Just when we thought that COVID-19 will slow down the auto industry, carmakers are coming up with new schemes which have boosted up the sales of the vehicles. Of course, they are nothing when compared with the 2019 sales chart but at least, it is picking the pace. Here, we will be telling you cars which are getting discounts up to Rs 1 lakh or more for some models!
Before we proceed and give you a list of cars and SUVs with discounts over Rs 1 Lakh, make sure you are a member of our exclusive 91Wheels Whatsapp group. Here, we discuss anything on wheels and give you an idea of the latest news on the automotive industry.
Mahindra Alturas : Rs 3.05 lakh off
The only SUV which hits the highest discount is the flagship of Mahindra, Alturas G4. Mahindra is offering discounts up to Rs 3.05 lakh which includes a straight away Rs 2.40 lakh and another Rs 50,000 as an exchange bonus. The corporate discount on this one sticks marginally low at Rs 15,000 but who's looking for that when they are getting Rs 2.40 lakh cash discount.
Mahindra Alturas competes with rivals like Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner. Despite being an SUV which provides an ultra-luxurious cabin, it has failed to impress the Indian market. It houses a 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel which makes 178 bhp with 420 Nm of peak torque.
