Hyundai also allows you to buy a a new version of any of its models, if you so wish, at a discounted price.
Though there is no discount on the newly launched Maruti Zen Estilo but if you are planning to buy some other Maruti model, then you will get a healthy discount. The Maruti Esteem can be yours for Rs 20,000 less than the usual price and the Maruti Alto has been brough down by Rs 18,000.
