Maruti Suzuki Ertiga finished on top ahead of Mahindra Bolero, Renault Triber, XL6, Toyota Innova Crysta and others in November 2020
The Ertiga MPV has long reigned as the best-selling model in its segment and in November 2020, the scenario was no different. The Maruti Suzuki vehicle garnered a total of 9,557 units as against 7,537 units during the same period in 2019 with a Year-on-Year sales growth of 27 per cent and it enjoys the dominance by not having any direct rival in the country.
The Bolero MUV came second with a total of 6,055 units in November 2020 as against 5,127 units during the corresponding period last year with YoY volume increase of 18 per cent. The Triber sits at the bottom end of the MPV price scale and its affordability has been well reached amongst the customers and it reflects on the sales tally.
The Renault Triber posted a cumulative domestic total of 4,809 units last month as against 6,071 units during the same period in 2019 with a 21 per cent Year-on-Year decline. The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is the more premium version of the Ertiga and it has a second-row captain seating arrangement. It appreciably recorded a massive 54 per cent growth in November 2020.
