Key Takeaways
-
The month of July 2025 was no different in terms of compact SUV sales compared to the previous months, as it saw the Hyundai Creta clinching the title of being the bestselling compact SUV again. The Korean carmaker sold 16,898 units of the SUV which included the sales of the Creta N Line and Creta Electric too. While its month-on-month (MoM) sales grey by 7 percent, its year-on-year (YoY) market share shot up by 4 percent.
-
The Toyota Hyryder secured the second spot with total sales and dispatches amounting to 8814 units, which is way more than the 5,000-unit average it has been selling for the past 6 months. Because of this, its MoM sales grew by over 18 percent.
-
The next spots were held by the Maruti Grand Vitara and Kia Seltos, both of which sold over 6,000 units in July 2025. However, while the Seltos recorded a 15 percent increase in monthly sales, the Grand Vitara’s sales declined by more than 6 percent.
-
The Tata Curvv SUV-coupe, which includes the sales numbers of its all-electric version too, crossed 2000 sales in July 2025, similar to that in June 2025. Its MoM sales and YoY market share declined at a negligible margin.
-
Both the Honda Elevate and Volkswagen Taigun crossed 1300 unit sales individually in July 2025. However, the Honda SUV recorded more than 14 percent decline in monthly sales, but for the Taigun, the MoM numbers increased by over 13 percent.
-
The Skoda Kushaq was the next in line, and while it failed to cross the 1000 sales mark, the MoM sales increase was similar to the Volkswagen Taigun sibling at over 13 percent.
-
The Citroen Basalt SUV-coupe and Citroen Aircross SUV were the next in line, followed by the MG Astor that took the last spot in the segment’s sales. The Basalt and Astor faced a heavy decline in sales, but the Aircross managed to add some more unit sales in July 2025. However, the Aircross could still not cross the 100 sales mark yet again.
