The CRV looks futuristic and posh, it’s got all the features you would expect a car from this segment along with a “Lane watch Camera assist system”. There are Automatic Transmissions available in Petrol and Diesel variants. But we would recommend going for 2.0L petrol for a plush, vibration free ride.

CRV is the only SUV in this list that is an 7 Seater, so for those occasional trips with your kids and their friends or for a girls night out, there is enough space.

Here we have the smallest SUV from BMW, the New new X1. And it looks much better than before. Entry Level model from BMW is not short of anything though, The diesel and power variants are proper powerful and fully feature loaded as BMWs come. BMW steering systems are oriented towards sporty driving so mind you at low speeds they feel a bit heavy. Other than this the X1 looks good and drives like any other BMW which means its awesome to drive. The Base Expedition model is stripped off quite a few features. Also its always advisable to purchase BMW service package along with the car for hassle free ownership experience.
Prices for the BMW X1 start from Rs. 35,70,000
