Maruti Suzuki Ertiga headed the MPV sales charts in March 2021 ahead of Mahindra Bolero, Toyota Innova Crysta and Renault Triber

In the MPV space, Maruti Suzuki India Limited has the Ertiga sitting at the top of the sales charts for a long period of time. The scenario did not change in March 2021 though as the seven-seater recorded a cumulative domestic tally of 9,303 units as against 3,969 units during the same period last year with a Year-on-Year surge of 134 per cent.

The second place was occupied by the long serving Mahindra Bolero MUV. The Bolero has been on sale for around two decades and is still preferred by the customers due to its workhorse nature. The Bolero is on sale for too long without any substantial updates but Mahindra appears to badge the facelifted TUV300 as Bolero Neo and it will be interesting to see what happens to the existing model.

The Bolero posted 8,905 units last month as against 2,080 units during the corresponding month in 2020 with a YoY sales increase of 328 per cent. The Innova Crysta came in third with 5,743 units as against 3,810 units during the same period last year with a YoY growth of 50.7 per cent. It is worth mentioning that the MPV received a minor update late last year.

Renault India has been taking advantage of buyers seeking value for money passenger vehicles in an aggressive price range. The Kwid, Triber and the recently launched Kiger follow the same philosophy. The Triber is positioned attractively below the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and thus reaping benefits. It recorded 4,133 units last month as against 1,644 units.
