SUVs To Hit Indian Roads

Check out SUVs to hit Indian roads

Indian car market is all set to witness a rush of sports utility vehicles (SUV) at a time when Americans, traditionally the largest buyers of these fuel-guzzlers, are shunning them for smaller fuel-efficient cars.

Some of the world’s top carmakers such as BMW, Audi, Land Rover, Toyota and Volkswagen are launching over half-a-dozen SUVs in the next six months in the world’s fastest growing auto market after China. SUVs, all-terrain vehicles that can cruise with the same comfort in cities and countryside, are drawing big crowds at the Auto Expo in New Delhi.
