Affordable and Safe Cars: Everyone wants to get a car with great features at an affordable price. Cheap cars in India usually start at 4,000 rupees. But do you know that if you spend just Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 more, you can not only get a car with better features but also buy a car with a 4-star safety rating?

Companies like Maruti Suzuki are known for affordable cars, but brands like Renault and Citroen have also offered some good options in this segment.

Challenges of affordable cars
Cheap cars often lack safety features. The material used in it can sometimes prove dangerous in an accident. You have probably read about such incidents in the news many times. Therefore, it may be wise to opt for a safer option and spend a little more.

Get 4-star security by paying an additional Rs 30,000
If we look at low budget cars in India, Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 is a popular choice. The starting price ex-showroom is Rs 3.99 lakh but there is no safety rating. On the other hand, the starting price of the Renault Kwid is Rs 4.70 lakh (ex-showroom). However, this car is also weak when it comes to safety and has only received a 1-star Global NCAP rating.

Now, by adding just Rs 30,000 to the price of the Renault Kwid, you can buy the base model of the Tata Tiago. The ex-showroom price of Tata Tiago is Rs 4.99 lakh and it has received a 4-star Global NCAP rating for safety.

If you are thinking of buying a car on a budget, spending a little more money can help you opt for a car that not only has better features but is also safer. Options like Tata Tiago are ideal for those looking for an affordable but safe car.
