Best Used Hatchbacks & Compact Sedans That Have Done Less Than 50,000 KM in Bengaluru From Cartoq TRUE PRICE
Do you want to purchase a used car but not a rundown one? Are you looking for a reliable ride car with a pocket pinch of around Rs 5 lakh? Not sure whether a hatchback or a compact sedan would fit your bill best? If your answer is yes, you are reading the right article. You might think your needs are too specific, but even with your parameters you will invariably get overwhelmed with a plethora of options for your demands on major car websites. Moreover, they will have listings of cars with varying prices, often exceeding your desired pocket pinch. How do you distill so much of data to arrive at the right decision? How do you weigh up so many options to make the perfect choice?
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 deal with such hassles? 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 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 18, 2019; so by the time you read this article, there is a good chance that the specific car may no longer be available. However, the list still provides plenty of useful pointers even if certain specific cars have already been sold out.
This list contains five cars from four different manufacturers, which means:
• There are unique benefits to be had
• Toyota is a clear favorite even with a high-end price, but others provide a wide range of advantages, too.
Without further ado, let’s check out our top recommendations.
Recommendation #1: Toyota Etios Cross 1.4L VD
Year: 2018 / Mileage: 35,000 / List Price: Rs. 500,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 797,000
Why buy: You might be wondering why this car features on the list given that it costs more than a new hatchback, but look closely at the attributes and you will be left in no doubt that this would be a worthwhile investment. Debuting only last year, it has clocked up a mere 35,000 kilometers, and is semi-new. A first-owner car and running on diesel, this vehicle is equipped with an excellent mileage and an efficient braking system and is a deserving candidate atop this list.
Recommendation #2: Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 VXi
Year: 2013 / Mileage: 25,414 / List Price: Rs. 187,527 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 371,418
Why buy: Just below pole position is this compact and dependable Alto that has hardly troubled the odometer thus far. Powered by petrol, this is also a first-owner vehicle that has a prim and proper appearance, and is bound to be an economic and intelligent purchase, especially for novice drivers.
Recommendation #3: Hyundai Eon Magna +
Year: 2014 / Mileage: 13,850 / List Price: Rs. 230,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 417,000
Why buy: Yet another first-owner car, this vehicle comes in a sophisticated grey color and is, by some distance, the least driven car on this list. Operating on petrol and with its original RC copy available, this would make for a sensible purchase, as it combines best-in-class build with a good fuel economy and smart looks.
Recommendation #4: Honda Amaze 1.5 S i-DTEC
Year: 2013 / Mileage: 23,652 / List Price: Rs. 379,376 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 706,000
Why buy: Residing currently with its first owner, running on diesel, and boasting a stylish hue of blue, this is a power-packed sedan that may be costlier than its competitors on this list, but will yield good return on investment owing to its greater passenger comfort and spaciousness.
Recommendation #5: Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 VXI
Year: 2014 / Mileage: 23,652 / List Price: Rs. 246,144 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 371,418
Why buy: Having travelled just under 24,000 kilometers, this car still has plenty to offer and can easily be used for a handful of years. A prime example of Alto’s consistency, this hatchback also belongs to its first-owner and is fueled by petrol. Considering its price and durability, it is a feasible alternative to the costlier machines on this list.
In Summary
This list has a number of interesting options, with each car having its exclusive attractions. All vehicles here are first owner cars, which means that all of them have a lengthy future, and will prove stable buys. The combination of sedans and hatchbacks also provides the list with diversity, and offers you the chance to explore both types before you finalize your call with the right balance between price and utility.
