With the launch of Apple's new foldable smartphone iPhone Duo, its price has come into discussion. The price of the 2TB storage variant of the phone is said to be Rs 4.49 lakh. Many entry-level cars can be bought in India at this price.
In such a situation, the question is arising that if a person wants to buy a car instead of spending Rs 4.49 lakh on a smartphone, then what are the options available to him.
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso

Tata Tiago
