Hyundai Creta
SUVs in the 4.2m–4.4m length segment recorded a solid month-on-month (MoM) sales increase in September 2025, driven by festive demand and the positive impact of GST 2.0 reductions. However, year-on-year (YoY) performance reflected a slight dip compared to September 2024. Hyundai Creta — including its EV version — continued to dominate this segment, also ranking as India’s third best-selling car overall, just behind the Tata Nexon and Maruti Dzire.
Total sales in this SUV category stood at 50,351 units, marking a 2.58% YoY decline from 51,684 units sold in September 2024. However, MoM sales grew 17.55% compared to 42,835 units sold in August 2025, signalling a clear festive-season boost.
