Top 8 Cars Under Rs 25 Lakh That Come With A Feature Loaded Base Variant

From multiple screens inside to all-LED lighting setup, these cars have redefined what a base-spec variant used to be a few years back

It has been some time now that a lot of mass-market cars in the market have been featuring a lot of amenities that were once a part of luxury offerings. However, the base-spec variants of most cars were barebones with a lot of missing features, making buyers sceptical to own them. However, a lot of newer cars now come with a lot of amenities in their entry-level variants, while also maintaining the affordability quotient as before. Here are the cars that come with a feature-loaded base variant:

Honda Amaze

 The Honda Amaze has a considerably pricier entry point than its rivals, a lot of which is because the Japanese carmaker has equipped it with a lot more features. The entry-level variant comes with steel wheels and features all-LED lighting and ORVM-mounted turn indicators. Inside, it features a 7-inch semi-digital driver’s display, an 8-inch touchscreen, manual AC and all-four power windows. It also gets paddle shifters with the CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission) option.
