yes. the 12L -25L category is in T1, T2 but the rest of the country is huge and those are a drop in the bucket numbers.

the link you shared, the top 20 cars by volume are all in the sub 12L range so that is what i was saying.

yeah, it was maruti who said that so there you go.

>Move up the price range and you start to see nonsense (in this country) features like heated seats. My E-class has a panoramic sunroof which I never open because the sun is scorching here, and the glass' greenhouse effect cooks everyone inside so the AC has to work harder.

i do not own a car. no one in my family does. you say your e-class so your income bracket is already in the top %.

>People have moved past the ₹12 lakh mark a while ago. It's more like ₹25 lakhs now. I see plenty of Hyundais, Hondas, Kias, and Toyotas. None of them exactly have a cheap model anymore.

i am not saying people arent buying this. my point is, they are serving a niche and not cutting into the sales of cheap vehicles where haggling is done on the number of airbags.

>Move up the price range and you start to see nonsense

that is my point. if you stay in the price range of sub 12L, you will not find those features and as long as these cars sell, these features will not be common in india.
