In India, buyers looking for strong performance at an affordable price, spacious cabins, and feature-loaded vehicles are increasingly turning towards the mid-size SUV segment. This category has become one of the most popular in the passenger vehicle market, delivering steady sales every month. November 2025 was no different, as demand for mid-size SUVs remained strong, with several popular models posting impressive numbers. Once again, Hyundai Creta emerged as the clear leader of the segment.

The SUV recorded total sales of 17,344 units, marking a growth of nearly 12 percent compared to November 2024. Creta’s success can be credited to its reliable engine options, comfortable ride quality, good fuel efficiency, and a well-equipped cabin packed with modern features. Whether in cities or rural areas, Creta remains a preferred choice for families and daily commuters alike.
Mahindra Scorpio Holds Strong at Second Spot
Mahindra Scorpio secured the second position in the sales chart, registering 15,616 units in November 2025. This represents a solid 23 percent year-on-year growth.

Its popularity among adventure seekers and highway drivers remains strong.
Maruti and Toyota SUVs Show Solid Performance
