The Swift Zxi to start with. Not sure about the i10.

Guess all the 10L plus cars have the same.

Cedia has it. I think most C segment Sedans would have it along with premium hatches as well.

Both versions of the Baleno had tilt steering.

Aveo/U-va has it in two of its variants.
I10 also has it
Indica vista has it

Accent has it.
although I havent used it ever since one perfect position is comfortable for me always.
its a useful feature if a car is to be driven more than one person.

I remember this feature came first on a Tata Sierra.
