Waiting Period On SUV: If you are thinking of buying Tata Punch, Hyundai Xter and Maruti Suzuki Frontx, then before that you should also know about the waiting period on these three vehicles…
Waiting Period: The entry level compact SUV segment in the car market has become quite big now. Customers now have many options. Cars from Maruti Suzuki to Tata Motors are being liked by customers a lot. Now instead of buying hatchback cars, people are shifting to sub-compact SUVs and this is the reason why Tata Punch with a starting price of around Rs 6 lakh is selling the most.
More than 15,000 units of this are being sold every month. While Hyundai Xcent and Maruti Suzuki Frontx are getting continuous bookings. From design to performance, these three vehicles are not disappointing. But customers are definitely getting upset for one thing… and that is their waiting period.
Hyundai Exter
- Waiting period up to 4 months
Hyundai’s entry level compact SUV Exter gained such momentum in the car market as soon as it was launched that today customers have to wait for a long time to bring it home. The price of Exter starts from Rs 6.13 lakh and goes up to Rs 10.28 lakh. People who go to buy a hatchback car book it. But currently there is a 4 month waiting period on it. Exter is a very good car in terms of design and features.
Even though it sells less than Tata Punch and Maruti Frontx, it is continuously attracting the family class. Hyundai Exter has a 1.2-liter engine. It comes with an 8-inch HD touch screen infotainment system. For safety, it has features like 6 airbags, anti-lock braking system + EBD, dashcam, parking sensor and child anchorage system.
