Sorted by price, lowest first. The price is that of the cheapest variant that qualifies, named under it. Prices were checked against each maker's own price list between 28 September 2026 and 30 September 2026. Ex-showroom prices change often and vary by state and city; each car's page names the city and date.
How this list is built
- “Under ₹15 lakh” counts a variant priced at that amount or less, ex-showroom: ₹15,00,000 itself is included.
- Only the adult-occupant star rating is used. A rating is attached to the variants that the rating programme or the maker says it covers, so cheaper variants of the same car may not carry it.
- Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP use different test protocols and scoring, so their scores are not directly comparable. Prices are ex-showroom, as each maker publishes them. The price shown for a car is its cheapest qualifying variant.
- Every figure comes from the maker's own material or from the rating programme, with the source and date on each car's page. A dash means the figure is not in CarSarthi's data yet.
- This is a list of facts, not a ranking of which car is better.
