No.5 : The Tata Indica Vista Diesel
The Fiat-sourced engine and gearbox combination is proven, the space is generous and yes, the new Indica Vista is a huge improvement over the old one. Read the review of the Tata Indica Vista here!
Tata Indica Vista - Hasta la Vista
No.4 :The Volkswagen Polo TDI
It's good looking, very well put together, has a frugal 3-pot Volkswagen TDI engine and best of all, it's German engineering at work.
VW Polo vs Hyundai i20 - Do or diesel
No.3 : Maruti Suzuki Swift Diesel
The popular choice from the segment is getting a little long in the tooth but is still a solid choice if you're looking for a good family hatchback. If you need something fresher, wait for the new Swift coming this year or the Ritz.

Number 2: Hyundai i20 Diesel
If there is one obvious choice to go for, it's this well-specced Hyundai i20 hatchback. It is more expensive than the competition but you do get a nice hatchback that is hard to go wrong with.
