on the strong hybrid version of the SUV. Note that this trim offers an incredible claimed mileage of 27.97 km/l. Car owners looking for low running costs opt for strong hybrid versions.
- Cash Discount – Rs 50,000
- Exchange Bonus – Rs 50,000
- Corporate Benefit – Rs 3,100
Hyundai Alcazar
Concluding this list of the top 5 SUV discounts in October is the Hyundai Alcazar. It is, essentially, the 7-seater version of the mighty Creta. However, I must mention that the Korean auto giant recently launched the new Alcazar. The discounts that I am discussing here are applicable to the pre-facelift model. Being a relatively premium 6-/7-seat SUV, it offers tons of modern amenities including attractive tech, convenience, safety and connectivity features. On top of that, customers can choose between various powertrains and transmissions. Hence, everyone can get what they want. In October, buyers are eligible to enjoy discounts worth up to Rs 85,000 on the Alcazar. This includes:
- Cash Discount – Rs 55,000
- Exchange Bonus – Rs 30,000
These are the top 5 SUVs you can get heavy discounts on if you end up buying any of these during this festive season. Happy Shopping!
