Why Are SUV Cars Appealing To Indians? Know What The Report Says On This

The demand for SUV vehicles is increasing in the Indian market at this time, which is why many automakers are paying more attention to the vehicles of this segment. The latest examples of this can be taken from the recently introduced Hyundai Tucson, Toyota Highrider, and Grand Vitara. The Government of India has also brought schemes like the FAME-2 scheme, a vehicle scrappage policy for the auto industry, which is directly benefiting the auto industry.
