Are SUV Segments Becoming Less Relevant to Buyers?

The Kia Sonet, Hyundai Creta and Tata Safari demonstrate how SUVs from different segments can share several technologies while continuing to serve distinct requirements.

The Sonet offers Kia Connect with more than 70 connected features, including remote climate control, vehicle tracking and compatible voice commands.

The Hyundai Creta offers Hyundai Bluelink with more than 70 connected functions, including Home-to-Car connectivity via Alexa.

The Kia Sonet offers six airbags as standard, Electronic Stability Control and Level 1 ADAS with 10 driver-assistance functions on applicable variants.

Why Buyers Are Looking Beyond SUV Categories With features increasingly overlapping, buyers may find it useful to evaluate individual models rather than relying entirely on segment classifications.
