My family owns the Hyundai Tucson now after selling the GLC220d. We initially thought about replacing it with another German, but the sudden price increase put us off. We bought the GLC at around 60L in 2017, but costs almost 1 crore now. Made zero sense to spend that much money on a car. Sold our GLC for around 41L, added in 2 lakhs and bought a Tucson. Best decision ever made. Also, in 8:26 he says that Tucson is made from K2 platform which produces mass market cars, but it's actually built from N3 platform which shares with Kia Carnival, Sonata, etc.

ScorpioN doesn't have ADAS - and Australia NCAP awards 'Zero' ratings if a car doesn't have ADAS. So doesn't matter how safe any car is but it would always score zero in Australian NCAP if they don't have ADAS.
@@danbruh33 I went through the results of the test - It scored Adequately in Adult occupancy test and good in child occupant protection as well. They also conduct 'Pedestrian protection' where understandably it scored low + they gave 0 by default for missing adas. In the video its just said that ScorpioN scored zero... Which paints a completely incorrect picture.

Is there any genuine reason as to why we have such ridiculous import taxes on vehicles? Of-course apart from the fact that it helps Indian car manufacturers to provide lower quality products with no competition to Indian customers. Imagine getting these D-segment cars for the same price as the XUV700 and Safari. It would give buyers more options and push companies like Mahindra and Tata to improve their quality and engineering. Plus, it would make India more attractive for foreign car companies, encouraging them to bring their latest models instead of dumping outdated ones at a premium.
Because having whole manufacturing unit in india will help our local mechanical engineers from IIT and NIT get job. And they will pay Income Tax instead of you. This is done to force company setup a plant that support full manufacturing like Toyota is doing now
@@trijit96 That's actually a great point, I didn't consider the fact that the manufacturing plant and its employees will be paying taxes. Still, the taxes are quite high when compared to other countries, for example USA only has 2.5% automotive tariff even china only has 25%, now compare that with India's 100% not including other duties and taxes before you can drive a car on road. I just don't think this is justified.
So the govt doesn’t want gas guzzling cars to be bought in bulk. So that they can reduce import bills on oil. But they are also playing an unfair game by blocking hybrid to promote the “green” electric which is a non sense.
It's not about saving home grown car companies Any company can avoid paying 💯 tax on their vehicles if they have factory in India Be it toyota, Hyundai or tata But if they want to import complete car they have to pay Higher taxes Why would you setup a manufacturing base in India when you can directly import from Europe , china , japan Like with electronics we don't have much manufacturing and all we do is import 😂
Have been using Tucson diesel since 3 years. Easily matches drive experience of a bmw x3. Now we are actually struggling to find an upgrade because x3, q5, GLC have similar driving experience and doesn’t justify the price tag. I have never faced issues with servicing Tucson. Only niche parts take time. But not more than 4-5 days.

Locally producing them will also reduce their quality of production because they will share parts with their cheaper siblings. Tiguan is a wonderful car, but it needs a Diesel engine. The Tucson is great, but the design is hideous.
@rohan_3128 Yes, but it produced a measly 140 HP, which was way underpowered for its price. Agreed that VWAG cars can be tuned, but there is nothing like a stock car. Ironically, Skoda is planning to bring in the Superb diesel as a CBU sometime next year. That would make the on-road price upwards of 60L, which is German Luxury car territory. People would get the GLA 220d instead of the Superb. I honestly believe that European and American car manufacturers are either delusional or outright stupid. VWAG killing of their diesels is a shot in their leg. Ford pulling the plug abruptly doesn't give confidence either. The time is prime for Hyundai and Kia to introduce their more premium models and for Genesis to enter the Indian market.
Cars like BMW 2-Series, VW T-Roc, Audi Q2 are very good for urban driving and roughly take the parking space of a Baleno or i20 only. Unless someone truely needs a car for 7 people..
After the recent tax increases in recent budget, there is no hope of government ever reducing import fees on ckd/cbu models, even though local manufacturing has increased considerably in the last decade. Such extreme Import fees are now a deterrent to new entries in market, instead of being touted as incentive for local prod & new competition.

Fortuner will always be a legend no comparison, i brought 4x2 auto for 34.40lacs in 2017 and after driving it 90k on all rough and tough road conditions sold it for 25lacs after 6years the car never had any issue with electrical,suspension or engine and my service estimated cost was ard 80k. Totally loved it. Its a beast with less features but worth every peny you spend.

Lack of diesel engine option is a major turn off in that segment, I'm sure they'd be selling significantly more if they had TDI. Saw somewhere Skoda could be bringing back TDI in the Kodiaq facelift next year, let's see how that works out for them.
Baisically, some people buy a car to show off to others. Those are the type of people who go for Brand identity over features. Those who loves to drive or love cars, features are the main priority.
@@yash_kambli Completely agree the driving dynamics are the no 1 thing to look for . But that said the dynamics of a Kodiak are miles ahead of a fortuner.
No, diesel engines are strongly preferred by people in D segment and premium SUVs. Even a world renowned SUV like Jeep Grand Cherokee barely has any sales here with a petrol engine. So why do you think Jeep Meridian would do any better with a petrol engine option? Jeep struggling in India is not because of their engines or powertrain, it's way beyond that and they've to address those issues if they don't want to remain a niche market here.
Bro we have i20 (2013 model) and it is still running so smooth.. but i always wanted to buy a sedan like verna or civic but the family didn't liked the sedan... Oneday i saw Tucson and i just loved that car.. I wish the day will come soon when i'll buy Tucson since it looks far better than creta..
Euro and Australian NCAPs also greatly prioritise many useless features like ADAS which are almost never used in a real life scenario, especially in Indian roads
@@peak_911 Euroncap can be acceptable as europe is a small place with snobbish rich white people of stolen wealth descent!

So you agree with me on the point that Skoda/VW (pre 2.0 cars) and Honda and Toyota (before Maruti collaboration) made far superior products compared to most manufacturers sold in India??? Tucson ek alag cheez hain aur of course one of the best cars hain segment mein
Good info👍I sometimes think of upgrading to the Tucson but parking will be a bigger problem in current residence, my very old sedan already struggles due to other neighbor parking multiple scooters in the way. Maybe i'll get a villa in the future and then can think of an equivalent car. Jitni chaadar ho utne hi pair failane hai 😋
I use a D segment sedan, the Skoda Superb. I absolutely love it, but would not replace it with the new Superb, its too expensive. I will never buy a Kodiaq or any other D segment SUV. Please bring back the Sedans
Kodiaq is bang on bucks i'd say!! I dont't understand why people ignore kodiaq?? I mean it's the best time to buy it now before it gets discontinued & if the next gen kodiaq is launched then the price would itself start from 60-65L with the same engine. Best example is superb itself, look at the price after relaunch, it's insane!! that too without any update!! Right now i believe if a person has 50l, then he should definetly buy kodiaq with eyes closed. The quality, perfomance, looks , safety , sheer driving pleasure , features & build is way superior than some overhyped cars and at par with some premium German brands (Audi , Merc & BMW). The power figures might seem less but trust me , it has beat xuv700 & some other powerful cars with higher power figures😮💨
Pls make a video on Lexus. Even though they are a luxury car they are considered to be the most reliable car in the market more than their parent company Toyota. Pls make a video on how they do it better than some of the other well known European and Japanese luxury cars why they are not able to achieve those level of experience.

Scorpio got Zero in Australian NCAPs because the new criteria says a car needs features like Advanced driver-assistance systems. If a car don't have one, it will automatically get zero rating. Mahendra is now working on ADAS now. Bit it is not usefull in India as Indians drive as they like in the roads and ADAS will always sense danger and never work.
Indians needs acceptance and for that they want to show off (taura jamana). Driving Fortuner gives feeling of " Bahubali" that's why it attracts so much buyers in India, never saw anyone doing off roading. Indians also follow herd mentality and refrain from making independent decision thats why ford, Chevrolet had to leave market, Honda/VW/Skoda are struggling but car like swift is a hotcake.
2:54 - Kindly clarify to your viewers that the poor performance of Scorpio-N in Australian NCAP was due to lack of ADAS.

Keep up the content. 💯 Interesting comparisons.
most awaited video and topic running in my mind after we bought ( thinking what to upgrade in future)
Bhai d degment ki problem hain compeitition with mercedes / bmw aur unka appeal to india 1 people
Best video bhai, ye topic par shayad aapke alava kisi ne video nahi banayi.
Thanks for introducing the different segments of cars
Fortuner will always be a legend no comparison, i brought 4x2 auto for 34.40lacs in 2017 and after driving it 90k on all rough and tough road conditions sold it for 25lacs after 6years the car never had any issue with electrical,suspension or engine and my service estimated cost was ard 80k. Totally loved it. Its a beast with less features but worth every peny you spend.
Hi team!
I have been watching your videos since almost a year now and try not to miss any of them. I have to say that the quality of the content with respect to content, information, awareness, common sense, global know-how, simplicity, presentation, is top notch. People should take note of such content, give it some of their time, and see what's wrong and what's right when it comes to buying decisions, driving behavior, understanding government policies, analyzing automobile industry dynamics, etc.
Keep doing the good work people, you guys are great at it. Would definitely like to connect with the host and exchange a few talks about the industry.
-An admirer of your work with similar thoughts, a good driver with similar frustrations😅
Please Civic aur Accord segment ki sedans Infia mein kyun bikna band ho gaye , unki yaha future kya hey yahan ispe bhi ek detailed video banao bhai
You are absolutely correct sir
Kodiaq and Tucson have drive feeling like a Mercedes benz which is a best premium car brand
Spot on Sir. Kodiaq and Tiguan are pure GOLD under 40 lakh ex-showroom.
Lack of diesel engine option is a major turn off in that segment, I'm sure they'd be selling significantly more if they had TDI. Saw somewhere Skoda could be bringing back TDI in the Kodiaq facelift next year, let's see how that works out for them.
Tuscon is one of the most underrated car in the market.
Your videos are always out of the crowd. Everytime new information 😊
Very informative channel for people who are interested in suv cars .
Aren't SUVs under the J segment classification? Could you make a video explaining all the segments and classifications in the automobile industry?
Ye aur V3 cars, cars ke liye best channel hai. Ye actual reality ko report krte hai.
Baki sab apna faltu opinion ya ek dusre ki copy krte hai.
Features doesn't really matters after a certain price point. Brand identity, look & feel take a lead.
Fortuner fanboy spotted
Baisically, some people buy a car to show off to others. Those are the type of people who go for Brand identity over features. Those who loves to drive or love cars, features are the main priority.
@@RoRZoro those who love to drive the cars will look for better driving dynamics and powerful engines, not features.
@@RoRZoro true
@@yash_kambli Completely agree the driving dynamics are the no 1 thing to look for . But that said the dynamics of a Kodiak are miles ahead of a fortuner.
If jeep brings meridian petrol, it would give good competition to fortuner...
What about average 😂😂😂
No, diesel engines are strongly preferred by people in D segment and premium SUVs. Even a world renowned SUV like Jeep Grand Cherokee barely has any sales here with a petrol engine. So why do you think Jeep Meridian would do any better with a petrol engine option?
Jeep struggling in India is not because of their engines or powertrain, it's way beyond that and they've to address those issues if they don't want to remain a niche market here.
Bro we have i20 (2013 model) and it is still running so smooth.. but i always wanted to buy a sedan like verna or civic but the family didn't liked the sedan... Oneday i saw Tucson and i just loved that car.. I wish the day will come soon when i'll buy Tucson since it looks far better than creta..
Euro and Australian NCAPs also greatly prioritise many useless features like ADAS which are almost never used in a real life scenario, especially in Indian roads
"especially in indian roads"
euro and australian ncaps, don't give a F about india, ADAS is greatly used in Aus and Europe
XUV 700 के ADAS ने इंडिया में एक चौराहे पे टक्कर होने से बचा ली थी. यूजलेस तो नहीं है
Honda City's adas is brilliant
@@peak_911 Euroncap can be acceptable as europe is a small place with snobbish rich white people of stolen wealth descent!
Ancap is all the more idiotic considering Aus is a huge country and their population is nothing! They basically are not drive enthusiasts ...they just want to put everything on the car and do nothing..
He became now commercial more( which is not bad at the same time) .. Just to make video spicy he just said anything regarding the ratings.... I am not motorhead like him, but I also know the reasons that scorpio and similar cars got less rating in euro ncap and au ncap.
One correction. Kodiaq doesn't get massage function atleast in India. It does get 12 way Adjustable front 2 seats with cooling and heating.
European aur Japanese quality control 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Yahi Cheez mein bolta rahta hoon lekin aapke video se kuch faltu ke Korean aur India manufacturers ke fan boys ko sabak mili hogi
So you agree with me on the point that Skoda/VW (pre 2.0 cars) and Honda and Toyota (before Maruti collaboration) made far superior products compared to most manufacturers sold in India???
Tucson ek alag cheez hain aur of course one of the best cars hain segment mein
Good info👍I sometimes think of upgrading to the Tucson but parking will be a bigger problem in current residence, my very old sedan already struggles due to other neighbor parking multiple scooters in the way. Maybe i'll get a villa in the future and then can think of an equivalent car. Jitni chaadar ho utne hi pair failane hai 😋
I use a D segment sedan, the Skoda Superb. I absolutely love it, but would not replace it with the new Superb, its too expensive. I will never buy a Kodiaq or any other D segment SUV. Please bring back the Sedans
Hyundai rocked by launching latest elantra, sonata and tucson according to time and did justice to the premium car market..
Kodiaq is bang on bucks i'd say!! I dont't understand why people ignore kodiaq?? I mean it's the best time to buy it now before it gets discontinued & if the next gen kodiaq is launched then the price would itself start from 60-65L with the same engine. Best example is superb itself, look at the price after relaunch, it's insane!! that too without any update!! Right now i believe if a person has 50l, then he should definetly buy kodiaq with eyes closed. The quality, perfomance, looks , safety , sheer driving pleasure , features & build is way superior than some overhyped cars and at par with some premium German brands (Audi , Merc & BMW). The power figures might seem less but trust me , it has beat xuv700 & some other powerful cars with higher power figures😮💨
Respect you bro.. kita acha sa explain Kia hai!
Pls make a video on Lexus. Even though they are a luxury car they are considered to be the most reliable car in the market more than their parent company Toyota. Pls make a video on how they do it better than some of the other well known European and Japanese luxury cars why they are not able to achieve those level of experience.
Sneaked in Safari and Xuv like we won't notice 😂
you missed 1 factor lots of people who are seeing these can buy a entry German suv for slightly more: like Bmw x1 or Audi Q3
7:42 Diffuse feature is available on Mahindra Marazzo
Ek vedio vehicle exhaust sound pe b ho jae sir
Only heavy vehicles inline 4 Diesel roar hi sunne ko milta hai ...ya fir bikes exhaust note
Baki LMVs to Bas silent hi hote ja re hai
Well brand value matters a lot
And that's the reason why fortuner is still selling in Indian market.
If this d-segment automakers works on marketing, it will improve...
Fortuner ko loog sirf sasti bhaukali aur re-sale value ke liye hi lete hein
Sir can you make video on comparing different standards of different NCAPS around the world.
Ek aur fayada hota hai kam bikane wali cars ka “Chori” kam/nahi hoti hain ye car. Common cars ki chori ya part ki chori bhi common hoti hai
Ek video renault kwid aur us segment ke baki gadi ke baare mein kijiye and maybe one segment above like tiago etc. Kafi features aajkal chhote gadiyo mein mil raha hai and parking bhi practical hai
Pls correct India spelling in description. Good video as always 😀
One of my father’s clients have a nightmare with Tiguan. Parts was not available even after the car was standing from 2 months in Workshop. She sold the car in frustration.
All these cars have really expensive spare parts too as those are imported as well...
But the thing w kodiaq and Tiguan is even thought they have less hp they are much faster than their competitors and are one of a kind,Others are really good to
Good Content 👏
Tucson is build on N3 platform not K2
Scorpio got Zero in Australian NCAPs because the new criteria says a car needs features like Advanced driver-assistance systems. If a car don't have one, it will automatically get zero rating. Mahendra is now working on ADAS now. Bit it is not usefull in India as Indians drive as they like in the roads and ADAS will always sense danger and never work.
Bhai Asli 4×4 chalana hai, smartphone nhi. Aur Fortuner k interior iske bold looks k Sath kaafi sahi lagta hai.
Indians needs acceptance and for that they want to show off (taura jamana).
Driving Fortuner gives feeling of " Bahubali" that's why it attracts so much buyers in India, never saw anyone doing off roading.
Indians also follow herd mentality and refrain from making independent decision thats why
ford, Chevrolet had to leave market, Honda/VW/Skoda are struggling but car like swift is a
hotcake.
Yeh feel dene vali bhot gadia h, land cruiser baap h iska,india ke bahar fortuner ko badmash ni budhu samjha jata h

Happy and satisfied with my mg gloster savvy 6 seater.
2:54 - Kindly clarify to your viewers that the poor performance of Scorpio-N in Australian NCAP was due to lack of ADAS.
A lot of Aussie publications have also talked regarding the same and have also highlighted that the Scorpio-N is a safe car.
I respect your channel and appreciate your videos lekin proper full context dena bhi zaroori hai. Bas apne point ko prove karne ke liye, don't put half context. Thank you 🙏
Edit: Fully agree on all other points you made
Thanks for the vedio.
Really needed to take an informed decision.
Appreciate your insights and efforts.
please make video about the features available in cars for passengers other than driver
Tiguan is faster than XUV 700 (petrol) in drag race despite having less power...

the hyundai interior you showed is not available in india i own Tucson 2020 and i was waiting for this hybrid Tucson you showed in the video however they launched the normal one and also they did not launch the N line and so i canceled my plan and happy to drive 2020 as its share same engine and very comfy to drive (i do not just do city drive im saying this because i have driven Mumbai to Chandigarh with 1 stop only, srinagar to shimla non stop Solang vally to Karu leh , so will say these cars are good for long drive) and we did not face any issues and there was no need for 4*4
Perfect information about this cars thanks a lot
My cousin has a Kodiaq, and it's insanely good
3:07 the cars which are tested in foreign countries have much more features then which are selling in India. For example xtrail which is selling in foreign countries have many more features then that of Indian xtrail
Make video on tuner friendly cars in india
Here in Bangalore Tucsons aren't rlly that uncommon. I see them more than Harriers or Safaris lol. Sadly can't say the same for the other 3
I believe if Mahindra launch any d segment suv with decent looks it would be a hit product in this time....
Absolutely love my dad’s Tiguan 2.0 TSI
Naturally aspirated engiines kya hote hai aur kitne types ke hote hai? please make a video on it.
great and very informative video
Puri vid achhi hai bs 11:25 pr same line repeat krdi apne. Apko shyd bolna tha ki time jyada lgega or cost bhi jyda hogi
Dubai vs India top variant
(ex- showroom)
C5 Aircross 29.7 lakh vs 37.67 lakh
Fortuner 39.3 lakh vs 42.32 lakh
Vw Tiguan 31.5 lakh vs 35.1 lakh
Nissan X-trail 33.8 lakh vs 49.9 lakh
Skoda Kodiaq 39.5 lakh vs 46.8 lakh
Hyundai Tuuson 28.8 lakh vs 35.9 lakh
Fortuner is the closest priced....its expensive everywhere....Nissan and Citreon must be joking, those are cars from 2 segments below.
Tucson is seriously underrated...!!
LOOK how can't people forget . when you forgot Meridian..
.
Buy the Hilux instead of the Fortuner. It's being sold for ₹ 32.30 lac including discounts and offers. Even after spending ₹ 7-8 lac on accessories, it is a very good deal.
I'm FAN of "BI TURBO" CHANNEL 😊
I had rented Tucson in 2017 for my parents. I told them this is a mediocre car but in India this is ultra luxury😂
0:41 You included c5 but didn’t mentioned meridian ,We bought jeep meridian on April 2024 and happy with the car quality, handling and overall features and zero body roll
Bro your videos have started to sound very generic and difficult to finish. I miss the old videos with good research and new knowledge. I appreciate its hard
