The Indian automobile market is now brimming with many different car brands. For an Indian consumer, there are more than 700 different variants of cars available in India. And as more cars are being added every month to tap the potential of the growing Indian market, it is imperative that the second-hand car market grows in tandem.
If you are not in a mood to buy a new car to stay away from high depreciation, utilitarian reason or simply because of limited budget, we at CarWale have brought you a list of top 10 researched second hand cars from our website.
1. Maruti Suzuki Swift
USP: Fuel efficiency, looks, Maruti Suzuki's brand image
The new Swift may look more or less unchanged, which is one reason why Maruti Suzuki doesn't want to play more with a tried and tested formula. The looks of the Swift have made it the hottest hatchback in the Indian market since its debut in 2005. The car is compact, spacious and is an easy to drive hatchback that gives a good fuel economy at a competitive price.
2. Honda City
USP: Reliability, Honda's brand image, Fuel efficiency
The most preferred sedan for an Indian consumer has always been the Honda City, and this thing hasn't changed yet. Testimony to this fact is that it not only tops the list of sedans available in India, but is also second in the overall list. The City suits the needs of people looking for a mix of corporate styling and a sporty car. The sedan is a reliable car and with a backup of Honda's brand name and service, the sedan has managed to keep the age-old sales record on a high.
3. Maruti Suzuki Alto
USP: Affordability
The Maruti Suzuki Alto has topped the sales chart for years for simply being the most affordable hatchback from the Indo-Japanese manufacturer. The demand for the car has remained constant despite the advent of new vehicles in the small segment of cars in India due its resale value and low maintenance cost. People looking for a used car are on a budget and prefer a used Alto as it comes even cheaper.
4. Hyundai i10
USP: Looks, Affordability
The Hyundai i10 is one of the better looking cars in the entry-level segment in India. Apart from the cosmetic appearance, the small car offers an overall decent package, features, and relatively low maintenance.
5. Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire
USP: Compact car, Low price for a sedan
The Swift Dzire is the most affordable compact sedan from Maruti Suzuki, which itself is a good enough reason for it to be one of the most researched cars. In addition to this, the old version of the Dzire, which is a bigger car than the present compact car, is also included here. These used cars come at a good price and always have had a good resale value.
6. Hyundai Santro Xing
USP: Affordability, Reliability
Though the production of the Santro Xing has been stopped now, the pre-used car is still selling and has a good demand in the Indian market. It is the cheapest of Hyundai cars in the market and if anyone is looking for anything outside Maruti Suzuki, what better rival can a consumer find than a Hyundai Santro Xing.
7. Hyundai i20
USP: Premium hatchback, features
The Hyundai i20 is the premium most hatchback that people aspire to buy, especially to upgrade from an entry-level car. If you are still little away from planning to buy a new one, there are more than few examples of the used ones that may fulfill your needs for premium looks and a feature-rich cabin.
8. Maruti Suzuki WagonR
USP: Space, Reliability, Variants
High on space, easy to drive and company-fitted CNG and LPG kits, the Wagon R has everything one needs for it to be a perfect everyday companion. Needless to say, it comes with all other benefits of Maruti Suzuki cars like reliability, low maintenance, and high resale value.
9. Hyundai Verna
USP: Looks, features, Hyundai brand image
The Verna is Hyundai’s C-segment sedan known for its stunning looks and the elaborate features list. Little surprise then that it is one of the most researched cars in the second-hand car market. The Verna also had a diesel engine for a really long time, something that was introduced in the Honda City only in the last one year making it the preferred choice of a used diesel car.
10. Toyota Innova
USP: Most spacious MPV, reliability
The Toyota Innova has always been the volume spinner for the Japanese carmaker and was one of the first MPVs to be introduced in the Indian car market. Ever since then, it has remained the leader in the MPV segment of vehicles and is known for its cabin space, reliability, and low maintenance.
