If you have to single out one segment in the Indian automotive scene that has grown tremendously, it has to be the SUV market, and more specifically, the Compact SUV market. So what is a compact SUV? Well, an SUV with only 5 seats and length close to 4-metres can be termed as a compact SUV, though, this definition might not hold true in some of the cases.
