Mid-size SUVs are a go-to option for majority of car buyers in India, as evidenced by their growing sales numbers. Ranging between 4.2 metres and 4.7 metres in length, these cars offer superior headroom, legroom and elevated driving position, compared to the traditional hatchbacks and sedans. Moreover, they serve as an entry point for aspirational buyers who want the comfort and presence of an SUV at a price slightly higher than a hatchback. Strong demand for such feature-loaded SUVs has pushed several manufacturers to expand their offerings in this segment. Kia, Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki and Toyota already sells a couple of models in the category, and are now set to expand their lineup with a few more models. Let's check out the upcoming mid-size
