The sub-compact SUV segment is expanding rapidly and capturing a significant share of sales in the Indian market. The Maruti Fronx holds the top spot, leading by a huge margin with 21,461 units sold, marking a 51% increase compared to the previous year.
Following closely, its sibling, the Maruti Brezza secures the second position with 15,392 units sold. Meanwhile, the Tata Nexon comes in third with 15,349 units dispatched, reflecting a 7% year-on-year growth. The Tata Punch ranks fourth with 14,559 units, though it has experienced a 21% decline compared to last year.
