3. Renault Kwid - 184mm

The Kwid is another Renault car on this list with a respectable 184mm ground clearance. Besides a high clearance, the Kwid also has good styling and road presence, especially for the price. All of the Kwid’s variants cost less than Rs. 6.0 lakh (ex-showroom).

4. Renault Triber - 182mm

The Triber is the 3rd Renault car on this list and the only one with seating for 7. It has a 182mm ground clearance but when ferrying 7 adults, you should drive it carefully as the suspensions compress under load. The only notable problem with the Triber is its 1.0L normal petrol engine, which doesn’t have the performance to continuously haul 7 adults at expressway speeds without stressing the engine. We wish it had the option of 1.0L turbo petrol engine and CVT automatic transmission.

Only the Triber’s base variant costs under Rs. 6.0 lakh to help it reserve a spot on this list.

5. Maruti Nexa Ignis - 180mm

The Ignis is an unsung hero among affordable cars with high, 180mm ground clearance. Its tall-boy design makes ingress-egress easy even for tall occupants with a turban. Despite car prices running high these days, the Ignis seems to carry a reasonable price tag and offers good value for budget car buyers. 2 of its most affordable variants with the 1.2L normal petrol-manual powertrain cost less than Rs. 6.0 lakh.

6. Maruti Suzuki S-Presso - 180mm

The S-Presso is the most affordable car on this list of cars with high ground clearance. It has a fantastic mileage of around 25kmpl and all of its petrol-manual and petrol-automatic (AMT) variants meet the budget criteria of Rs. 6.0 lakh (ex-showroom). The S-Presso’s LXI CNG-manual makes it the only car with the CNG bi-fuel option on this list.
