1. Maruti Brezza- 19,190
Toppling the charts from July 2024, the Maruti Brezza comes out as the undisputed king of the SUV space with 19,190 units sold in a single month of August 2024. This is a testament to the market dynamics that underscore the priority criteria of buyers, where a far more tech-loaded SUV, the Hyundai Creta slips to the second spot with a margin of around 2.5k monthly units. However, Maruti enjoys a brand trust among the masses like others can just envy, and there are reasons supporting it as well, be it an extensive service center network and affordable maintenance or easy availability of parts.
2. Hyundai Creta- 16,762
Standing strong at the second spot was the Hyundai Creta, which continues its spell of solid sales numbers, now complemented by a richer set of features combined with the flexibility of selection from 3 engine options- a 1.5L diesel or a 1.5L turbo petrol or a 1.5L NA petrol mill. With the latest update, Creta Facelift took the second spot in the top 5 best-selling SUVs in August 2024, owing to its already established brand name and the high-tech equipment list.
3. Tata Punch- 15,643
Tata Punch comes out as the workhorse of Tata that made its place in the top 5 best selling SUVs at the third spot, while no other SUV from the brand could make a significant impact in the top charts. This is the courtesy of its superior build quality, higher crash test rating, and the cross segment shoppers in the hatchback category those who find this micro SUV a worthy car to extend their budgets for, ticking all the small car advantages in mind.
4. Mahindra Scorpio Classic And Scorpio N- 13,787
The Mahindra Scorpio twins stand at fourth place with 13,787 units sold in August 2024. This feat, even after years of launch has made Mahindra a known and revered name in the SUV space, where with its recent launch of Mahindra XUV 3XO, took the sub 4-meter space by storm with over 50,000 biikings registered in its first hour of opening. While you only get a diesel engine option with the Classic Scorpio, the Scorpio N comes with both petrol and diesel mills with an option for 4X4 as well.

Verdict
The sales table for the top 5 best selling SUVs in August 2024 is a testament of the fact that buyers are favouring compact SUVs over the big size beats. This has a very reasonable supporting claim that while compact cars are easier on the pockets in terms of affordability at first, they also churn out better fuel economy with lesser weight and smaller engines than those extra tonned movers.
