DriveSpark Thinks!
While the Suzuki Vitara SUV is not significant in the Indian market, Maruti could bring the SUV to rival the likes of Hyundai Creta. The most notable is the Suzuki Ignis Adventure, the hatchback has received a lukewarm response in the country, and a special edition could certainly add more value to the buyer.
