Hatchbacks, Sedans and MPVs With an Auto-Dimming Mirror (2026)

Outside the SUV aisle, the auto-dimming inside mirror is close to extinct. Six hatchbacks, sedans and MPVs on sale in India offer one: the Maruti Baleno, the Honda City, the Toyota Camry, the Toyota Innova Hycross, the Maruti Invicto and the Kia Carens Clavis. On every one of them except the single-variant Camry, it is a top-trim feature. The Baleno Alpha is the only hatchback in India we can find with it, and the whole Baleno range tops out at Rs 9,99,000, which makes it the cheapest route to the feature in any body style.

The more useful finding is the list of cars that do not have it anywhere. The Maruti Swift, Dzire, Ertiga, XL6 and Celerio, the Hyundai i20 and the Honda Amaze all fit a manual flip mirror to every variant they sell. Three of those are among the best-selling cars in the country.

This list covers hatchbacks, sedans and MPVs. SUVs follow a different and much more generous pattern, and we have ranked them in a separate list.

The six, and how much of each range gets it

Car	Body style	Trims with the auto-dimming mirror	Out of	What the trims below get
Maruti Baleno	Hatchback	Alpha, Alpha (O)	5	nothing, no day and night mirror row at all
Honda City	Sedan	ZX, ZX+	4	day and night mirror
Toyota Camry	Sedan	the only variant	1	not applicable
Toyota Innova Hycross	MPV	VX, VX (O), ZX, ZX (O)	7	manual day and night mirror
Maruti Invicto	MPV	Alpha+	2	manual day and night mirror
Kia Carens Clavis	MPV	HTX and above	8	no anti-glare mirror listed

Fitment is read from each maker's own variant-wise feature grid. The Camry is sold in a single trim in India, so the mirror is standard on it by default.

The one hatchback

Maruti's Baleno grid has a row headed Auto Dimming IRVM and prints a dash under Sigma, Delta and Zeta, with the feature appearing on the Alpha and Alpha (O). It is the only entry in the hatchback and premium-hatchback segment we could prove, and the significant part is what sits alongside it. The Alpha pairs the mirror with a 360-degree camera and the head-up display, so a Baleno buyer who wants the mirror is buying the top of the range and getting everything else with it.

The Alpha (O) above it adds adaptive cruise control and the rest of Maruti's Level 2 assistance suite, so the two mirror-equipped trims are also the only two Balenos with anything beyond plain cruise. Six airbags, by contrast, are standard on every variant from the Sigma up.

Maruti's price page shows the Baleno range as Rs 5,99,000 to Rs 9,99,000 and does not render prices for individual variants, so we cannot print an exact Alpha figure. What we can say is that the whole range stops at Rs 9,99,000, which puts the feature within reach for less money here than in any other body style.

The Hyundai i20 is the clearest counter-example. Hyundai's grid ticks "Day & night mirror inside rear view mirror" as standard on all nine i20 variants and lists no electrochromic option anywhere, so the top i20 gets the same flip tab as the base one. The Maruti Swift behaves the same way, with every variant marked Manual, and the Maruti Celerio does not even give its LXi a day and night mirror.

The two sedans

The Honda City switches over at the ZX. Honda's grid reads "Inside Rear View Mirror (Day/Night)" and marks the SV and V as plain, then prints "O (Auto-Dimming)" against the ZX and ZX+. The same ZX step is where Honda stops being stingy generally, although Honda Sensing, the brand's driver-assistance suite, starts a trim earlier on the V.

Honda quotes City prices by city through an enquiry form and publishes no variant price list, so there is no figure here for the ZX.

The Toyota Camry is the only car in this article where the feature is simply standard. Toyota lists an electrochromic inside rear-view mirror among the Camry's interior features, and India gets one Camry variant, so every car has it. Toyota's price list requires a dealer to be chosen before a figure appears.

Two sedans that might be expected here are not. The Honda Amaze grid lists a Day/Night Inside Rear View Mirror across its variants and no auto-dimming option. The Maruti Dzire row reads "Day/Night Adjustable Inside Rear View Mirror" with a dash under the LXi and ticks from the VXi up, and that is the manual type, not an electrochromic one. A Dzire ZXi+ at Rs 8,96,300 still has a flip tab.

The three MPVs

This is where the feature is most common and most expensive.

Toyota Innova Hycross, from the VX

The best spread of any car here. Toyota's grid reads Manual for the G-SLF, GX and GX (O) and Auto for the VX, VX (O), ZX and ZX (O), so four of seven variants have it. That is more than half the range, and the VX is not the top trim by a long way.

Maruti Invicto, Alpha+ at Rs 28,70,500

The Invicto has two variants and the mirror splits them. Maruti's grid prints "(Manual)" under the Zeta+ and "(Automatic)" under the Alpha+, so the Rs 25,02,400 Zeta+ seven-seater goes without and the Rs 28,70,500 Alpha+ gets it, along with the panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, the 360-degree camera and the memory function on the driver's seat. Both variants have six airbags, a reverse camera and the e-CVT hybrid drivetrain, which Maruti rates at 139 kW, or 188.9 PS, and 22.16 km/l.

The Invicto is closely related to the Hycross, and the Hycross is the better buy on this particular feature, because Toyota puts the mirror on four variants and Maruti puts it on one.

Kia Carens Clavis, from the HTX

Kia adds "Auto Anti-glare (ECM) Rear View Mirror with Kia Connect Controls" on the HTX, in the same step that brings the 12.25-inch navigation touchscreen, the 360-degree camera with blind view monitor and 64-colour ambient lighting. The Kia Connect Controls part is unusual: the mirror carries buttons for connected-car functions, so it is doing more than cutting glare.

Kia's showroom page gives the Clavis range as Rs 11,38,900 to Rs 21,78,900 and does not publish a variant-wise price table we can read, so the HTX has no figure here.

The Maruti Ertiga and Maruti XL6 both miss out entirely. The Ertiga equipment list ticks a Day & Night Adjustable IRVM (Manual) across LXi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi+, and the XL6 row carries the same "(Manual)" label across Zeta, Alpha and Alpha+. The XL6 Alpha+ AT at Rs 14,52,100 is a well-equipped car with a flip tab on the mirror.

How this list was built, and what is missing from it

We opened each manufacturer's variant-wise feature grid, found the inside-mirror row and read it column by column. A car is in the table only where the grid says Auto, Auto-Dimming, Automatic or Electro Chromic. Where the grid says only Day/Night, or Day & Night Adjustable with a (Manual) label, the car is treated as not offering the feature, because that is the flip-tab type.

Three gaps are worth stating plainly.

Honda, Toyota and Kia do not publish variant-wise ex-showroom prices in a form we can read. Honda quotes by city through a form, Toyota's price list needs a dealer selected first, and Kia's showroom page gives a range rather than a table. So the City ZX, the Camry, the Hycross VX and the Clavis HTX appear here without prices.

Maruti's Baleno price page lists the range but does not render a price per variant, which is why the Alpha has no figure either. For the XL6, NEXA's price card leads with the dual-tone colour, which is Rs 15,400 above the single-tone car, so the Rs 14,52,100 quoted above for the Alpha+ AT is Rs 15,400 below what the page shows.

The Toyota Glanza is left out. The brochure on Toyota's site dates from May 2025 and the facelifted Glanza launched on 14 October 2026, so we had no current grid to read. Volkswagen, Skoda and Hyundai's Verna were also left out for want of a maker grid we could open on 15 October 2026.

We have not tested how quickly or how far any of these mirrors dim. The grid tells you the part is fitted and nothing more.

Is this the feature to chase?

In this part of the market, no, because chasing it means buying the top variant of almost anything. The Baleno Alpha, City ZX, Invicto Alpha+ and Clavis HTX are all the expensive end of their ranges, and the mirror is the smallest thing you get for the money.

The Hycross is the exception that makes the point. Toyota puts the mirror on the VX, keeps four of seven variants supplied, and does not make you buy the ZX to get it.

If you are shopping in the MPV segment and weighing which trim to take, our lists of MPVs with a 360-degree camera and premium MPVs with multi-zone climate control cover the features that arrive on the same trims.

Frequently asked questions

Which hatchback in India has an auto-dimming IRVM?

The Maruti Baleno, on the Alpha and Alpha (O). Maruti's grid prints a dash under Sigma, Delta and Zeta. No other hatchback we checked offers one, including the Hyundai i20 and the Maruti Swift.

Does the Maruti Dzire have an auto-dimming mirror?

No. The row reads "Day/Night Adjustable Inside Rear View Mirror" and is the manual flip type, fitted from the VXi up. The LXi has no day and night mirror at all.

Which Honda City variants have it?

The ZX and ZX+. Honda's grid shows a plain day and night mirror on the SV and V, and "O (Auto-Dimming)" on the ZX and ZX+.

Does the Maruti Invicto Zeta+ have an auto-dimming mirror?

No. Maruti's grid prints "(Manual)" under the Zeta+ and "(Automatic)" under the Alpha+, so only the Rs 28,70,500 Alpha+ has it.

Which MPV gives you the mirror on the most variants?

The Toyota Innova Hycross, on four of its seven variants, from the VX upward. The Maruti Invicto puts it on one of two and the Kia Carens Clavis on the HTX and above.

Do the Maruti Ertiga and XL6 have an auto-dimming IRVM?

No. Both brochures label the mirror "(Manual)" on every variant, including the XL6 Alpha+ AT at Rs 14,52,100.

Is an electrochromic mirror the same thing?

Yes. Makers use different names for one technology. Hyundai calls it an electro chromic mirror, Kia an auto anti-glare mirror with Kia Connect Controls, Toyota an electrochromic inside rear-view mirror and Maruti a Day & Night Adjustable IRVM with an Auto label.
