Key Takeaways
-
The entire compact SUV segment witnessed a drop in demand for the month of April, shrunk by one-fifth, but still enjoyed close to 40,000 unit sales.
-
Hyundai continues to dominate the segment with the Creta which was the only SUV to achieve more than 10,000 unit sales last month. Its month-on-month (MoM) demand dropped by over 6 percent, but still enjoyed sales of over 15,000 units. Its demands include the sales of the Creta N Line.
-
The Maruti Grand Vitara had the biggest MoM losses in terms of unit sales dropping by more than 30 percent, and the April 2024 sales tally stood at a little over 7,600 units. In comparison, the average sales of the last 6 months for this compact SUV are over 10,000 units.
-
It wasn’t a good month for the other version of the Grand Vitara SUV either, as the Toyota Hyryder sales dropped by over 45 percent MoM and was the fourth highest-selling model of the segment.
-
Kia witnessed a drop in MoM demand for the Seltos by almost 15 percent, with a tally well below its 6-month average sales of around 9,000 units.
-
The Volkswagen Taigun was the only compact SUV with a positive MoM growth, 10 percent, for April 2024 sales as its tally crossed 1,700 units. Meanwhile, its Skoda-badged sibling, the Kushaq suffered a 10 percent MoM drop in sales with less than 1,200 units sold.
-
Production for the Honda Elevate nearly halved in April compared to March, likely in preparation for the MY2024 updates that improved the SUV’s overall safety package.
-
The MG Astor sales reduced by more than half this previous month, barely crossing the 1,000 unit sales mark.
-
At the bottom of the segment’s monthly sales table, we have the Citroen C3 Aircross which didn’t even manage to ship 100 units in April.
-
Expect most of these sales figures to be closer to their usual figures in the following month.
