What We Think
It is evident that the future of the automobile industry belongs to SUVs. In recent years, particularly in India, people are loving the practicality and road presence of SUVs. Hence, more and more people are ditching the hatchbacks and sedans. As a result, today we have SUVs starting at the price of a hatchback. This is a global trend which will continue in times to come. Who knows we might even see the creation of even more segments of the SUVs in the near future.
