Luxury plus performance
Agreed that Indian Luxury car market is growing, but it takes much more than a luxury car to deal with the Indian roads during monsoons. The struggle through muddy terrains, rocks, pelts and what not…it’s not what a luxury car is made to deal with. Only a company with great insight can understand the requirements of an Indian audience, which goes much beyond just good looks and city drives.
Suzuki is undoubtedly one of the most trusted companies in India…..and it is launching the Suzuki Grand Vitara sometimes next month. Call it an SUV or the super car, Grand Vitara has all the qualities – that is on-road manners and off-road ability to deal with tough situations. Ideal for roughing it out during the monsoons and great for city drives as well. It has won many international awards and now surely will create ripples in the Indian market as well…
