With rising pollution in India, most of the major cities are becoming hazardous. Even though the residents of these cities try to ensure that they breathe only fresh air by installing air purifiers in their homes, the real challenge is when they go out. Roads are full of dust and pollutants, and it is hazardous to breath such polluted air for a long time. Well, for car owners they can install aftermarket air purifiers in the vehicles, but they are bulky, need extra wiring and a lot of space too. There are three newly launched SUVs in India that offer in-built air purifiers. These vehicles provide factory-fitted air purifiers can be enjoyed by the occupants as soon as they take the delivery of the car. All the three cars mentioned below can purify even 2.5 pm particles.

The car has become very popular in the segment and is currently the second best-selling product after the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. The Venue became the first car in the segment to offer a factory-fitted air purifier in India. The higher-end variants of the Hyundai Venue starting from SX+ provide a portable air purifier that fits straight into the cup holder. The slim air purifier docks into the charger and offers pure air for the entire duration of the journey.
