Zeta Smart Hybrid Rs 7.90 lakh XZ(O) Rs 7.75 lakh

All six premium hatchbacks come with a naturally aspirated petrol engine option paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox. From the table, it’s clear that the Altroz and Baleno are among the most affordable models here while the Jazz and i20 sit on the higher side of the segment.

It should be noted that the Baleno and its badge-engineered sibling, the Glanza, are unique as they get mild-hybrid options as well. The mild-hybrid engine option on the Baleno is only available with the mid-spec variants and cost about Rs 90,000 more than their respective non-hybrid. Meanwhile, the mild-hybrid Glanza costs Rs 47,000 more than the equivalent standard variant.

Alpha CVT Rs 8.96 lakh ZX CVT Rs 9.74 lakh

When comparing the petrol automatic versions, the i20 still comes across as expensive, but by a much smaller margin. The Baleno and the Glanza, are still the model of choice for the price conscious. The Jazz automatic is a close second on the price charts; the top-spec version is about Rs 4,000 more than the range-topping i20 petrol-CVT, though Hyundai does not offer the CVT with the Asta(O) trim.

While the Altroz is set to get a dual-clutch automatic unit in the future, the naturally aspirated Polo 1.0 is expected to remain a manual-only model.

The i20 turbo’s only rival comes in the form of the VW Polo 1.0 TSI. The i20 turbo in ‘clutch-less manual’ form costs Rs 72,000 more than the equivalent Polo TSI, while the dual-clutch automatic i20 turbo is priced at a whopping Rs 1.48 lakh more than the Polo TSI with the 6-speed torque convertor auto-box.
