In July 2024, the Hyundai Creta led the midsize SUV sales table ahead of the Mahindra Scorpio, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Mahindra XUV700
The Hyundai Creta underwent a significant mid-cycle update earlier this year, which has been well received by consumers. As a result, the midsize SUV has consistently posted strong sales numbers in recent months, reclaiming its position at the top of its segment’s sales charts. In July 2024, the Creta outperformed both the Mahindra Scorpio and the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
The Hyundai Creta achieved total sales of 17,350 units, marking a 23 per cent year-on-year growth compared to the 14,062 units sold during the same period last year. The Mahindra Scorpio followed in second place with 12,237 units sold, reflecting a 16 per cent increase from the 10,522 units sold last year.
In the third position, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara recorded sales of 9,397 units, up from 9,079 units, reflecting a 4 per cent year-on-year growth. Meanwhile, the Kia Seltos, which received a facelift last year, saw a domestic sales tally of 5,347 units in July 2024, a significant drop from 9,740 units in the same period last year. This 45 per cent year-on-year decline caused the Seltos to slip down to sixth place in the rankings.
