In the last few years, we have been spotting tons of imported vehicles in India and it has, sort of, become a common practice
A popular Indian vlogger showcases a Cadillac Escalade which has been imported from Dubai to India. Cadillac is the luxury division of the GMC. In fact, its vehicles are majorly sold in the U.S., Canada, China and the Middle East. You would not see any Cadillac car in our country unless someone specifically imports it. Hence, it is a rare sight for us to see one in India. That is what makes this occasion so very special. Let us delve deep into the details of this instance.
Cadillac Escalade Imported From Dubai
This video stems from MIHIR GALAT on YouTube. The YouTuber has the white Cadillac Escalade with him along with the owner. The owner lives in Dubai where he has many luxury cars. However, since he hails from Uttar Pradesh, he has imported it here from Dubai. That has created quite a sensation among the onlookers and YouTubers. That is why Mihir Galat travelled from Delhi to Lucknow to shoot content around this car and get to know about the details from the owner himself. On the outside, the road presence of this colossal SUV is unique. The front section is imposing, the size profile is ginormous and the demeanour makes heads turn.
Apart from that, the interior and the cabin amenities of this luxury SUV are opulent. For instance, the owner shows the gesture control function which operates storage space on the centre console. Apart from that, there is a generous use of soft-touch materials and top-notch elements on the inside. Interestingly, there is even a refrigerator between the front two seats. The seats are extremely comfortable and the performance is brisk. In fact, the vlogger took a brief test drive to experience the explosive engine of this SUV. All in all, this is one car which has a distinct road presence.
My View
I have been reporting about people importing cars to India using the Carnet ATA permit for a few years now. This is the best way to bring a car to India from a foreign land without attractive insane duties. This document is valid for a certain duration (mostly up to 1 year) after which the vehicle needs to be taken back to its home market. This is the technique many YouTubers have followed in recent times. They import world-famous cars to India, make content around them, and then return them back to their original home. In this manner, we are able to witness this in the flesh. I shall keep bringing more such cases in the future.
