Maruti Suzuki Ertiga finished on top of the sales charts with 9,920 units as against 3,306 units in June 2020 with 200 per cent YoY sales growth
In the month of June 2021, Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) regained the top position in the MPV/MUV sales table as 9,920 units were sold against 3,306 units during the same period last year with a Year-on-Year volume growth of 200 per cent. The Bolero finished in the second position with a cumulative domestic tally of 5,744 units.
The MUV has been a consistent seller for the homegrown UV specialist for a couple of decades due to its high popularity across the country. A recent roadmap indicated that the next generation Bolero is in the development but it could be years away from reaching showrooms. However, the Bolero Neo, which is essentially the facelifted TUV300, will be launched on July 15.
The Bolero recorded 3,292 units in June 2020 and it led to a YoY surge of 74 per cent last month. The Ertiga’s more premium sibling, the XL6, registered a total of 3,978 units as against 1,198 units during the corresponding month in 2020 with a YoY volume increase of 232 per cent. The XL6 could be one of the models waiting to get a reported 1.5-lite BSVI compliant diesel engine in the near future.
