Best Used Sedans Under 5 Lakh and 5 Years Covering Less Than 50,000 Kilometers that You Can Drive in Kolkata From Cartoq TRUE PRICE
Do you want to purchase a used sedan but have a tight budget? Is 5 lakh the price ceiling you do not wish to break? Are your demands specific to Kolkata? If your answer is yes, then worry no more, for we have you covered with a comprehensive list for your requirements.
You might think your demands are too specific, but even with your specific needs you will be burdened with countless options on leading car websites. Moreover, they will have listings of cars that have not been neatly sorted, and hence are not in a position to give you the best deal. How do you arrive at getting the right car then?
Used car websites are usually of little use, even with their multiple filters. The onus of sorting the information remains on you, and who wants to be handling so much data? Fortunately, we have got just the right solution for you through the Cartoq TRUE PRICE.

By deploying the Cartoq TRUE PRICE, we help you identify the best deals. The Cartoq Data Science team has built a Machine Learning model that estimates the TRUE PRICE of a used car, after accounting for all sorts of variables – brand, model, age, mileage, and car type.
With all factors accounted for, the model predicts the TRUE PRICE, which then becomes the basis of comparison across cars. The best deals are those where the listed price is lower than the TRUE PRICE. So, we scan through the car listings across major used car sites, compute their TRUE PRICE, and present the best deals for you.
The shortlist for this article was based on the analysis we ran on June 25, 2019; so, by the time you read this article, there is a good chance that the specific car may no longer be available.
However, this list still provides plenty of useful pointers even if certain specific cars have already been sold out.
Three manufacturers fight it out for your attention here, which means:
- Ample competition, plenty of features and variety for you to explore.
- Honda and Maruti are at the top of their game in this battle, though Hyundai also provides a feasible alternative.
Without further ado, let’s check out our top recommendations.
Recommendation #1: Honda City i DTEC VX
Year: 2014 / Mileage: 37,298 / List Price: Rs. 459,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 1,319,000
Why buy: This first owner sedan comes in a stylish silver colour and runs on diesel. Spacious and comfortable, economic and powerful, it has all the major factors going for it, from price to mileage. At five years old, it still has a lot more to offer, and is, undoubtedly, one of the best deals in the sedan segment.
Recommendation #2: Maruti Suzuki SX4 ZDi Opt
Year: 2014 / Mileage: 36,233 / List Price: Rs. 299,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 953,823
Why buy: Another first owner car, this vehicle is also fueled by diesel and is available in a soothing shade of grey. What makes it an appealing buy is its modest price and the fact that it is yet to touch 40,000 kilometers on the odometer. Potential buyers are definitely looking at a long-term investment here, and a successful one at that.
Recommendation #3: Honda City i DTEC SV
Year: 2014 / Mileage: 40,000 / List Price: Rs. 450,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 1.110,000
Why buy: Residing with its first owner, this diesel sedan is a treat for the eyes with its elegant red colour and sharp looks. What affects its saleability is the relatively steep price and distance clocked, both of which are higher than most of its competitors in the category. However, given its track record, it still makes for a sensible purchase, and should run smoothly for a handful of years.
Recommendation #4: Maruti Suzuki SX4 ZDi
Year: 2014 / Mileage: 41,001 / List Price: Rs. 370,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 897,607
Why buy: Running on diesel, this is one of the more durable cars on this segment with a middle of the range price that does its appeal no harm. Currently placed with its first owner, this white sedan is perfect for dealing with the exhausting traffic of Kolkata, and should be a decent fit for nuclear families, too.
Recommendation #5: Hyundai Verna Fluidic 1.6 CRDI EX
Year: 2014 / Mileage: 35,000 / List Price: Rs. 411,600 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 962,000
Why buy: This spick and span first owner car is immediately eye-catching because of its bright cherry red exterior. Running on diesel, it may not pack the same punch as the options above it on this list, but can be the best match for beginners or those looking for a transitional car between two big purchases.
In Summary
Sedans in Kolkata for this price range will always be in high demand, and all these five cars are viable buys, primarily because of their reliable performance. Brand loyalty may play a factor in your decision in this category, but five top-of-the-shelf cars mean that most buyers will be spoilt for choice.
