Hyundai Creta
The Hyundai Creta reclaimed the first spot last month, gathering a total sales of 15,786 units. The number of Hyundai Cretas sold every month is greater than the total monthly sales of quite a few mass market car manufacturers in India.
Maruti Brezza
Selling 14,507 units last month, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza was pushed to the second spot on the list of the best selling SUVs in India in May 2025. The Brezza comes with a 1.5-litre K-Series petrol engine, generating 103PS and 137Nm of torque. There’s also the option of a factory-fitted CNG, further widening the appeal of this SUV.
Mahindra Scorpio
The Scorpio has been the best selling Mahindra SUV in India consistently over the past few months, selling 12,740 units in the last month itself. This includes the sale of both Mahindra Scorpio Classic as well as Mahindra Scorpio N, with the brand selling more diesel Scorpios than petrol ones.

Tata Nexon
Ranking just behind the Mahindra Scorpio, the Tata Nexon gathered 11,602 units of sales during the same period. The Tata Nexon is available in a variety of powertrain options, including petrol, diesel, electric, and now CNG too! It is, in fact, the first passenger car in India to get a turbocharged-petrol engine fitted with a CNG kit.
Tata Punch
The Tata Punch has moved to the fifth spot in the list of top selling SUVs in India in the month of June 2025, with a cumulative sales figure of 10,446 units across powertrains and variants. Whether or not it should be called an SUV is a very debatable topic though.

The Maruti Fronx is not just a better-looking Baleno. It proves to be an appealing package that bundles practicality, driveability, as well as a great design. MSIL has been able to sell 9,815 units of the Fronx in June 2025, placing it at the sixth spot.
Mahindra Thar
Mahindra has got another contender for this list, establishing its stronghold with the new Mahindra Thar Roxx. The Thar Roxx and the 3-door Thar together brought in 9,542 units of sales in the month of June 2025.
Mahindra Bolero
