The Chevrolet Captiva, though, looks full of promises for the SUV But these haven't been strong contenders for the Honda CR-V. Then we also have other SUV cars in India like the Nissan X-Trail and Mitsubishi Pajero. In India, the SUV is available with two engines, a 2.0-litre i-VTEC that delivers 141 bhp and a 2.4-litre i-VTEC that stirs up 161 bhp. With its chic looks and cozy interiors the big monstrous car has attracted almost every Indian. The city crowd that had been wanting something different than the usual sedans has been very happy since the coming in of the Honda CR-V. What better vehicle can one have than an SUV for such family trips? As the Indian economy takes a turn for the better, the lifestyle is also changing and traveling and weekend getaways have become common. The Indian roads have welcomed not just entry-level utility vehicles like the Mahindra Bolero and Tata Sumo Grande but also classy SUVs like the VW Tiguan and BMW X5. That was indeed astounding and the SUV market has only grown since then. A year before that, in 2007, 3.5 Lakh SUVs were sold in India. Never before did the Indian consumer have so many options as far as SUVs were concerned. Over 40 models were lined up for launch at an auto show that year and, for the very first time one was given the assurance of being able to see 35 SUVs in 2 years. Two years ago, in 2008 we began noticing the change in the Indian car industry.
