It's that time of the year again. 2022 is coming to a close and we have had some exceptional automobiles make their way to us this year. A few of them have redefined the segments that they were launched in, and some even rekindled our love for vehicles in categories that had seen little to no action in the last few years. EVs continued their march, but the renewed focus on hybrids was refreshing to witness.
With several categories witnessing several strong contenders, our focus has been to look at overall excellence rather than just the odd stand out feature.
The automotive landscape is changing, and it is heartening to see how a large number of cars and bikes from multinational companies have been engineered for India, many of whom have made into our list below:
MID-SIZE SUV OF THE YEAR
TOYOTA URBAN CRUISER HYRYDER
Maruti Suzuki and Toyota are a partnership that we didn't know we needed. The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder are products that simply couldn't have existed otherwise. Armed with Toyota's strong hybrid tech and Suzuki's global C platform, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder makes a serious case for hybrid tech. The hybrid drivetrain is extremely fuel efficient and you can expect to get more than 20kmpl in everyday driving which is remarkable for such a large car.
