Sunroofs are increasingly being offered in affordable cars in India, including models priced under Rs 8 lakh, reflecting a shift in buyer demand and product strategy. Manufacturers have started introducing this feature in entry-level hatchbacks and compact SUVs, mainly in mid-trims, to attract young, urban buyers. The move aligns with a broader trend to prioritize features, design and cabin experience alongside cost and performance, reshaping a segment traditionally focused on core transportation. Increasing competition in the entry-level and compact SUV space has pushed automakers to add features as key differentiators. Buyers, in turn, are often willing to stretch their budgets for variants within the range that offer a more premium experience, making sunroofs a notable draw.
