Automobile manufacturers are offering huge discounts across different price brackets to lure in new customers during this festive season
Carmakers have been suffering from several setbacks prevailing in the automotive industry since late last year as even the best-selling models have struggled to meet their average monthly sales resulting in massive sales slumps not seen in the last two decades.
Thus, to capitalise on the positive sentiments normally exist during festive season every year, big discounts are being offered and we have listed some of the best of them. Maruti Suzuki is selling the Alto with total discount of Rs. 65,000 and it includes Rs. 40,000 cash discount, Rs. 20,000 exchange bonus and Rs. 5,000 corporate discount.
The Vitara Brezza, on the other hand, is sold with Rs. 1.01 lakh discount and it includes Rs. 50,000 cash discount, Rs. 10,000 corporate bonus, Rs. 20,000 exchange bonus and five-year extended warranty. The S-Cross gets total benefits of up to Rs. 1.12 lakh as well.
