As we move further into 2025, the car market in India keeps showing interesting changes in what people like. April 2025 was a notable month, showing the cars that sold the most and making us wonder if some long-time popular choices, especially in the SUV group, might be losing their top spot.
Maruti Suzuki Still Leads, But Hyundai Creta Is Strong
Once again, Maruti Suzuki has shown it’s still a major player in India, with many of its cars in the top 10 best sellers for April 2025. The company’s consistent sales come from having many different types of cars, good fuel efficiency, and people trusting the brand. Cars like the Maruti Dzire (16,996 units) and Maruti Brezza (16,971 units) sold very well, showing that people still want both sedan and small SUV types of cars. The Maruti Ertiga (15,780 units) also continues to be the top-selling family car.
However, the car that sold the most in April 2025 was the Hyundai Creta, with a great number of 17,016 units sold. This is the second month in a row that the Creta has been the best-selling car overall in India, showing that it’s still very popular in the medium-sized SUV group.
Here’s a simple list of the top sellers:
- Hyundai Creta: 17,016 units
- Maruti Dzire: 16,996 units
- Maruti Brezza: 16,971 units
- Maruti Ertiga: 15,780 units
- Mahindra Scorpio: 15,534 units
- Tata Nexon: 15,457 units
- Maruti Swift: 14,592 units
- Maruti Fronx: 14,345 units
Note: This list is based on the information we have now and might change slightly in the final reports.
India’s Favourite SUV – Is Its Top Position Shaky?
For a long time, the Hyundai Creta has been seen as India’s favourite SUV, always selling the most in its category and often overall. While it was still number one in April 2025, looking closer shows some interesting things happening.
The Mahindra Scorpio, which includes sales of both the Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic, did very well, selling 15,534 units in April. This strong, tough SUV has many loyal buyers, especially in smaller cities and towns, and its steady sales show that people still like it a lot.
Also, the Tata Nexon, another popular small SUV, is in the top 10 with 15,457 units sold. Even though it’s not at the very top like before, it’s still a strong competitor in the busy SUV market.
The slight “trouble” for the Hyundai Creta isn’t that its own sales are really low, but more that its competitors are selling very well. The SUV market is getting more popular and has more choices, which means the Creta now has tougher competition than before. New cars and updated models from other companies are trying to be the best, which could take away some of the Creta’s long-held top spot.
Maruti Suzuki’s SUV Plan Is Working
Maruti Suzuki has been adding more SUVs to its lineup, and having the Brezza and the newer Fronx in the top 10 shows that this plan is working. The Brezza, a well-known small SUV, continues to sell well, while the Fronx, which is based on the Baleno car, has quickly become popular, showing that people in India are liking Maruti’s SUVs more and more.
Tata Motors – Selling Consistently
Tata Motors continues to be an important company in the Indian car market, with the Nexon regularly being one of the top sellers. While the Punch, which was the best-selling SUV in the last financial year, is now in 11th place in April 2025, Tata’s overall sales are still strong, showing their focus on safety, design, and good value.
What Will Happen Next?
The sales numbers for April 2025 show a changing car market in India where Maruti Suzuki is still the overall leader, but Hyundai’s Creta is the single best-selling car. However, the strong sales of the Mahindra Scorpio and the Tata Nexon mean that the competition in the SUV group is getting tougher.
With new cars and electric vehicles coming into the market, the next few months will be important in seeing if the Hyundai Creta can stay as India’s favourite SUV or if a new car will take its place. The growing interest of buyers in SUVs at different prices means that this group of cars will continue to be a major battle for car companies in India.
