Lastly there is the new Mahindra XUV 3XO with its petrol automatic variant which now has more features plus it is the most spacious sub4m SUV right now with excellent width plus overall sense of space.

5-seater Compact SUVs

One of the no-nonsense most popular compact SUVs is the Hyundai Creta because it has the best combination of space, features and useability while there is a new N-Line variant with added performance as well. The Creta comes with a variety of engines and the fact that it does everything well is a reason why it is the best seller in its class.

If you want more fuel efficiency then the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara hybrid is a good choice because it is efficient and comfortable along with being effortless to drive in the city. A wildcard entry is the Thar Roxx because it is much bigger than the traditional compact SUVs but for its looks, appeal and high equipment levels plus value means that it is one of the best 5-seater SUVs right now along with the others mentioned here too. The Roxx also drives very well off-road even with the 4x2 while its styling is a big draw.

EVs

In the EV space we recommend the Punch EV from Tata Motors for its equipment levels plus performance along with optimum range too. For its segment, the Punch EV is a small SUV which is perfect for the city because of its range plus the compact size. The other end is the Tata Curvv EV which has the highest real world range amongst EVs at this price point plus brings in SUV coupe looks along with high equipment levels plus the performance is good along with the earlier mentioned range as well.

Three-row SUVs are becoming very popular due to their practicality while having the appeal of an SUV too. The Alcazar from Hyundai is the petrol option due to its smooth engine plus the rear seat features which are unique. This is followed by the Mahindra XUV700 with its looks, space and features along with its powerful set of engines. The Scorpio N is also another SUV which has butch looks, great ride quality, comfort and a rugged appeal including a 4x4 option as well.
