THE AUTOMATIC CHOICE
SUVs are everywhere these days, in every size, shape, and flavour you can imagine. From the tiny micro-SUV munchkins to the full-sized road kings, the market's a buffet. And why not? They are best suited for Indian roads and families who love travelling big.
The sub-4m SUV segment, particularly, is a big hit due to its practicality, performance and great scope for an upgrade from a hatchback.
The SUV frenzy didn't stop with just size; it trickled down to everything, beginning with features, technology, and even transmissions, transforming the entire dynamic. After all, if you want to compete with the big dogs, everything should be considered and competitive, and among those names, the transmission is a big one, and you don't want to ignore this one if you are planning on an upgrade to an SUV. 
This story is from the August 2025 edition of Overdrive.
