That's a master stroke from Hyundai India. Nowadays successful business is not just about good sales experience, product, and service, but also about innovative finance options/schemes.

Good news! Is Hyundai providing financing options or via a bank?

Can anyone do the math, and calculate which, if any, of these emi will be beneficial vis-a-vis a normal tenure.

Good move by Hyundai ! Would be beneficial for people who were thinking to cancel their booking due to the COVID-19 crisis.

From 30,000 feet all of them are the same. Such schemes usually run on the theme of giving benefits(virtual) in first few years Initially, and collecting full amount plus interest including all those losses in the later years.

In my view, the best loan is simply that which offers the lowest EMI for longer duration without any penalty for prepayment or pre-closure. Of course, without OR lowest processing fee.

All other schemes are only to attract and confuse customers

Smart move, but none of these are proper discounts and won't get them far.

Hyundai, or any other manufacturer for that matter - is still months away from generating a proper cashflow from sales. People are not in a hurry to spend, and many who are planning to purchase vehicles - know they are a couple of months away from even greater deals.

Well said .

While it is really nice to see some innovation within boring old car finance, the fact is, a 10-lakh car is a 10-lakh car at the end of the day. If you cannot afford it without a "special scheme", you basically shouldn't be buying it. I had commented on similar lines when Mercedes had come out with their bullet payment schemes.

Actually, with any purchase (even an iPhone), if you have to take out a calculator to see if you can afford it, you probably can't.

I'd prefer to be happily cruising around in a 3-lakh rupee used hatchback (that I could easily afford) than a 10-lakh rupee Hyundai (which caused stress on my liquidity).

It's not a discount in any way but just flexible options. You never know what sells in india ! That's how diverse the market is.

Did some math on the Balloon scheme. You pay the same amount as usual bank emi at the end of it all. Only difference is you will have 10% less of your monthly emi which you'll have to cough up for last emi.

Wow! Super quote. Very sane words of advise. Especially in these troubled times. Like they say, many a men buy cars they don't need with money they don't have to impress people they don't like. But, actually, we also buy to impress people we like, like relatives, neighbours, peers, rivals, hell even strangers at traffic lights and mall parking lots. Silly us, indeed.

Pun aside, as is rightly pointed out above, most such schemes are just hogwash. I am a firm believer in saving up and buying than financing a depreciating item. Properties are the only thing I bought on loans. And, they have appreciated way past what I had paid for those. I also agree with you on used cars. The big advantage with them is that they have already taken a big depreciation hit and when it's time for you to offload, you lose bare minimal, provided of course, you bought smart and sold smart.

Did a quick search on this and found an article explaining the advantages and disadvantages of these schemes.

It is quite evident that the traditional EMI is the safest way to go but due to certain situations, you now have an option for other options as well.

To be honest, it is only an extra option that might just benefit you somehow.

The Hyundai scheme is slightly different in terms of math I think. The final EMI is 25% of loan amount i.e, 2.5 lakh instead of 4 lakh but your EMI only drops by 10-14% until final month.
