Gone are the days for SUVs when they were highly appreciated and liked by Indian consumers. But rising inflation and high fuel prices have now put an end to the production of SUVs. Car manufacturers across the country especially the ones like Mahindra & Mahindra who are mainly into the production of SUVs are facing a tough time.
These huge cars are numbered as high fuel guzzlers and have a bad eco-image. This has reduced the sale of Mahindra Scorpio, Toyota Innova, Maruti Gypsy and other cars in segment.
With a keen desire to fight the battle and raise the market for SUVs, car manufacturers are now hunting for better and reliable alternatives that can drive the sale of these cars. The Mercedes, BMW, Audi and the Porsche are also planning to enter the SUV segment and produce compact cars in the segment with the combination of off-road qualities and luxury comforts.
Will the past days come back for SUVs?

I don’t think that SUV glorious days are over. Even today many people prefer buying SUVs especially the ones who have big families and often go out for small family vacations.
I know the rising inflation has actually cut down the demand for SUVs but still there are cars like Tata Safari, Mahindra Scorpio, Ford Endeavour, Chevrolet Captiva and Nissan X Trail that are giving a decent fuel economy in their segment. I think that these will definitely bring back the lost value of SUVs.
Hey i completely agree with this. SUV's are losing its importance in India. and the main reason could be the ever rising fuel prices where these cars consume more fuel. But again there are a few who still go for SUV's. Majority of them do not prefer for it. Even i was planning for an SUV but later shifted to Indigo.
Mahindra and Mahindra singing "Memory", and "Preludes",
Gone those glorious days...
