5 SUVs I would pick if I had to deal with tight parking spots every day
Sub-compact SUVs like the Hyundai Exter and Tata Punch offer ideal solutions for tight city parking. Their slim dimensions and efficient engines provide easy maneuverability without sacrificing the popular SUV aesthetic.
Living in a metropolitan city often means dealing with tight parking spaces every single day and almost everywhere. With the current trend of SUVs dominating the automotive market, it is extremely difficult to manoeuvre past this obstacle, considering SUVs have a bigger turning radius and are more difficult to park in tight spaces, owing to their frame. However, the sub-compact SUVs are easy to park in tight spaces. Here are 5 SUVs I would pick if I had to deal with tight parking spots every single day:
Hyundai Exter
The Hyundai Exter is a micro SUV which is one of the slimmest in the segment, with a width of only 1,710 mm. In addition to that, it is powered by a 1.2L naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine producing approximately 81 hp and 113.8 Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed manual or an AMT transmission. It also gets a petrol-CNG engine producing approximately 67.7 bhp and 93 Nm of torque. It has a starting ex-showroom price of ₹5.64 lakh.
