The Toyota Hyryder has the longest wait time stretching up to the second half of 2024

With upcoming entrants like the Honda Elevate and Citroen C3 Aircross, the compact SUV space is starting to get crowded. Currently, there are six SUVs on sale in this segment, with the exception of the Mahindra Scorpio operating in a niche of its own, which are priced somewhere from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom). So, if you are planning to buy one of these compact SUVs, here’s how much you have to wait in these 20 cities:

Takeaways:

The Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq carry the least average waiting time of under a month.

The Taigun is readily available to take home in cities like Indore, Noida, Thane, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad. The Kushaq’s waiting time is comparatively more than the Taigun, but it’s still under a month in most of the cities.
The Hyundai Creta is the best seller in this segment and its popularity is evident from the waiting period. You’ll have to wait around three months for the Creta to be parked in your garage. In several cities like Faridabad, Coimbatore, Ghaziabad, Surat, and Lucknow,, the wait time stretches up to and over six months.

The Maruti Grand Vitara commands a waiting period of around 3-4 months on an average. In Bengaluru, there’s absolutely no waiting period and in Surat, you can get the compact SUV in a month’s time. However, buyers in Delhi, Mumbai, Thane and Chandigarh could have to wait for around 6 or 7 months to take delivery.
The Toyota Hyryder is a rebadged version of the Grand Vitara but commands much more waiting than it. In cities like Faridabad, Thane, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Bengaluru, and Delhi, it might take around a year to reach your home. However, we believe that the highest delay is for the strong-hybrid variants and the regular petrol option might be available sooner.

The MG Astor is also readily available in Coimbatore, Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Even besides that, the average wait time is around a month.
The Kia Seltos has been omitted from this list because the facelifted version will be launching soon and it already has well over 10,000 pre-orders.

The exact details of the delivery times can vary depending on the variant and exterior colour of the model you choose, so check with your dealership for the precise waiting period.
