5 most powerful petrol cars under Rs 15 lakhs
Cars are improving a lot in the last few years. We are seeing this in the quality of materials being used as well as the features being offered. But the major improvement is in the specification department. Manufacturers like Mahindra are pushing the limits by bringing very powerful engine options to budget cars. Petrol is the preferred option in this price range due to the various emission norms at play, so we will be covering only petrol cars in today’s list. So let’s begin our list of the most powerful cars under Rs 15 lakh.
Nissan Magnite
Not many people will think about the Magnite in the most powerful cars list, but the Magnite is a pocket rocket due to its compact dimensions and a powerful 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine on offer. The way this SUV accelerates would definitely put a smile on your face. This engine is capable of producing 99bhp & 160Nm of torque. Transmission options include a five-speed manual and a CVT gearbox. The turbo variants of the Magnite start from Rs 9.73 lakh and go to Rs 12.78 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
Hyundai i20 N Line
The second car on the list is the i20 N Line. Hyundai’s N Line cars majorly get cosmetic changes, but also some mechanical changes to go with it. The i20 gets the same 1.0-litre turbo petrol as the normal i20 capable of producing 118bhp & 171Nm of torque. However, Hyundai has retuned the steering feedback and suspension, improving its handling. What about pricing? The pricing of the i20 N Line starts from Rs 11.54 lakh and goes to Rs 14.18 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
Powerful petrol cars – Skoda Slavia
Skoda is one manufacturer that is known for its enthusiasts-focused cars. The Slavia continues the notion for the brand. The Slavia comes with two engines – a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol. Naturally, the 1.5-litre is faster but is expensive and starts from Rs 19.78 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). Instead, you can consider the 1.0-litre engine, which is also quite good. This engine is capable of producing 115bhp & 178Nm of torque. Transmission options include a manual and a torque converter gearbox. The pricing of the Skoda 1.0-litre turbo starts from Rs 12.93 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). The Slavia being a sedan clearly stems its position in the list due to its great handling dynamics.
Mahindra XUV300
The XUV300 is definitely an under-rated car when it comes to performance. Mahindra has tuned the engine quite well to deliver a punchy performance. It comes with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine capable of producing 108bhp & 200Nm of torque. Also, the XUV300 has the lowest ground clearance in its segment. Isn’t that bad? Yes, to a certain extent, but it gives it better road dynamics at higher speeds. The pricing of the XUV300 petrol starts from Rs 9.91 lakh and goes to Rs 15.69 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). The XUV300 gives a sense of confidence even at high speeds, thanks to its easily flickable character.
Powerful cars – Mahindra Scorpio-N
The second Mahindra car on the list is the newly launched Scorpio-N. Mahindra has been pushing the limits with its petrol engines. The Scorpio-N comes with a 2.0-litre petrol engine capable of producing 200bhp & 370Nm of torque. As a product, the Scorpio-N is the cheapest 200bhp car with a rear-wheel drive setup. The pricing of the Scorpio-N petrol starts from Rs 14.46 lakh and goes to Rs 25.44 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
