Mid-size SUVs continue to dominate the Indian car market. The same was seen in last month's sale also. In May 2026, the top-10 cars of this segment attracted a total of 88,176 new customers. This figure shows an annual increase of 48.4% (average growth) compared to the total 59,390 units sold in May 2025.

If we look at the sales report, Mahindra Scorpio was the best selling SUV in its segment last month. Whereas Hyundai Creta and Maruti Suzuki Victoris have got a lot of customers.

Maruti Suzuki Victoris

Maruti Suzuki's new Victoris has created a stir as soon as it arrived in the market and has directly captured the third position with sales of 10,853 units. Since this is a completely new model (NEW), it cannot be compared with last year, but the initial figures show its bumper success.

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara managed to make its place in the top-5 with 9,366 units. This car has achieved an explosive annual growth of 80.2%, which is the highest among the top-5 cars. Due to its hybrid options and excellent fuel efficiency, its demand among customers is continuously increasing.
