The newly launched Maruti Brezza has started off to a great start. Bookings are through the roof and no wonder, this is now India's best selling SUV and will remain so for months to come. Following it very closely is Tata's rockstar, the Nexon. Infact, the Nexon was leading the pack for a while now. Both these models are sub 4m compact SUVs. The Nexon recently got new variant additions in the form of Jet edition.
Hyundai's Creta comes in at the number 3 spot. For a car that has an average ex-showroom price of Rs 13-14 lakh, selling over 12500 units a month is a great achievement. Tata's second entry here is the Punch while Hyundai's Venue too makes it in the list at the 5th spot. The Venue got a variant addition today with the launch of the N-Line model.
In the coming few months, Maruti will further deepen its hold in the SUV market with price announcement of the Grand Vitara's mid-size SUV. We will be driving this SUV for over 1000km next week and will get you a detailed review on our Youtube channel. The same vehicle will also be sold by Toyota under the Hyryder brand name.
