2015: A Cheerful Year For The SUV Buyers In India

BENGALURU: 2014 has been a dry year for the SUV’s in the 30-lakh rupee range. But looks like 2015 has a lot more to offer to the  with the Honda CRV coming in with a diesel engine and the Hyundai getting a compact SUV to the Indian market. So, here are some more SUVs compiled with some inputs from the Autocar.

# Hyundai iX25

Hyundai is looking at taking on the SUV craze in India with its compact SUV which will be launched the next year. Made known in concept form this year, it is the same as the Renault Duster in size and looks good. On the other hand, the car won’t be called the ix25 when it comes to India and will be launched under different name, coz it shouldn’t clash with the i20 hatch back which falls in the hatchback segment.

The front side of the car comes with sharp headlamps that match the chrome grille. Other interesting facts about the design include the upward rising window line and wraparound tail-lamps. The Hyundai iX25 is expected to use the same engines as the Verna which is a 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines with the same gearboxes as well along with a new five-speed automatic as an option.
