5. Maruti Suzuki Alto 800

The entry segment offering from Maruti Suzuki has a rich legacy. It stills sells in huge volumes and at one point in time, it topped the sales charts continuously for years thanks to the good fuel efficiency, low maintenance, affordable price range and Suzuki’s strong brand backing. Currently, it locks horn with the Renault Kwid and Datsun Redi-GO. 

4. Renault Kwid/Datsun Redi-GO

The entry-level hatchbacks from Renault and Datsun are on the 4th spot in the most frugal BS6 petrol cars list. Both these offerings share the same underpinnings and engine options and delivering great fuel efficiency of up to 22kmpl. However, it is the Renault Kwid's SUVish design and long features list that makes it a more desirable option. 

2. Maruti Suzuki Nexa Baleno/Toyota Glanza 

Well, this position is a tie because both these premium hatches are essentially the same, the only difference is the branding. Both Baleno and Glanza offer a large spacious cabin, rich feature list and of course a healthy mileage. They come with two petrol engine options – a 1.2-litre vvt, and a 1.2-litre dual-jet dual-vvt unit with micro-hybrid start-stop technology that helps it in delivering exceptional fuel economy and manages to top the regular engine which also offers a decent per litre range.

*Note: – The price difference between both cars seems pretty high but actually it is not. The Maruti Baleno is available in a choice of four variants (Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha), whereas the Toyota Glanza is only offered in two variants (G and V), which are based on the Baleno's top-spec Zeta and Alpha trims. While both hatchbacks get the same features and engine choices, the Glanza makes more sense to buy as it comes with 3 year/1 lakh km standard warranty compared to the 2 years/40,000km warranty for the Maruti Baleno. 

1. Maruti Suzuki Dzire 

The Compact Sedan from Suzuki has a large customer base, and its sales number tops the charts irrespective of the generation on offer. And the reason behind good sales has always primarily been its extraordinary fuel efficiency.
