A body style known for not being economical is taking over the world when electric mobility is referred to as the future. Well, we find it ironic. Nevertheless, the Indian market also has a high affinity for SUVs, and it is pretty evident on the sales tally as well. In the month of December SUVs made high numbers. In fact, this month we will be witnessing a host of SUV launches, with the first one being the Mahindra Thar RWD.
