Top 15 Car Launches in India, 2023

While the Tata Harrier is quite a capable SUV, compared to its current rivals, it doesn't seem to offer enough value. Yes, with the BS6 update you now get a panoramic sunroof, 6-way power-adjustable driver's seat and auto-dimming rearview mirror, but right now, it might feel too little, too late.

Like many Tata models the Safari also gets drive modes so you have City, Eco and Sport and yes there is perceptible difference between City and Sport for sure. But there is also a terrain response system a la Land Rover. Rough Road mode, Wet mode and then back to the default City drive mode.

The electric game is a gamble of sorts then in India atleast and with the Nexon EV Tata Motors might not have won the jackpot, but it certainly has some good cards to dent the winnings of players who are already in the game.

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny has been an icon for decades and is sold in 200 countries across the world. Looking macho and doing nothing isn’t what this SUV is about, instead it comes across as an underdog which can surprise you and is capable of doing just about everything. Yes, you don’t get all the bells and whistles and the task for Maruti Suzuki is to make the buyer understand that this is not just another car from the brand. It’s a philosophy that lets you have fun and adventure at a cost that’s well within your reach.

Compared to the two Korean SUVs, the top-spec Nexon misses out on features like wireless charging or ventilated seats. However, these are quite exclusive features anyway so, none of the other SUVs in this segment like - Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Toyota Urban Cruiser, or Ford EcoSport offer these as well.

There is a lot that you will get for that cool crore. It is not just big, it is not just luxurious, it is not simply comfortable and nor will it only impress you with its performance prowess. No - the BMW X7 is all of that. And for the well-heeled buyer who always thought they were compromising any of these parameters when going from luxury sedan to luxury SUV, well I suppose I have to say - your car has arrived.

It has the looks, features but it could have been more aggressively priced for sure. Still, with everything on offer it has what it takes to cut out the competition in one big blow!
