In the table of top 10 SUVs for September 2025, Tata Nexon finished on top with Hyundai Creta and Mahindra Scorpio in second and third respectively
Last month turned out to be another defining one for India’s SUV market with compact and midsize models once again doing the heavy lifting. The latest dispatch data reveals steady performers and unexpected comebacks, led once again by Tata and Mahindra – two homegrown brands that continue to attract volumes and expand their footprint.
Sitting comfortably at the top, Tata Nexon has cemented its position as India’s best-selling SUV – nearly doubling its sales year-on-year. With 22,573 units dispatched in September, the Nexon outpaced every rival on its way to become the best-selling PV in India. The brand’s consistent updates and the EV variant’s popularity have clearly paid off.
Hot on its heels, Hyundai Creta continues to be the segment benchmark for midsize SUVs. Despite intense competition, the Creta posted an impressive 18,861 units – a healthy 19 per cent volume growth over last year. Mahindra’s Scorpio, meanwhile, is on a roll of its own. With 18,372 units, it has grown 27 per cent year-on-year – fuelled by continued demand for the Scorpio N and the more accessible Classic version.

The Tata Punch has had a revival phase lately – clocking nearly 16,000 units in September. Its small size, SUV-like stance and the arrival of the EV variant have certainly upped its appeal overall. The Maruti Suzuki Fronx, meanwhile, maintained solid volumes at 13,767 units, even with a minor dip versus last year.
Among lifestyle SUVs, Mahindra Thar continues to thrive with dispatches crossing 11,800 units with a 34 per cent jump year-on-year. The Hyundai Venue, too, held its ground at over 11,000 units due to the GST 2.0 benefits and additional discounts which lifted the sentiment across the board during this festive period in India.

Lower down the order, Maruti Suzuki Brezza saw a noticeable drop while Mahindra’s XUV700 and XUV3XO posted stable numbers. As 2025 heads into its final quarter, the competition will only heat up. With new launches on the horizon, the festive period could break new records.
