Global Designs by Indian Auto Giants give new dimension to Make In IndiaThe very best designs of the auto expo summarized right here

The Auto expo 2016 is the annual heavenly event for automobile enthusiasts and media frenzies. But even if you're not a car nerd, the event holds great importance for entrepreneurs and businesses alike to see vital marketing strategies utilized by the automobile giants to keep their sales going. Technology is rapidly replacing entire industries previously thought to be as irreplaceable, such as Uber's motto to make private car ownership a thing of the past. From gas guzzling and loud cranking sports car, today's consumer is shifting to fuel efficient hybrids and showing interest in electric as well as alternate fuel cell technologies.

How do Indian manufacturers compete with such a dramatic shift of priorities of consumers? The Auto Expo clearly demonstrated that clearly by including designs that were difficult to look away from. Given the limited budget of these bad boys, some of the aerodynamical designs are paving way for ultra masculine, robust models that make heads turn in the streets. Here are a few of the best picks:

Alpha Male Exteriors

Bold new styling toppled with premium new interiors would be an accurate statement while describing Mahindra XUV 500. The intimidating cheetah-inspired design shape will leave you difficult to look away. Grand luxurious sharp cuts in the interior get justify the luxury it aims to targets.

Graphics of fabric, body hugging seat bolsters, geometric texture accented with chrome handles and premium knitted fabrics, sporty instrument cluster pods give a luxury feel.

Classic yet affordable SUV

India's largest car manufacturer, Maruti enters the highly-competitive sub-compact SUV segment with the Vitara Brezza To give a whole SUV feel, Maruti went with a boxy design.

Pull aside for the giant SUV

Designed by Hyundai's German design center, the aggressive yet stable design instantly meets the eye of the Hyundai Tucson.

Aerospace Design

The aerodynamical shell is especially designed to go against the wind while increasing fuel efficiency when going towards it. Interior the gear and switches have an extra soft natural texture to them, and the unmatchable front hood but sharp cutting rear makes reverse parking a smooth ride as well.
