Hey all, after watching and reading about different cars that come in the range of rupees 8 to 16 lakh, I have made this list of cars with high ground clearance in India. These cars offer good ground clearance to go anywhere in India.

I have listed only petrol cars in this list and also keep in mind that these SUVs are fuel efficient. I have not included Scorpio, Thar, or XUV700 in this list because the petrol version of this car gives less mileage as compared to other SUVs listed below.

1. Honda Elevate

Honda Elevate is a compact SUV that offers a massive ground clearance of 220 mm. The company claims mileage for the manual variant is 15.31 KM/L and for the automatic variant, it is 16.92 KM/L.

2. Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara / Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder

Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder offer 210 mm of ground clearance which is enough for bad roads. You can easily go to mountains, remote areas, and different villages of India with this ground clearance and do not need to worry more about vehicle scratching from the bottom.

3. Maruti Suzuki Jimny

Maruti Suzuki Jimny offers 210 mm of ground clearance and you can consider this vehicle for off-roading purposes. But if you have to drive more in cities and highways and less on mountains and bad roads then you should probably check Grand Vitara, Creta, or Elevate.

4. Tata Nexon

Tata Nexon is a sub-compact SUV that offers a ground clearance of 208 mm. This car is known for its safety. So, if you want a car that offers good ground clearance, 5-star safety, sub-compact body size, and mileage efficient car then you can check Tata Nexon.

5. Kia Sonet

Kia Sonet offers 205 mm of ground clearance. Kia Sonet offers a wide range of features and good ground clearance and it is a budget-friendly vehicle. You can check this car as well if you want a car with high ground clearance. It offers most of the necessary features in 2nd base variant.
