Hyundai Creta
The Hyundai Creta has been able to hold on to the first spot, gathering a total sales of 16,898 units last month. 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 14,065 units last month, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza assumed the second spot on the list of the best selling SUVs in India in July 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 13,747 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.

Maruti Fronx
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 12,872 units of the Fronx in July 2025, placing it at the fourth spot.
Tata Nexon
Ranking just behind the Maruti Fronx, the Tata Nexon gathered 12,825 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 sixth spot in the list of top selling SUVs in India in the month of July 2025, with a cumulative sales figure of 10,785 units across powertrains and variants. Whether or not it should be called an SUV is a very debatable topic though.

Toyota sold more Hyryders than Maruti Suzuki sold Grand Vitaras last month, with a sales number of 8,814 units. The Hyryder is offered in petrol, CNG, as well as hybrid powertrains, appealing to a wide category of buyers.
