Compact SUVs or urban SUVs dominate sedans and hatchbacks in aspects like ground clearance, commanding seating position, feel of an SUV in the same budget, and an additional shoulder and headroom.

I have literally seen people shortlisting EVs along with other options without knowing a bit about the EV they have shortlisted. “Electric vehicles are the future”, this ideology is playing with the buyer’s mind, making space for uncertain decisions.
