In the table of top 10 midsize SUVs in September 2025, Hyundai Creta continued to lead ahead of Mahindra Scorpio and Mahindra XUV700
The range of midsize SUVs continues to be the flag-bearer in the premium space in India’s passenger vehicle market and last month was another auspicious one for the segment. The Hyundai Creta retained its iron grip at the top while Mahindra Scorpio and XUV700 kept the heat on. The Toyota Hyryder and Tata Harrier, meanwhile, posted strong double- and triple-digit growth respectively.
The Creta remained the undisputed leader clocking 18,861 units in September with a healthy 19 per cent jump over last year’s tally of 15,862 units and it was the second most sold SUV in the country following the Tata Nexon. Most of the SUVs in the list benefitted from the commencement of festive season and tempting price drops courtesy of the GST 2.0 tax regime.
Close on its tail, Mahindra’s Scorpio line including both the Classic and N variants took second place with 18,372 units – up 27 per cent year-on-year. In the third position, Mahindra XUV700 continued its strong run with 9,764 units – posting a marginal 1 per cent growth over last year. The Toyota Hyryder surged ahead in the fourth position with 7,608 unit sales – up 41 per cent from last year, thanks to its hybrid powertrain.
