Top 10 deals on hatchbacks in February 2014

After a slow December at the sales charts, January brings new vigour at the showrooms. Keeping the sales momentum running though is a tough task and most dealers resort to heavy discounting to keep pushing cars quickly off the shelf in February. Hatchbacks are the largest segment in the country and competition is cut-throat. Some cars like the Swift and Grand i10 are doing exceedingly well so it’s hard to find a good offer on these cars but there are many underperforming cars that require a carrot to entice car buyers to consider them. Here are the top ten cars with the best discounts and offers in the small car segment.

1. Maruti Suzuki A-Star

The A-Star is possibly the slowest selling Maruti and with the Celerio around, it just doesn’t make for a good purchase unless you get a sumptuous discount. And that’s exactly what you get - Rs 67,000 on each variant.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
A-Star	LXi	Cash Discount Rs 40000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	67000
A-Star	VXi	Cash Discount Rs 40000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	67000
A-Star	ZXi	Cash Discount Rs 40000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	67000
A-Star	VXi AT	Cash Discount Rs 40000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	67000
A-Star	ZXi ABS with Airbags	Cash Discount Rs 40000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	67000

2. Tata Indica Vista

The dismal sales run for Tata Motors has put the Vista on a perennial discount. But with the recent updates, the Vista makes for a smart buy. The Rs 45,000 cash discount and Rs 15 thousand exchange bonus is one of the best deals you can get on a hatchback too.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Indica Vista	Safire 65 BS IV GLX	Cash Discount Rs 45000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000	60000
Indica Vista	Safire 65 BS IV GVX	Cash Discount Rs 45000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000	60000

3. Maruti Wagon R Stingray

The Wagon R and the Stingray are strong selling models for Maruti but it seems that the Celerio is turning on the heat on these two cars too. The Stingray is going with a huge discount of around Rs 57,000.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Wagon R Stingray	LXi	Cash Discount Rs 30000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	57000

Wagon R Stingray	VXi (O)	Cash Discount Rs 30000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	57000

4. Maruti Wagon R

The Wagon R like the Stingray is being offered at a tempting discount of Rs 52,000. The city slick Wagon R has excellent resale value so you are in effect getting a better deal than most cars on this list.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Wagon R	LX	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	52000

Wagon R	VXi ABS	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	52000

5. Tata Nano

The cheapest car in the world is even cheaper with the Rs 45,000 worth deals on offer. That’s more than 20 percent off the price of the car. Is this entry level car segment shrinking? We think so, because the Alto 800 too is available at a similar discount indicating lesser demand for these cars.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Nano	STD	Cash Discounts Rs 30000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000	45000
Nano	CX	Cash Discounts Rs 30000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000	45000
Nano	LX	Cash Discounts Rs 30000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000	45000
Nano	CNG emax CX	Cash Discounts Rs 30000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000	45000
Nano	CNG emax LX	Cash Discounts Rs 30000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000	45000

6. Ford Figo

The Figo is the most capable car on this list but is showing its age. Even after its latest refresh, some bright colours and interesting features like WiFi connectivity in the car, Ford isn’t able to draw as many prospective customers to its showrooms as it would like. So the Figo is going for discounts between Rs38,000 to Rs 45,000 depending on the variant.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Figo	1.2 Duratec LXI	Free Insurance Rs 13124 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 5000	38124
Figo	1.2 Duratec EXI	Free Insurance Rs 14189 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 5000	39189
Figo	1.2 Duratec ZXI	Free Insurance Rs 15059 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 5000	40059

Figo	1.2 Duratorq Titanium	Free Insurance Rs 19208 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 5000	44208

7. Maruti Alto 800

The Alto sells like hot cakes but there’s always some deal on it. Like most Maruti offers, the Alto 800 gets a cash discount bundled with an exchange bonus and corporate discount on it totaling to Rs 42,000. The K10 though doesn’t have any offers on it.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Alto 800	STD	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	42000

Alto 800	Anniversary Edition	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	42000

8. Maruti Ritz

The Ritz feels like the Swift’s neglected sibling on the sales charts. Now with the new Swift, Maruti hasn’t updated the Ritz so it’s not surprising that it doesn’t sell as well. But that means it is coming with some good deals, especially on the diesel trims that go up to Rs 42,000. The petrols are available at a mere Rs 22,000 discount though showing increased demand for the petrol models with the reducing gap between the two fuels.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Ritz	LXi	Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	22000
Ritz	VXi	Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	22000

Ritz	VXi AT	Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	22000
Ritz	ZXi	Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	22000
Ritz	Ldi	Cash Discount Rs 20000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	42000
Ritz	Vdi	Cash Discount Rs 20000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	42000
Ritz	Vdi ABS	Cash Discount Rs 20000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	42000
Ritz	Zdi	Cash Discount Rs 20000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	42000

9. Chevrolet Beat

Chevrolet has recently given the Beat a facelift and is continuing to give deals worth Rs 33,000 on all its variants. This is possibly to combat Maruti’s Celerio. The Celerio has ruffled a lot of feathers with its pricing and AMT transmission and cars like the Figo, Beat and i10 fall in its crosshairs.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Beat	1.2 PS	Cash Discounts Rs 15000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate discounts Rs 3000	33000
Beat	1.2 LS	Cash Discounts Rs 15000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate discounts Rs 3000	33000

Beat	Diesel LT (O)	Cash Discounts Rs 15000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate discounts Rs 3000	33000

10. Hyundai i10

Hyundai isn’t offering many offers on the i10 but the Era and Magna variants do come with free insurance, exchange bonus and a corporate discount bundling to around Rs 30,000.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
I10	1.1 Era	Free Insurance Rs 12541 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate Bonus Rs 3000	30541
