The 'entry SUV' or crossover-styled vehicle is a segment that's unique to India and a select few markets. It's the extension of the Indian car buyer's fondness for novelty, which resulted in the creation of sub-segments over the past decade including the 'entry-level sedan' and the various derivatives of compact cars and hatchbacks.
The key trigger for vehicle manufactures for shrinking the size of cars has been the government’s incentive to make smaller cars. A sub-4 meter vehicle attracts half the excise duty of 12 per cent for bigger vehicles. And these sub-4 meter sedans are making their way across the globe, potentially positioning India as a major export hub for this new segment.
