While many enthusiasts in India would love to see a luxury vehicle in their garage, most buyers just cannot afford these vehicles due to the expensive price tag. Practically speaking, most enthusiasts from middle-class families in India cannot even think of affording such vehicles. To get the feeling of owning a luxury car, many turn to put the logo or change a few things in the mass-segment affordable vehicle to make them look like expensive luxury cars. And the simplest and the most affordable way to own such high-end vehicles is to get the vehicle to a local garage who is enthusiastic enough to put a logo of Mercedes-Benz on the regular mass-segment vehicles. Here are five such examples where the owners of mass-segment vehicles have chosen to make their vehicles look luxurious.
Audi Ciaz
Ciaz is currently one of the best-selling cars in the Indian market but most people do not want to blend in and disappear in the sea of numerous vehicles on the roads. Here is a Maruti Suzuki Ciaz that gets an aftermarket body kit but the most interesting part here is the new massive grille that makes it look like an Audi. It sure is a good feeling in a car that says Audi in the front and makes people turn heads on the roads.
