We Indians love SUVs, be it muscular full-sized ones or be it the mid-size or sub-compact ones. However, those front-wheel-drive small-size SUVs do not have off-road capabilities and can be termed as pseudo Sport Utility Vehicle only. These pseudo SUVs are charming and very affordable but there are a lot of people who want to explore new places with their cars. For them, 4×4 SUVs are the real deal.
