Toyota Etios – Rs 6.94 – 8.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)
For the millennials who want to feel the pleasure of being chauffeured, the Toyota Etios is the best bet. With every Etios you get oodles of space both at the front and the rear. The instrument cluster is in the centre of the dash, so that you can have a look at what speed the car is being driven and thus, you can instruct the driver to pace up or slow down. It gets sober-looking interiors with decent build quality and best-in-class boot space of 592 litres! Every Etios comes with a standard safety kit - ISOFIX, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and 3-point seatbelts for all occupants.
Nissan Sunny – Rs 7.91 – Rs 10.89 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)
It’s true that the Nissan Sunny hasn’t been able to really stir the market up with its presence. Despite that, it makes for the best sedan at this price point, which offers segment-best rear legroom and knee room. The seats are comfortable with easy ingress and egress to the cabin. It gets multiple airbags – dual front and side airbags. It’s a safe bet if you are looking for something to commute from point A to B. The vehicle recently got a facelift in January.
Toyota Corolla Altis – Rs 13.79 – Rs 18.67 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)

Toyota Camry – Rs 30.28 – Rs 31.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)
The Toyota Camry has been one of the most reliable cars for people who prefer being chauffeured around. The Camry nameplate carries sophistication, elegance, premium-ness and a composure inside-out which no other car can match in its segment.
