SUVs With a 360-Degree Camera Under Rs 15 Lakh, and What the Feature Really Costs

Four SUVs on sale in India in October 2026 fit a 360-degree camera to a variant that genuinely costs under Rs 15 lakh: the Tata Punch Adventure at Rs 7,76,990, the Tata Nexon Creative at Rs 10,16,990, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Alpha at Rs 10,60,900 and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi+ Turbo at Rs 11,25,900, all ex-showroom Delhi. The cheapest step up to the feature is the Punch's, at Rs 2,02,000 over the car's entry variant. The most expensive is the Brezza's, at Rs 3,76,000.

That second number is the one this list is organised around. A 360-degree camera is almost never standard, so the question that decides whether you can afford it is not what the model starts at but what the one variant carrying the camera costs, and how far up the range you have to walk to reach it.

The rule this list uses

A model qualifies only if the specific variant that carries the 360-degree camera is priced under Rs 15 lakh ex-showroom. A model whose brochure lists the camera but prices that variant above the ceiling does not qualify, no matter how cheap its base car is. Variant mapping comes from each manufacturer's own brochure feature grid. Prices are ex-showroom Delhi, read from the manufacturers' own price feeds on 15 October 2026.

What the camera actually costs you

SUV	Entry variant and price	Cheapest variant with the 360 camera	Price of that variant	Step up
Tata Punch	Smart petrol MT, Rs 5,74,990	Adventure petrol MT	Rs 7,76,990	Rs 2,02,000
Tata Nexon	Smart 1.2, Rs 7,39,990	Creative 1.2 MT	Rs 10,16,990	Rs 2,77,000
Maruti Fronx	Sigma 1.2 5MT, Rs 6,89,900	Alpha 1.0 Turbo 5MT	Rs 10,60,900	Rs 3,71,000
Maruti Brezza	LXi Turbo 1.0 6MT, Rs 7,49,900	ZXi+ Turbo 1.0 6MT	Rs 11,25,900	Rs 3,76,000

Ex-showroom Delhi, 15 October 2026. Maruti prices are single-tone from Maruti's own ex-showroom price feed; dual-tone paint adds Rs 14,000 to Rs 15,400. Tata prices are from Tata's Delhi price list.

The spread is wider than the camera itself justifies. Roughly Rs 1.7 lakh separates the cheapest walk-up from the dearest, and none of that difference is the camera hardware. It is what each manufacturer has chosen to bundle alongside it.

What the step buys on each car

Tata Punch Adventure, Rs 7,76,990

The Punch puts the camera lower in its range than anything else here. Tata's brochure gives the 360-degree surround view camera and a blind view monitor to the Adventure, which is the fifth of eight trims with three still above it, and the same step adds a fully automatic temperature control, push-button start, auto-folding mirrors, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and an air purifier.

The engine is a 1,199 cc three-cylinder petrol making 87.8 PS at 6,000 rpm and 115 Nm at 3,250 rpm. Tata does not publish a certified fuel-efficiency figure for the Punch anywhere in the 2026 brochure, so there is no manufacturer number to quote.

Bharat NCAP rates the Punch 5 stars, with 30.58 of 32 for adult occupant protection and 45.00 of 49 for child occupant protection. That is the best child score of the four.

Where it falls short: 87.8 PS is modest, and the 120 PS turbo petrol that fixes it is not offered on this variant.

Tata Nexon Creative, Rs 10,16,990

Tata's brochure trim walk is unusually literal about this. The Creative is described as additional over the Pure+, and the first item on its list is the 360-degree HD surround view system. The Pure+ below it gets an HD rear view camera, which is a different thing. The Creative also brings R16 alloys, push-button start, cruise control, automatic climate control and a cooled glovebox.

Under the bonnet is the 1.2-litre turbocharged Revotron petrol, 1,199 cc, making 88.2 kW at 5,500 rpm and 170 Nm from 1,750 to 4,000 rpm. Ground clearance is 208 mm. As with the Punch, Tata publishes no certified mileage.

Bharat NCAP gives the Nexon 5 stars, 29.41 of 32 adult and 43.83 of 49 child, which is the lowest adult score here.

Where it falls short: the crash score trails the others, and the DCA automatic is three trims further up.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx Alpha, Rs 10,60,900

The Fronx takes the opposite approach to the Punch. Its 360 view camera appears on exactly one trim, the Alpha, and nowhere else. Sigma, Delta, Delta+ and Zeta all skip it regardless of what else they carry. The head-up display and the auto-dimming mirror are Alpha-only too, so the step buys three things at once rather than one.

The Alpha runs the 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo petrol, 998 cc, 73.6 kW at 5,500 rpm, which Maruti prints as 100.06 PS, with 147.6 Nm available from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm. Certified efficiency is 21.5 km/l on this manual. Boot space is 308 litres, one of the few boot figures any of these brochures actually prints.

Where it falls short: the Fronx has no Bharat NCAP rating. It is not on Bharat NCAP's published list at all, so there is no Indian crash result to weigh against the Punch's 30.58 or the Brezza's 30.41.

Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi+ Turbo, Rs 11,25,900

This one is worth spelling out, because the Brezza is the car this question is most often answered wrongly about. Maruti's brochure feature grid shows the 360 view camera (HD) as a dash on LXi, VXi and ZXi, and a tick on ZXi+ alone. The ZXi Turbo below it does get blind spot warning, safe exit warning, rear cross traffic alert and front parking sensors, which is a genuinely useful package, but not the 360-degree camera.

The ZXi+ is sold in two forms, and both clear this list's ceiling: the 1.0-litre Turbo Boosterjet 6MT at Rs 11,25,900, and the 1.5-litre 6AT at Rs 13,54,900. The turbo makes 81 kW at 5,500 rpm, which Maruti prints as 110.12 PS, and 170 Nm from 2,000 to 3,500 rpm, at a certified 19.96 km/l. Alongside the camera the ZXi+ adds a 25.65 cm touchscreen with Arkamys Surround Sense, ventilated front seats, a head-up display and a 64-colour ambient lighting set.

Bharat NCAP rates the Brezza 5 stars, 30.41 of 32 adult and 43.00 of 49 child. The rating's applicability grid matters here: it covers the 1.5L 6MT, the 1.5L 6AT and the 1.0L Turbo 6MT families, which includes this exact variant. It does not cover the S-CNG.

Where it falls short: the largest walk-up on the list, and the camera arrives only at the top of the range.

Three SUVs that have the camera but no published variant price

These three fit a 360-degree camera to a variant their own brochures identify, but none of the three manufacturers publishes an ex-showroom price for that variant, so they cannot be placed on the table above.

The Hyundai Venue puts its surround view monitor on the HX 10, the top trim, which is sold as a 1.0 turbo DCT or a 1.5 diesel automatic and also carries SmartSense Level 2 ADAS. Hyundai publishes a Venue starting price of Rs 7,99,900 and no variant-level list, on either the national or the Delhi page. Bharat NCAP rates the Venue 5 stars at 31.15 of 32 adult and 44.46 of 49 child, well clear of anything in the priced table above, and the tested cars were the HX2 diesel manual and the HX10 diesel automatic.

The Mahindra XUV 3XO fits its 360-degree surround view system with blind view monitor on the AX5 L and the AX7 L. Read that carefully, because the AX7 sits between the two and does not get it. Mahindra's site serves no accessible variant price list.

The Nissan Magnite lists the 360-degree around view monitor under the Tekna trim in its brochure. Nissan's India price pages were not reachable when this was checked.

The cars that just miss, and one that is not an SUV

The two misses are close enough to be annoying. The Maruti Grand Vitara puts its 360 view camera on the Alpha, and the cheapest Alpha is the 1.5 5MT at Rs 15,34,700, which is Rs 34,700 over. The Maruti Victoris puts its 360-degree HD camera with 11 views on the ZXi+, and the cheapest of those is the ZXi+ 1.5 5MT at Rs 15,38,900, Rs 38,900 over. Both cars start well below Rs 15 lakh, at Rs 10,76,500 and Rs 10,49,900, which is exactly why reading a spec sheet at model level gets this wrong.

The Hyundai Creta misses by more. Its surround view monitor starts at the SX Premium, not the EX(O) that often gets quoted, and the cheapest SX Premium is the 1.5 MPi petrol manual at Rs 16,34,200.

The Maruti XL6 Alpha, at Rs 12,58,800, does carry a 360 view camera under the ceiling, but it is a six-seat MPV rather than an SUV. It belongs with the MPVs that offer a 360-degree camera, where it is the cheapest option on the list.

How this list was built, and what could not be verified

Every variant mapping above was read off the manufacturer's own brochure feature grid rather than a marketing page, because those two disagree often enough to matter. The Brezza and Fronx grids were read from the printed grid images in Maruti's brochures. Prices for the Maruti cars come from Maruti's own ex-showroom price feed, taking the metallic and non-metallic figures rather than dual tone, since dual-tone paint reads between Rs 14,000 and Rs 15,400 higher and quietly inflates any price scraped off the rendered page. Tata's figures come from Tata's Delhi price list.

Three things could not be verified. Tata publishes no certified fuel-efficiency figure for either the Punch or the Nexon, so neither has a mileage number here. Mahindra and Nissan publish no variant-level ex-showroom prices at all, and while Hyundai does publish a full variant table for the Creta, it gives the Venue only a starting price. And neither the Fronx nor the Grand Vitara appears in Bharat NCAP's published results, so nothing can be said about how they crash.

One more caveat on the Brezza. Its 5-star rating was assessed in June 2026 and applies to the variants named in Bharat NCAP's applicability list. The S-CNG variants are not on it.

Below this band, the sub-Rs 12 lakh list covers the cheapest options in more detail. For the unconstrained version of this question, including the cars that sit above Rs 15 lakh, see SUVs with a 360-degree camera in India.

Frequently asked questions

Which SUV has the cheapest 360-degree camera variant under Rs 15 lakh?

The Tata Punch Adventure petrol manual at Rs 7,76,990 ex-showroom, Delhi, October 2026. It is also the smallest step up from a model's entry price, at Rs 2,02,000 over the Punch Smart.

Does the Maruti Brezza ZXi have a 360-degree camera?

No. Maruti's brochure grid puts the 360 view camera (HD) on the ZXi+ only. The ZXi Turbo gets blind spot warning, safe exit warning, rear cross traffic alert and front parking sensors, but not the surround camera. The cheapest Brezza with it is the ZXi+ Turbo 1.0 6MT at Rs 11,25,900.

Why is the Maruti Victoris not on this list?

Because its 360-degree HD camera with 11 views is fitted only to the ZXi+ variants, and the cheapest of those is the ZXi+ 1.5 5MT at Rs 15,38,900. That is Rs 38,900 above this list's ceiling, even though the Victoris range starts at Rs 10,49,900.

Is a 360-degree camera the same as a reverse parking camera?

No, and several of these cars sell both. A reverse camera shows one view behind the car. A 360-degree system stitches four or more feeds into an overhead view covering all sides. The Tata Nexon Pure+ is the clearest example of the gap: it has an HD rear view camera, and the 360-degree system arrives one trim later on the Creative.

Which of these has the best crash-test result?

Among the four priced entries, the Tata Punch, with 30.58 of 32 for adult protection and 45.00 of 49 for children under Bharat NCAP. The Maruti Brezza is close on adults at 30.41 and behind on children at 43.00. The Tata Nexon scores 29.41 and 43.83. The Maruti Fronx has no Bharat NCAP result.

Do any of these pair the camera with Level 2 ADAS at the same price?

Not among the four priced cars. The Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5 L and the Hyundai Venue HX 10 both bundle a Level 2 suite with the camera on the same variant, but neither manufacturer publishes that variant's ex-showroom price, so neither can be confirmed as under Rs 15 lakh.
