The budget-friendly cars to consider

Budget cars use fuel efficiently and are compact, attractive, allow easy parking, and have significantly lower premiums on insurance. That is why they are hot commodities in the car market. Gone is the era when the average car purchaser was restricted to 5 – 6 models of cars. The Indian car market has expanded remarkably over the last twenty years. In the present day and age, even the average buyer is flooded with dozens of alternatives. Given the swift multiplying of the middle class in the country, most car manufacturers are coming up with brand new and superior budget car models every year.
