A good year at the sales charts has resulted in fewer discounts on hatchbacks this month. There are still a few cars on offer with good deals if you are in for a smart investment. Have a look

The year 2014-15 has been a lot better year for car manufacturers than the recent ones gone by. And that means discounting on cars has reduced considerably as the year comes to an end. But plenty of slow sellers in the market still exist and to get them off showrooms and into your parking lots, there are some tempting deals on offer. We’ve rounded up a top ten for you if you are looking for a hatchback this month. Check them out.

1. Chevrolet Beat

The smart Chevy is one of the cheapest diesel cars to buy and that gets plenty of entry level diesel hatchback buyers to dealerships. But the Beat has been along for many years and there are sketches of the next generation Beat floating around on the internet too. This car will replace the current one next year and till then Chevrolet has to fight it out with this car. That spells good news for you because the current car is a good one and incredibly affordably at these discounted prices.

Beat	Diesel LT (O)	Cash Discount Rs 20000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	67500

2. Chevrolet Spark

Another Chevrolet that’s even older than the Beat and far lesser in demand than it too is the Spark. For those who are looking for their first car who want a simple easy to drive hatchback at a low price, the Spark could have been considered as an alternative to the Hyundai Eon and the Maruti Alto if the deal was sweeter, but exchange bonus and loyalty bonus for a entry level car is not a good deal and that makes the discount amount to only Rs 25,000. Skip this one.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Spark	Base	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	62500
Spark	LS	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	62500
Spark	LT	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	62500
Spark	LS LPG	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	62500
Spark	LT LPG	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	62500

3. Chevrolet Sail U-Va

Not as old as the first two but certainly out of buyers’ radar is the Chevrolet Sail U-Va. In the crowded large hatchback segment, the Sail hatchback is just not appealing enough, partly because of the car and partly because of the brand. That said, the Sail hatchback offers excellent space, a dependable diesel engine and has recently received a set of updates that makes it a better deal than ever, especially if you are trading in your smaller Chevy for it.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Sail U-Va	LS (ABS)	Cash Discount Rs 5000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	47500
Sail U-Va	LT (ABS)	Cash Discount Rs 5000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	47500
Sail U-Va	TCDi LS	Cash Discount Rs 5000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	47500
Sail U-Va	TCDi LS (ABS)	Cash Discount Rs 5000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	47500
Sail U-Va	TCDi LT (ABS)	Cash Discount Rs 5000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500 + Loyalty Bonus Rs 20000	47500

4. Tata Bolt

Finally not a Chevrolet as the company runs out of hatchbacks to offer discounts on. In fourth position is the Bolt, the rather impressive new-age small car from a renewed Tata Motors. As good as the Bolt is, it isn’t doing so well for Tata Motors and that might be worrying the carmaker. But that spells good news for you if you are looking for a premium hatchback. Since a large chunk of the deal is a trade-in, this offer is not beneficial to a first time car buyer.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Bolt	XE Petrol	Exchange Bonus Rs 45000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	47000
Bolt	XM Petrol	Exchange Bonus Rs 45000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	47000

Bolt	XT Diesel	Exchange Bonus Rs 45000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	47000

5. Volkswagen Polo

Volkswagen updated the Polo last year and with it finally gave the excellent chassis, a diesel engine to complement it. Sales have improved ever since and so Volkswagen wants to keep the sales momentum running with the below mentioned offers. The Polo is the second best premium hatchback in the country after the Elite i20 and in a few aspects in the driving department, betters the i20. If you want a sorted hatchback that’s a lot more affordable than the Hyundai, the Polo is your best buy, but just the diesel, not the petrol.

Polo	1.2 Trendline	Cash Discount Rs 5000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 1000	26000

6. Ford Figo

The Figo is in the final leg of its journey now. It may possibly not get discontinued after the Ka hatchback and sedan are launched in India and may follow in the footsteps of the Fiesta, which is now called the Classic, but either way, the Figo is past its prime and that means better deals for you. The Figo is excellent value for money, is comfortable, spacious and handles like very well. If you are that discerning hatchback buyer, this is the car for you.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Figo	1.2 Duratec LXI	Cash Discount Rs 7000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2500	29500

7. Toyota Etios Liva

Toyota’s only hatchback in India is a hard sell for its dealers. The car hasn’t set the sales charts on fire but manages to hold its own in the highly competitive segment. It offers good space, is easy to drive and comes with the reliability of a Toyota, if in a bit diluted form. So if you want a car that’s easy on the wallet, feels like a big car on the inside and is as easy to drive as any Toyota should be, the Liva can be considered at these discounts.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Etios Liva	GD	Cash Discount Rs 25000 + Corporate Discount Rs 2000	27000

8. Toyota Etios Cross

The only cross hatchback in our top ten, the Etios Cross is the best of its performers in the sub- segment. But the Toyota offer stands same for all cars in its portfolio except the strong selling Fortuner and so you get Rs 27,000 off the crosshatch.

9. Maruti Alto 800

Two Marutis round up this top ten list, the first one being the Alto 800. Discounts however have dried up considerably from Maruti as the sales are better than ever. The Alto 800 gets Rs 22,500 off its sticker price. It’s not that big a deal but if you are in smaller regions of the country where the only option is a Maruti, isn’t that a welcome deal!

10. Maruti Alto K10

The Alto K10 is the Maruti to buy if you want one. It has been heavily updated and comes with the ever so agile 1.0-litre K series engine. The gearbox works well and the small dimensions make it easy to drive in congested roads. The updates bring with it a few features it didn’t have before and overall, it’s a pleasant car to own.
