Compact SUV - Renault Duster

Mid level SUV - Nissan Kicks
I hope you realise that you are looking at nearly identical cars in terms of dimensions
. So both the Duster and Kicks should ideally be in the compact SUV category.

- Premium Hatchback - We dont have any actual "premium"
hatchback but i20 may qualify in Indian context

- Performance Hatchbacks - Mini, Polo GT

- C-segment sedan - Nothing can beat Skoda Rapid in terms of highway manners at 3 digit speed

- Compact crossover - Creta

- D-segment sedan - Skoda Octavia for its sheer performance.

- ~30 lakh SUV - Toyota Fortuner

There should be one more segment - Cult segment.
And my choice is Mustang.
