Affordable cars,SUVs with sunroof under Rs 8 lakh: Hyundai i20, Punch & more

Sunroofs are increasingly being offered in affordable cars in India, including models priced under Rs 8 lakh, reflecting a shift in buyer demand and product strategy. Manufacturers have begun introducing this feature in entry-level hatchbacks and compact SUVs, primarily in mid trims, to appeal to younger, urban buyers. The move aligns with a broader trend of prioritising features, design and cabin experience alongside cost and efficiency, reshaping a segment traditionally focused on basic transport. Rising competition in the entry-level and compact SUV space has further pushed carmakers to add features as key differentiators. Buyers, in turn, are often willing to extend their budgets within this range for variants that offer a more premium experience, making sunroofs a notable draw.
