Hyundai Creta was the most sold SUV in India in February 2021 ahead of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Seltos and Kia Sonet

With the compact and mid-size SUV segments booming in sales, automobile manufacturers are stepping in with new products naturally to grab a large pie. This is the reason why the list of top 15 most sold SUVs in the country in February features them in the majority. The Creta continued to be the best-seller with 12,428 units as against 700 units with 1675 per cent growth.

The second-placed Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza finished closely behind the Hyundai Creta with a total of 11,585 units as against 6,866 units during the same period last year with a 69 per cent volume increase. Its main rival, Hyundai Venu, ended up third with 11,224 units as against 10,321 units during the corresponding month in 2020 with 9 per cent growth.

The Creta’s direct rival, Kia Seltos, slotted in at fourth with 8,305 units in February 2021 as against 14,024 units during the same period in 2020 with 40.7 per cent Year-on-Year de-growth. The Sonet has been performing well since its market debut in the second half of 2020 as nearly 8,000 units were sold last month.
