As with the Amaze, the Jazz too is offered with exchange benefits of up to Rs 15,000, along with loyalty benefits of up to Rs 14,000. Corporate benefits of up to Rs 4,000 are also offered.

Buyers can choose between the 90hp 1.2-litre petrol or the tractable 100hp 1.5-litre diesel engine, though neither can be had with an automatic gearbox.
The WR-V is available with benefits of up to Rs 50,530, including cash discounts or complementary accessories, exchange and loyalty benefits, and corporate discounts.
Honda City
Benefits up to Rs 32,000

Both generations of Honda’s midsize sedan pack in a comfortable and spacious cabin, and strong petrol engine, with the fifth-gen sedan also packing in quite a bit of kit for the premium price.
