5 Irresistible October SUV Deals Offering Discounts Up to ₹2.5 Lakh in India

As the festive season kicks off in October 2024, it’s an ideal time for car buyers to seize exciting discounts on SUVs. Automakers are eager to boost sales during this period, offering substantial deals across their lineups, particularly on models that may not have sold as well throughout the year. This month, we highlight the top five SUV discounts, featuring popular options like the Maruti Jimny and Skoda Kushaq.

Maruti Jimny – Up to ₹2.5 Lakh

Leading our list is the Maruti Jimny, one of the most popular lightweight off-road SUVs globally. While favoured in several international markets, current-gen Jimny sales haven’t met Maruti’s expectations. To attract buyers, the company is offering discounts of up to ₹2.5 lakh on the Alpha variant, along with ₹1.95 lakh in offers on the Zeta model. These significant discounts are especially appealing for a vehicle priced between ₹12.74 lakh and ₹15.05 lakh (ex-showroom).

Skoda Kushaq – Up to ₹2.5 Lakh

Next is the Skoda Kushaq, a strong competitor in the mid-size SUV segment. If you’ve been considering the Kushaq, now is a great time to act. Competing with models like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara, Skoda is offering discounts of up to ₹2.5 lakh on older stock equipped with two airbags, which includes exchange and corporate incentives.

Mahindra Thar 3-Door – Up to ₹1.25 Lakh

The Mahindra Thar 3-door remains a favourite among off-roading enthusiasts, known for its rugged charm and adventurous spirit. Initially, high demand led to long waiting periods for this iconic SUV. However, interest has surged with the arrival of the new Thar Roxx (the 5-door variant). Mahindra is now offering a ₹1.25 lakh incentive on the Thar 3-door, along with accessories valued at ₹25,000, totalling an impressive ₹1.50 lakh.

Maruti Grand Vitara – Up to ₹1.03 Lakh

The Maruti Grand Vitara stands out in the mid-size SUV segment, capturing market share from competitors like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos since its launch. Available in both petrol and strong hybrid variants, the Grand Vitara has performed well in sales. To enhance its appeal, Maruti is now providing discounts of up to ₹1.03 lakh on the strong hybrid version, which boasts a remarkable claimed mileage of 27.97 km/l, appealing to cost-conscious car owners.

Hyundai Alcazar – Up to ₹85,000

Rounding out our list is the Hyundai Alcazar, the 7-seater version of the popular Creta. The discounts mentioned here apply to the pre-facelift model, as Hyundai has recently launched an updated version of the Alcazar. This premium 6- or 7-seat SUV is equipped with modern amenities, advanced technology, and robust safety and connectivity features. In October, buyers can enjoy discounts of up to ₹85,000 on the Alcazar, including a cash discount of ₹55,000 and an exchange bonus of ₹30,000.
