   The signature Grille from this Korean automaker represents the majestic king of the jungle! The nose design is broad and powerful. This design gives the car and instantly energetic look. We currently have two Kia models on sale in India and both of them have got the tiger-nose grille. Tiger is the only inspiration behind this majestic grille.

3. Jeep Seven Slot Grille
   

   

   Jeep’s seven-slot signature grille wasn’t planned. Earlier, when Ford used to produce vehicles for them, they had a 9-slot grille. But when Jeep decided to grow as a separate brand, they went for a 7-slot grille as the 9-slot was already trademarked by Ford! There is no specific reason as to why there are only 7 slots. Jeep was the first brand to be present in all the continents (Just saying!)

4. Mahindra Toothed Grille
   

   

   The toothed grille you see above is now available in almost all the Mahindra cars in the market. The Alturas G4 stands at the top of the lineup with the same grille design. Now, the upcoming XUV300 will also have the same grille design concept. Mahindra claimed this grille to be shark teeth inspired grille in case of the Marazzo. Guess, its the same with other cars too! Anyhow, this grille adds on to the muscularity of the Mahindra vehicles and give them a better look of course!

5. Honda Wing Grille
   

   

   Honda has also made the grille design uniform now for the Indian lineup. What you see above is the 2019 Honda Civic and all the other Honda cars have got a similar front grille. This grille is shaped like a wing. This one is a chrome wing grille that spreads wide across the front profile of the Honda cars. There is no specific reason for selecting the design but this gives the car a fresh and attractive look for sure!

6. Chevrolet Two-Split
   

   

   Chevrolet was known for its two-split grille. Although the brand is no more here, it has left some great cars like the Cruze to let us enjoy the sheer driving pleasure. Chevrolet’s grille was divided into two parts and the dividing line had the Chevrolet emblem. This gave the car a really sporty finish. Not only the Cruze but the Beat and the Spark also had the same grille which gave them a sporty look!

7. Skoda Signature Grille
   

   

   The Skoda signature grille is also one of the best grilles across the world. It has got a distinctive hexagonal shape and stands upright on the front of the car! This gives all the Skodas a really authentic look which the company is really proud of! Skoda doesn’t need an introduction for authenticity & performance! FYI, the Skoda VRS 245 deliveries have already started! Did you book one for yourself?

This was all about the major Indian brands that hold a large market share. Now you must be thinking that we forgot Maruti Suzuki in this one. This is because Maruti Suzuki hasn’t stopped experimenting yet! We hope they have a uniform grille across their lineup really soon!
