Re: Spiritual Successors to flopped cars in India

Skoda Yeti-> Jeep Compass

Both premium small sized SUVs targeted at those who want to upgrade from the C segment and have caught on to the SUV craze.

Neither are blockbusters but clearly Compass got some things right where Yeti couldn't, particularly the marketing.

Re: Spiritual Successors to flopped cars in India

Standard 2000 > Chevrolet SRV > Tata Tigor > ?

Honestly, I don't think this "fastback" style has/will ever catch on here.

Re: Spiritual Successors to flopped cars in India

My List:
Daewoo Matiz-->Tata Tiago (Both look chic, are solidly built, safe, come with some standout features like parking sensors in the case of the Matiz and driving modes for the Tiago, have commuter engines and are very easy to drive)

Fiat Palio-->VW Polo (Timeless designs, tank like builds, fantastic handling, powerful hearts)

Opel Astra-->Hyundai Verna (segment first features, good build and overall quality, soft suspension, good looking)

Re: Spiritual Successors to flopped cars in India

This one is a great successor.

Hyundai Getz - Hyundai i20

Having owned the Getz was a great experience though.

Re: Spiritual Successors to flopped cars in India

From uv space:
Armada --> scorpio
Tata mobil/ passenger pickup--> mahindra utility
Just like wrx vs evo we had an equal rivalry within armada and sumo with sumo having better sales
Later on scorpio had an edge on safari.

Re: Spiritual Successors to flopped cars in India

Premier Rio: Smallest SUV that one could dream of owning in India. Flopped for good reasons.

Successor: Ford Ecosport. The car was very similar to the Rio in terms of design and dimensions, do note that there was no other car that looked like these two before.

Re: Spiritual Successors to flopped cars in India

I would say Fiat Palio (Petrol) -> Ford Figo (TDCI), not because I bought Figo after Palio but both had similar steering feedback, good to drive feel and good build quality.
