India is the one of the fastest growing economies in the world. No other country in Asia Pacific region is developing at such a pace like India. India spending power is going up in spending power, purchasing power indices charts. As all other domains automobile industry has also gained the momentum and catering the consumers with all new SUVs which is the Gen X choice in India now. People here are looking for vehicles which can be more than a car for them and not being mindful in making a choice for SUVs.
I would say SUV has all the features that we cannot use daily and we are going to pay that high price for those unused features . For Indian roads SUVs add some more junk and create more mess in traffic. I see there is hell lot of problems in using SUV in city roads of India. I bet we can never unleash the power of exotic SUVs in the traffic, we can never use our all the four wheels at once, parking the SUV is exhaustive in city, SUV need more space on the roads to move which makes driving to miserable. But SUV would be perfect choice If one residing in a remote area and have lot of necessity to go around place to carry freight.
SUV enthusiasts claim that SUVs are safer than other car. Yes they may be correct to this fact but nowadays we are getting same kind of safety features like air bags, ABS, road and rear sensors etc. in normal cars also. So my point is why we should pay more to an SUV.For the same kind of safety features in SUV it burns more fuel that’s all. SUVs will always have higher center of gravity than small cars, so there are always more chances of toppling until the wheel base is properly increased, and that makes the vehicle bigger and all the above facts gets more tough.
So, you might have guessed, I am not a big fan of SUV’s. I do not understand the point of them in Indian cities. They do not add anything, except a higher line of sight, than you can get from any sedan unless they are used for the intended purpose. I would love to take a nice SUV out for vacation on a rugged road on the side of deep valleys, but I can’t see anyone taking their loved ones and SUV anywhere near an unpaved roads. I just can’t understand why SUV’s have become so popular. Please don’t go crazy beyond SUVs just by looks or to for a status sake. Please be mindful in spending that much money on any SUV.
