<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Renault Duster is a robust, reliable and
easy-to-drive SUV that has conquered the Indian car market. It encompasses most of the sought-after features
of an SUV while being a fuel efficient car.
This makes it ideal for Indian environment. No other car has created the sensation
recently that Renault Duster has done in the Indian automotive industry. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All-terrain vehicles are generally larger in size,
but Duster has compact dimensions. It
has high ground clearance (210mm), short overhangs (822mm at the front, 820mm
at the rear) and big clearance angles.
The reinforced under body is suitable for all-track and all-terrain use. In
terms of safety features it is loaded with lot of safety features such as air
bags, ABS with EBD.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Duster established the new segment – Compact Sports
Utility Vehicle – even though few cars where available in this segment none
could establish volume. The Duster took
the Indian market by storm. It captured
23% market share in just one year. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A valid
question in the context of high fuel prices.
We shall evaluate this in two different scenarios. While driving slow, say in cities, driving
without AC by keeping window glasses down gives better mileage. However, keeping window glasses down and
driving in high speeds (speeds above 65kmph) without AC, there is no
improvement in mileage. Rather there is
a drop in mileage compared to driving with AC keeping window glasses up. This aspect is proven through studies
conducted by certain organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
mileage drop while keeping the window glasses down is substantially higher in
new generation vehicles, which are designed aerodynamically, compared to old
vehicles. The drop in mileage in this
case is attributed to the resistance developed by the air that gets into the
car.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
See the latest Volvo commercial here.<br />
<br />
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7FIvfx5J10<br />
<br />
It has gone viral with 34 million hits. I wish to see some thing like this on our SUVs soon. But the beauty is wrt to the simplicity of the advertisement. This is the change I have been noticing recently in the advertisement. They are becoming more simple and elegant and to the point.<br />
<br />
Another video site I like is the charlston car videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/CharlestonCarVideos<br />
<br />
This site has the videos of the best cars with complete description. <br />
<br />
Seeing all this I wonder what would have been the ancient SUVs. If we go back to the olden days chariots can be termed as the SUVs of those days.<br />
<br />
SUVs as the definition says are sports utility vehicles. These vehicles are predominantly used by the rich to have a sporting fun through vehicles. This trend comes since ages. We remember the kings going on chariots for hunting expeditions. In those days the major needs for an SUV are power unlike today security is the sole responsibility of the chauffeur. Current days SUVs offer a range of inbuilt services which only magic can fetch in the olden days.<br />
<br />
When I see the pictures of chariots I see that Indian chariots are gorgeous than their counterparts in the rest of the world. The trademark of Indian chariots is its flag bearing mast. I have never seen any chariot in the ROW with a flag. The flag is a symbolic representation of the person. As time went by the significance of chariot faded. As the form of warfare changed from bows to swords, chariots were discarded for horse backs. Elephants did serve some time as the SUVs of the kings. Whatever the plight may be chariots are now a representation of eternal past and symbol of our might.<br />
<br />
Have a good day.</div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">SUV is
the widely used and known acronym for Sport Utility Vehicle. With the formation
of a vehicle SUV combined the towing capacity of a full-size truck with the
passenger and storage capacity of a minivan. However, as consumer demands have
changed, so has the vehicle. Many manufacturers now focus on fuel-efficiency
and driving and riding comfort, rather than towing capacity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Typical
features of an SUV include seating for five to seven, high seating and road
positioning, roomy interior, non-dedicated trunk space, high engine capacity
and 4 wheel drive capability. Though it was originally designed to be an
off-road vehicle for sporting purposes, its popularity has spawned several
different breeds, including the luxury SUV.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Like
cars, the SUV has different classes and sizes. The mid-sized version, which
typically seats five, is the best-selling variety in the United States. During
the SUV’s height of popularity, the Ford Explorer remained the top-selling
model. Compact and full-size SUVs appeal to many consumers equally, but for
different reasons. Luxury versions have the same features as standard class models,
but contain upgraded interiors and trim packages typically associated with
luxury model vehicles, such as leather interior.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%;">SUVs
are known for high ground clearance, upright, boxy body, and high H-point. This
can make them more likely to roll over due to their high center of gravity.
Bodies of SUVs have recently become more aerodynamic, but the sheer size and
weight keeps their fuel economy poor. Few of the SUV's to better understand the segmentation are given below in the figure:</span><br />

<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A brief intro on how the SUV is sub-classified are as follows:</span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Mini SUV<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">A mini
SUV (also called subcompact SUV or subcompact crossover) is a class of small
sport utility vehicles. The term usually applies to crossovers based on a
supermini (B-segment cars in Europe) platform such as the Chevrolet Trax, Mini
Countryman, Opel Mokka etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">

<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">A compact
SUV is a class of smaller SUVs that are commonly built with less cargo and
passenger space, and often with smaller engines resulting in better fuel
economy, the term is often interchangeable with crossover SUV. Some examples
are: Audi Q3, BMW X3, Buick Encore, Ford Escape etc. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">A
mid-size SUV is a class of medium size SUVs whose size typically falls between
that of a full size and a compact SUV. This term is not commonly used outside
North America, where fullsize and midsize SUVs are considered similar. Some
examples are: Ford Explorer, Acura MDX, BMW X5, Audi Q7 etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">A
full-size SUV is a class of large size SUVs that are most often larger than
Midsize SUVs and much larger than Compact SUVs. They have greater cargo and
passenger space than midsize SUVs. Full Size SUVs are usually given higher safety
ratings than their smaller counterparts. Some examples are: Chevrolet Tahoe,
Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada, Toyota Sequoia etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">An
extended length SUV, also sometimes called a long-wheel based SUV, are vehicles
that are similar to a full-size SUV, except that these vehicles have a larger
cargo area (around 130 in (3.30 m)) and passenger space that can seat up to 8
or 9 people. The only vehicles built under this segment are the Chevrolet
Suburban, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Ford Expedition EL, and Lincoln
Navigator L.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">There is a continuous debate going among
vehicle enthusiasts “Which one is better - an SUV or a SEDAN?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">If one considers the parameters by which cars are rated such
as Performance, fuel efficiency, ride comfort, price etc sedan scores in almost
all. Still SUV lovers continue to love driving
an SUV. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">I am driving my Scorpio for more than 10 years now;
its odometer reads over 165000. If I
change my car now, I would definitely be going for a new SUV! Why so adamant? There is a certain unshakeable feeling of
safety that one gets inside an SUV. Not
only that, one feels more relaxed at the wheel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">Sitting in the driver’s seat, one gets a
feeling of security, of unsurpassed confidence.
Is SUV safer than a sedan? Debate
is still on. But assume a Mahindra Scorpio
colliding head on with a sedan of equal price, say a Hyundai Verna – you can imagine which one will get damaged more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">What else are better in a SUV? After driving SUV for long I got accustomed
to the commanding view of the road, feel like you own the road. I prefer the chair like sitting posture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">SUVs were considered as gas-guzzlers. Was true
for the giant old Americans – GMs and Fords.
Gone are those days, you can get SUVs – may not be true SUVs, rather
soft-roaders - with monocoque body similar to a sedan that gives good mileage,
equal comfort and ride quality. They also hold most important merits of SUVs. Ecosport, Duster etc fall into this category.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">True SUV will have rugged body-over-frame
construction, 4x4 and very powerful engine.
However, these features are required for off-roading, which most of us
really do not do often.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">In Indian environment SUVs have a few
advantages that sedans can never offer.
The road condition in the entire country – even while travelling in a
four lane highway there is a good chance that you have to get into a damaged
road with potholes that can spoil the suspension of your sedan. In India, where
drivers exhibit poor driving discipline and not considerate of other vehicles,
SUVs command lot of road respect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #141412; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #141412; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Hope you appreciate my love for SUVs! But keep in mind – ‘SUV to be driven as a SUV’!</span></div>

<b>Ford Ecosport : </b>Build
quality is good, the dash board looks posh compared to Duster. Ride & handling is much better compared
to its smaller length. Ecosport has much
more features compared to Duster for the price.
Overall a VFM car.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Duster : </b>Has a
proven engine that gives good economy.
Ride quality is excellent. Sturdy
vehicle. Lacks climate control AC. Has much bigger boot space compared to
Ecosport. However, one has to pay
approx. 3.5 to 4 Lakhs more for Duster on road.<o:p></o:p></div>
