SUV of the year

The UV segment in India, which includes MUVs and SUVs is the largest growing segment in the country. With more and more people opting for an SUV over the likes of the family sedan or hatchback, the segment will only increase over time. This year, the field was spread across different price points and different segments. Contenders included the new BMW X5 and the Hyundai SantaFe in the luxury SUV segment along with the likes of the Mahindra Scorpio and the Honda Mobilio.

Choosing between the likes of the Mahindra Scorpio and the Honda Mobilio will certainly prove to be difficult considering both represent a different audience even though they are at the same price point. The Scorpio with its upgraded interiors and mechanicals is certainly a strong contender for the title of the UV of the year and goes up against the likes of the Tata Safari Storme, the Renault Duster and the Nissan Terrano. That said, the more family oriented Mobilio too makes a strong case for itself going up against other rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
