Don't Assume Every Discount Applies to You
The headline discount isn't necessarily the amount every customer will receive.
Before making a booking, ask the dealer to provide a complete breakup of:
- Cash discount
- Exchange bonus
- Scrappage benefit
- Loyalty discount
- Corporate benefit
- Finance-related offers
- Extended warranty benefits
- Dealer-specific discounts
Also check whether the offer applies to your specific variant and whether it can be combined with other benefits.
Which Deal Looks Most Attractive?
If you're considering an electric SUV, the Tata Harrier EV stands out because the maximum combined benefit can reach ₹3.25 lakh for eligible buyers.
For a hybrid SUV, the Maruti Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid has several incentives that could make the overall deal attractive. Meanwhile, buyers looking for a mainstream SUV can consider the Hyundai Creta, while the Kia Sonet and Syros offer smaller but potentially useful benefits.
