Only the Mahindra XUV300 and Hyundai Venue managed to cross the 1,000 unit mark
The coronavirus pandemic disrupted the entire automobile industry by causing manufacturing operations to be shut down during the nationwide lockdown. While this led to zero car sales in April, May saw the resumption of manufacturing by adhering to the government norms. Car sales, however, remained subdued due to the overall scenario across the nation. As far as the sub-4m SUV segment is concerned, it witnessed a cumulative sales of a mere 4,025 units in May 2020.
