Spiritual Successors to flopped cars in India

volkman10 · 7th July 2020, 18:18

My take:

Tata Indica( masking its success part) --> Tata Tiago

anandhsub · 7th July 2020, 18:48

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.

Standard 2000 > Chevrolet SRV > Tata Tigor > ?

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

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)

This one is a great successor.

Hyundai Getz - Hyundai i20

Having owned the Getz was a great experience though.

Cielo/Astra/Lancer --> Corolla,Civic

pranavtengshe · 8th July 2020, 13:31

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.

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.

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.

anand.shankar · 8th July 2020, 14:03

Punto 》 Altroz ?

Solid build, decent road manners, anemic petrol engine

AMG Power · 8th July 2020, 14:28

Spot the difference:

Sonalika Rhino and Toyota Qualis

virajmore03 · 8th July 2020, 14:49

The Chevrolet SRV to the other premium hatchbacks like i20, Jazz, Polo gt etc.?
