Top 10 Selling SUVs In April 2019 – Mahindra XUV300 Moves Up To Third

Mahindra XUV300 Vs Maruti Suzuki Vitara Price Comparison

In just over two months of its market entry, Mahindra XUV300 became the third most sold SUV in the country

Mahindra & Mahindra introduced the XUV300 in the domestic market on February 14 and it is the brand’s new attempt in getting a considerable pie at the subcompact SUV segment having failed to do so with TUV300, NuvoSport and the likes. By being the largest UV manufacturer in the country, Mahindra could not let go of this hotly contested segment and its persistent is certainly paying off.

The XUV300 received 10,000 bookings in very little time and beat two of its main rivals, the Ford EcoSport and Honda WR-V almost instantly. Having established itself as a strong player in the sub-four-metre SUV space behind the segment-leading Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, the Nexon has proved to be a tough contender to deal with over the last several months.

But, to everyone’s surprise, the Mahindra XUV300 did get the better of Nexon in April 2019 as 4,200 units were sold. It was the third most sold SUV in the country behind Vitara Brezza and Creta that registered 11,785 and 10,487 units respectively.
