Maruti Suzuki sold over 10,000 units of the Vitara Brezza while the Hyundai Venue failed to cross the 8k sales mark in September 2019

The sub-4m SUV segment witnessed an overall growth of over 10 per cent.
Out of the six SUVs on offer, only two managed to post positive growth in their YoY market shares.
The Vitara Brezza, Nexon and EcoSport were the only SUVs that posted a positive growth in their MoM numbers.

In recent years, the SUV segment has witnessed tremendous growth thanks to better practicality and road presence. This segment received a new member in the form of the Hyundai Venue in May this year. Following its launch, the Venue was successful in striking the right chord with Indian car buyers and witnessed a huge demand right off the bat. In fact, it outsold the former king of the segment, the Maruti Vitara Brezza, for two months consecutively. However, Maruti has managed to reclaim the top spot in the sub-4 metre SUV segment by selling over 10,000 units of the Brezza in the month of September. Here’s how all the sub-compact SUVs fared in terms of sales in September 2019:
