The Toyota Fortuner continues to lead the full-size SUV segment in the Indian market, followed by the Skoda Kodiaq
With the recent reduction in GST rates, the full-size SUV segment is expected to grow further in the automotive space. The price cut will help improve the affordability factor of these SUVs, making them more accessible to a larger chunk of customers. Regarding sales, the Toyota Fortuner has been dominating the full-size SUV segment for a long time, and this trend continued in August 2025.
Continuing its run at the top spot, Toyota Fortuner posted sales of 2,503 units in August 2025. This accounts for a 7% YOY growth as 2,338 units of the SUV were sold in the same time period last year in 2024.
On the other hand, Fortuner saw a dip of 22% in the MOM sales. The proven bulletproof reliability, coupled with the brand value associated with the Toyota badge, is one of the main reasons behind the SUV’s consistent sales.
