Maruti Suzuki XA Alpha might just be the next big thing in the Indian automobile industry. Despite the fact that Maruti is the largest car manufacturer in the industry, it is yet to have a presence in the compact SUV segment. The XA Alpha was first unveiled at the Delhi Auto Expo 2014 and it was able to amaze the audience big time. The build and appearance of the car was quite appealing to the onlookers, which is why the wait has been quite long. However, with the launch of the car just round the corner, it is expected that the car will rival the upcoming i20 crossover.
The new XA Alpha is set to be one of the most important breakthroughs in the Indian market. On the other hand, the i20 crossover, which is based on the Elite 20, has been spotted quite a number of times. This has implied the fact that both the cars will be launched at similar time. The fact that the cars will have similar specifications and features also necessarily means that the two models will be pitted against each other. However, whether the cars are successful in the highly competitive Indian automobile industry is dependent on customers.
Another aspect that is to be kept in mind is that the presence of so many options in the SUV-MPV segment, led by the Duster AWD. Apart from this car, some other popular models are Ecosport and Mobilio, which have been able to capture customer’s satisfaction. Whether XA Alpha is successful in this highly competitive segment, is a matter of time to decide.
