sub 4 m suvs

Hyundai Venue outsold Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza to become the best-seller in the compact SUV segment in the month of April 2021

The compact SUV segment has been all the rage in recent years courtesy of the arrival of a number of new models. It is one of the hotly contested classes in the Indian market due to the affordable nature and customers wanting more practicality from a passenger car with good bootspace capacity and high ground clearance alongside interior room to carry family.

In April 2021, the Hyundai Venue finished on top of the sales charts as the most sold sub-four-metre SUV in the country as 11,245 units were sold. Since its launch, the Venue has been a strong contender and last month, it did beat Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza to clinch the top position by a narrow margin of 25 units.

The second placed Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza recorded 11,220 units as both the SUVs managed to create a sizeable gap to other models in the compact SUV segment. Last year, the segment saw plenty of activity as Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger and Toyota Urban Cruiser (rebadged Vitara Brezza) entered the fray with high anticipation.

The Sonet has unarguably been the most successful of the bunch and in April 2021, it finished in the third position with 7,724 unit sales.
