Affordable cars, SUVs with sunroof under Rs 8 lakh: Hyundai i20, Punch and more

Sunroofs are increasingly being offered in affordable cars in India, including models priced under Rs 8 lakh, reflecting a change in buyer demand and product strategy. Manufacturers have started introducing this feature in entry-level hatchbacks and compact SUVs, primarily in mid-trim, to attract young, urban buyers. The move is in line with a broader trend to prioritize cost and efficiency as well as features, design and cabin experience, reshaping a segment traditionally focused on basic transportation. Increasing competition in the entry-level and compact SUV sector has led carmakers to add features as key differentiators. In turn, buyers are often willing to stretch their budget within this range for variants that offer a more premium experience, making the sunroof a notable attraction.
