Top 5 SUV in India

This post of mine is about the topmost SUV's (Sports Utility Vehicle) running on Indian Roads. I have chosen five SUV's that are most common in India and are in the range of 13 - 22 lacs. The SUV's are Toyota's Fortuner, Mitsubishi Pajero, Ford Endeavor,  Mahindra Scorpio and Tata Safari. I'll take up these SUV's one by one. These cars are are not new to the country and making there presence felt from so many years. There is no order of preference or ranking all five cars are equally good and each one of these have their own fan following. Lets start with Toyota's Fortuner.

Toyota Fortuner

Fortuner is a product of Japanese Automaker Toyota which is not new to the country. Fortuner was launched in India in 2009 and since then it has become one of the leading SUV in our country.  Toyota has given a correct name to its car as people who have fortunes, buy this fortuner. :) The car comes with a price tag of around 20 lacs which increases as you go up on additive features.

     This SUV is capable enough to take on everything with the help of 3.0 litre engine and a full time 4WD and 7 seats to take out your whole family. Also the car is equipped with all the luxuries you expect. For safety point of view the car has ABS with EBD, Frontal Airbags and many more. The car is available in both manual and automatic transmission variants to suit your driving needs. This car has become a rage in India as the car has great looks with masculine exteriors which is preferred by the politicians and powerful guys in here. :) Have a look at the exteriors and Interiors.

Mitsubishi Pajero 

Pajero is the offering of Mitsubishi which once leaded the Indian sedan market with its Lancer and Cedia models, but now Pajero is the only good product that Indians are interested in. The company recently launched a revamped version of the car to its fans with some tweaks in the engine, exteriors and here and there. The car has engine with the almost same displacement just as Fortuner but surely Fortuner wins the Competition. This car was my favorite SUV but I am not liking the looks of newer version they made.

        Although the Interiors here take a lead. The car is equipped with all the top-notch technologies and offers great safety and entertainment features. The company claims that the Engine is tweaked to increase the performance which is a plus point for this car but this car misses out on Automatic Variant which is not present but it's still has a fan following which other SUV's can't match up. Below are the pictures of Interiors and Exteriors.

This stylish car is a product of a American auto giant Ford. This SUV offers performance with style as its has amazing exteriors with super amazing interiors. You can take this car to a corporate meeting or to a mountain terrain, this car serves every purpose which its stylish looks. It comes with a power packed 2.5 litre engine for manual variant with an option of 3.0 litre Automatic version.  

              It has superb acceleration even in such a huge body and can touch up 100 kmph in just 13 secs. Equipped with EBD, ABS, 4WD and also has Frontal airbags for safety and a large screen DVD player with inbuilt SAT-NAV feature.. Take a look at this car below.

Mahindra Scorpio

Here comes the SUV from the Indian car maker Mahindra. This car is an old one but with constants upgrades which makes it the most popular SUV in the Indian market. The car has replaced other SUV's in terms of sales, styling and performance and the Mahindra brand has become the king of SUV's. The car has come a long way and the engine and performance shows that. It comes with 2.2 litre Engine with technologies which are less to none.

      The car comes under the price tag of 14 lacs for a high end version which is very less than the above mentioned cars but surely it can give serious competition to them. Famous with the tagline " Mighty Muscular Scorpio" this car wins many hearts.

Tata Safari

This one is another Indian product from a world known company Tata which has given world the cheapest 1 lac rupee car Tata Nano. Safari is an all time hit with the Indian SUV market as Tata has a great experience in Transport market. Tata Safari is known for its Powerful Body and Superb Performance, Although Scorpio gives a great competition to Safari but this car has the experience and robust quality of Tata.

       The company has launched a new version of Safari named Safari Storme which comes up with great styling  and added features. This car comes in the price range of under 14 lac and is worth having. The car is spacious and  has 2.2 litre VariCor Engine to give it a powerful drive.
