Top SUVs ruling the Indian roads

Shrabani Das 25 Nov 2009

Tata-safari-8

Tata Safari

This SUV was launched more than a decade back, but the Tatas has recently given this big baby a cosmetic change and a heart transplant. The new 2179cc DICOR engine produces 140PS at 4000rpm, which is 24PS more than its previous model and also packs-in more torque than before. With a starting range of Rs 7.7 lakh (ex showroom Delhi) this is not that bad choice either to bring home. What say boys??

    Out of all scorpio is the best for the price. The ride is smooth, spacious and less road noise. Interior does not look cheap. I own a Lexus RX350 and have driven most of the luxury SUVs. Scorpio really surprised me. | Reply

    The CRV and Captiva are more of Soft roaders than Off-road vehicles. They will crumble when put to test as a SUV. These should not be considered as SUV's | Reply

    It is surprising me that why did u missed RANGE ROVER SPORT, this is only macho SUV i have ever seen, come on now that becomes part of TATA group | Reply

    Chevrolet Captiva is a good SUV.Mitsubishi Montero, is also good | Reply
  • Shrikant Atre (20 December 2009 23:05)
    There also are a few good SUVs like BMW X series available in India and add to it VW tourig newly launched. But where are the Sales for such over priced SUVs ? The one that does well and is still missing in your list is Hyundai Tucson, it is value for money. And it is still not pulled off like the Subaru/GM Forrester which could not sell well. So was Hyundai's Terracan which could not sell and if we dug out dead ones, Tata Sierra was the one there, which had sold better unit nos than any of these models. If one has to enjoy all goodies and 4x4, even the small heart Maruti Gymni or newly coming Premier Rio are good choices as Mini-SUVs, mind you that this segment once did well and will do well again ! | Reply

 Bobby (01 February 2010 14:42) Reply to faraaz khan
Why only TATA and MAHINDRA is because that is swadeshi. And own swadeshi and this will boost the Indian economy. When all around the world are neglecting India. Why not own your Indian and keep money in India. Don't you see all the news coming around. | Reply
 Amit Jadhav (29 December 2009 17:38) Reply to faraaz khan
Tata Safari, with a Price Tag of 11 -12 Lakhs and newly improved mileage of 11 KmPl is the best option. You can get service all over the India due to good network of TATA | Reply
 puneet (22 December 2009 01:11) Reply to faraaz khan
beacuse faraaz no other company other than TATA and mahindra makes SUV which are as cheap as 8 Lac's. the most expensive being 11 Lac an the other SUV range doesn't even start dere. SO do u understand the phenomenon of pricing u typical IDIOT. | Reply

Yes indeed. These vehicles are affordable to the people who are interested in SUV's. Fortuner price is a killer if you compare to the prices in Gulf i.e. equals to 9Lakhs | Reply

anwar bhai, you said it. People like me can atleast dream about safari and scorpio. What about toyota landcruiser, fortuner, the price is a killer. Specialy when compared to gulf. Out of reach. Cant even dream. I dont even give a second look, get pangs of jealosy!!!! | Reply

I live in Fairfax county, one of the richest in the Nation. Most Working Americans here own ONE CAR and are still paying for it. Your source is a garden of misinformation! America is moving towards hybrids and economy cars, India, sad to say, picks up what the Western World discards. India has the advatage not to commit the same errors and learn from Americas mistakes. | Reply
