Cars under Rs 25 lakh with the best NVH levels

Enthusiasts have shared their views and some of the vehicles that they have named include the Hyundai Creta, Honda Elevate and VW Virtus.

BHPian hardikj recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

We all love a silent cabin. Don't we? Being Indians we have all kinds of sounds on the roads and most of them filter into the cabins of the majority of cars. Depending on the road conditions, vibrations are also felt in the cabin. I am particularly affected by creaks, squeaks, and thuds in my car and almost actively look for them if I hear a new one.

Our family has owned Mahindras for almost 30 years and now we have the 2019 XUV500 and a 2023 Maruti Suzuki Swift. I do not expect anything from the Swift because it just wins me in the driving feel, handling and engine smoothness However, the XUV did not impress me much.

Just out of curiosity I thought we could create a list of top 5 cars with the best NVH insulation in the most popular budget of below 25 Lakh rupees based on the experiences of TBhp members.

This could be useful for prospective buyers.

Hyundai Creta = Hyundai Grand i10 = Kia Seltos > Honda Elevate, Jazz.

Here's what BHPian 07CR replied:

I would rate the Carens/Verna/Sonet etc. higher than Elevate.

Even MG's Hector/Astor, most EVs have excellent NVH.

I have got both 2016 Jazz and 2023 Verna 1.5 Turbo . On NVH Verna > Jazz. In sports mode there is a sweet engine note for Verna which can be heard inside the cabin

Here's what BHPian Rohit_Quad replied:

The VW Virtus would be my pick. Absolute insulation from road and traffic noises.
