Compact Suv Segment

The new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara will enter the hotly contested compact SUV segment in India this festive season and will take on the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor as well as its sibling, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.

Toyota has unveiled a brand new compact SUV called Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and it will be launched in a densely populated segment to go up against the likes of Creta, Seltos, Taigun, Kushaq and many others. We take a look at how its specs compare with that of its rivals.

As a ladder frame SUV, the new Scorpio-N has few direct rivals in the price bracket, though we put it up against models from the compact and mid-size SUV segment to see how it stands in terms of price.

Though Volkswagen realises that the growth potential for sedans in India is not at par with the SUVs, it is looking forward to cash in the demand with a new-age model like the Virtus which is technologically advanced and is high on creature comforts.

The Volkswagen Taigun made a big charge into the compact SUV segment with two turbocharged petrol engines. We've driven the 1.5-litre version and it's now time to try out the smaller 1-litre engine

In the last two years, we have seen new and updated models from several carmakers like Renault, Nissan, Maruti Suzuki and of course Hyundai and Kia.

The Harrier has been a strong competitor in the compact SUV segment and looks muscular, sleek and handsome. It has immense road presence as well, but is it worth buying? We list out the pros and cons

The recently introduced VW Taigun compact SUV has been well received. After scoring 12,000 pre-launch bookings, the petrol-only model has now taken consolidated booking orders higher, after its price announcement just under 3 weeks ago.

The growth was led by the Volvo Car India's luxury SUV segment and the XC60 stood out to be the bestselling model followed by the compact SUV XC40.

The MG Astor is the petrol counterpart of the now popular ZS EV from the Chinese-British enterprise. It comes with a host of segment first features specially when it comes to safety and infotainment. We drive it at the Buddh International Circuit.

Given that the competition in this segment is fairly close, it will be very important for Volkswagen to get the pricing right and it could even help it undercut the Skoda Kushaq!

The latest entrant to the hot compact SUV segment is the Volkswagen Taigun. While its prices are not known as yet, it offers a lot as a product. Is it enough to take on the bestselling Hyundai Creta?

The Skoda Kushaq marks the beginning of a new journey for the German carmaker in our market and will rival the likes of some of the well-established models in its segment like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and Renault Duster among others.

Maruti Suzuki has started to evaluate new market segments like the mid-SUV segment where it has sighted strong volumes but is not present with a robust product offensive.

The compact SUV segment has been on a roll last year with very popular models like the new-generation Hyundai Creta and Mahindra Thar going on sale.
