In this article, we have created a list of top SUVs that offer both style statement and performance, but somehow not able to attract a mass audience in the Indian market.
As the auto industry is getting bigger with each passing day in India, the top manufacturers leaving no stone unturned to enhance their lineup by adding new models daily. Amid the time, when the industry is flooded with multiple options in SUV segment, there are few models in the market that deserve more love than they received
In this article, we have created a list of top SUVs that offer both style statement and performance, but are somehow not able to attract a mass audience in the Indian market.
Jeep Compass
Starting from the Jeep Compass! The performance-oriented SUVs come at the starting price of Rs 18.99 lakh, while the top model goes up to Rs 32.41 Lakh (all ex-showroom).
From impressive driving capabilities to good handling and braking, the SUV has everything one can ask for. Despite all the plus points, the SUV has not received good sales figures in the dominating segment. What to blame, high pricing?
Citroen C3 Turbo
The French carmaker Citroen has been trying its best to spread its network in the Indian market. The company has a decent lineup in the country, and C3 Turbo is considered one of the decent products in the range. It starts at Rs Rs. 8.62 lakh (ex-showroom).
The hatchback offers an eye-catching style statement, featuring an LED headlight setup, paired with DRLs with a signature. Despite all the qualities, the true recognition of the model is still missing. It surely deserves more attention in the segment.
Honda Elevate
Launched last year at the starting price of Rs 11.73 lakh (ex-showroom), the spacious SUV somehow also made to the list. Initially, the vehicle received a good response from the customers and attracted a good audience.
Later, people stopped talking about the model and the spot was taken away by new offerings from other brands.
Maruti Suzuki Jimny
Last, but not the list, the tech-loaded Jimny. The model was introduced majorly for the target audience who were looking for something fuel-efficient with good off-roading capabilities.
It was launched under the price bracket between Rs 12.74 lakh to Rs 14.95 lakh (all ex-showroom). The model failed to create a mark in its segment, and sales were largely impacted when the top competitor Mahindra introduced Thar RWD. It took all the attention in no time.
