Maruti has launched the vitara to meet the needs of the people that are willing to buy a big suv but aren’t able because of pricing range. This car has all those that a cosumer wants to buy in an suv. So the company has made the counsumer be able to enjoy the ride of an suv in much less peicing range. This has good engine, interior, exterior , ground clearence.
Also the car has a new and a fresher modern styling that a car buyer wants to have. It has a all balck interiors with a large loading capacity but it can also be enlarged by folding the second row of seats. Yes, I agree that this car is not 7 seater so it comes in the catergory of compact suv.
