This year, we saw launches from various mass-market carmakers making headlines with their releases, such as Tata Motors with the introduction of their facelifted 2023 Harrier and Safari, and premium carmakers like Mercedes-Benz with the launch of the EQE SUV and 2023 GLC. However, these cars belong to the segment above Rs 10 lakh, and in this read, we will be listing out all the cars that were launched under Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) in 2023.
MG launched the Comet EV, with a starting price of Rs 7.98 lakh (ex-showroom). This ultra-compact electric vehicle features an off-beat design, setting it apart from others in its segment. The Comet EV is powered by a 42 PS electric motor, paired with a 17.3 kWh battery pack, and offers a claimed range of 230 km. Priced closely to the Tata Tiago EV, it currently has no direct rivals.

First launched in 2017, the Tata Nexon received a facelift this year, with prices starting from Rs 8.09 lakh (ex-showroom).

Maruti launched the Fronx, a crossover based on the Baleno, in 2023, with prices starting from Rs 7.46 lakh (ex-showroom).
