The Sports Utility Vehicle or SUV segment has gained huge popularity in the last few years in India. According to automotive insights and analytics provider, JATO Dynamics India, between January and October 2021, the SUV segment alone accounted for 38 per cent of the total passenger vehicle sales in India. A little over five years ago, in 2015, the same segment accounted for a mere 14 per cent. That’s a growth of over 170 per cent. The demand is much greater for compact SUVs because 7 out of the top 10 SUVs sold in October 2021 were either compact or subcompact SUVs.
