Mercedes-Benz B Class

This big little Benz is priced a little over Rs. 22 lakh, which is a small price to pay considering the feel-good factor and the appeal of Merc. This seriously large-sized compact Sports Tourer boasts of spacious seats, an enormous boot and a smooth 1.6L direct-injection turbo-petrol engine. Currently available in B180 and B180 Sports, the B Class flaunts wheel arches, extensive drawn-out grille and athletic cues.

Mercedes-Benz C Class

Priced at Rs. 29 lakh, the Mercedes-Benz C Class immediately impresses with its solid build. Once nicknamed as 'Baby Benz' owing to its compact shape, this saloon comes in two engine options — 1.8L and 2.2L engine options of petrol and diesel. Thanks to its new facelift, the C Class now looks more focused on performance. And the new headlamps, restyled fog and tail lamps alongside new chrome finished grille just add to its infallible charm.

Audi Q3

Audi’s compact SUV, the Q3, which is also the youngest ‘Q’ after Q7 and Q5, is a handsome looking car, priced at Rs 27 lakh approx for the base variant. Launched in 2012, Audi has already sold over 500 units of the Q3, which clearly explains its growing craze. Currently available in sole diesel variant, the enticing mini SUV draws power from its 2.0L diesel motor, which is not only high on performance, but also frugal.

And the results were just mind-boggling. This modestly tweaked Audi, priced at less than Rs. 28 lakh (1.8L petrol model), comes with two more engine displacement options — 2.0L, 3.0L Quattro and boasts of top-notch interiors, sleek designing, sensuous curves and lines and a tastefully styled body to boot.

While the 2.0L base petrol model is priced close to Rs. 29 lakh, the other more powerful and luxurious variants can cost you up to Rs. 38 lakh.
