Hyundai Creta: In July 2025, SUVs maintained their grip in the Indian car market, surpassing small hatchbacks in sales charts. Large cars are now the most desirable among buyers, and several models have a mania that makes them highly sought after.
SUVs Lead the Sales Game
July 2025 registered 3,46,669 units sold in the Indian market, a marginal increase over 3,43,026 units in July 2024. Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra led the charts, with Hyundai and Tata Motors posting annual sales decline of 10.3% and 11.6% respectively. SUVs continued to be the top preference among customers, with Hyundai Creta being the top-ranked one by selling 16,898 units. Although lower than the 17,350 units of last year, it still outsold Maruti Brezza and Mahindra Scorpio.
Creta Outsells Brezza and Scorpio
Second in sales was Maruti Brezza with 14,065 units, registering a 4% year-on-year decline. Third position went to Mahindra Scorpio, both N and Classic models combined, with 13,747 units and reporting a healthy 12% growth. Certain Scorpio models even enjoy months-long waiting lists, but customers are accommodating enough.
Growing Demand for Fronx
Maruti Fronx was fourth with sales of 12,872 units in July 2025, up from last year’s 10,925 units — an increase of 18%. Tata Nexon was second with 12,825 units, but its sales plummeted compared to last year. Tata Punch also saw its sales drop, selling 10,785 units.
Mahindra Thar’s Impressive Growth
Mahindra Thar secured the seventh position with 9,845 units, exhibiting a dramatic 125% year-on-year sales growth. This off-road SUV’s increasing popularity has turned it into a force to be reckoned with in the market.
Other Top Models
Toyota Hyryder secured the eighth position with 8,814 units, up by 19% from last year. Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet secured the ninth and tenth positions, although their sales fell by 9% and 19% respectively.
