While Hyundai dominated the compact SUV segment and Creta topped SUV substrata as a whole, the company’s sub 4m SUV sales declined
The month of November 2024 has been a slow one where automotive sales are concerned. The festive season (September and October 2024) over and the marriage season diverting expenditures, automotive sales take a slight hit around this time. Despite that, most of India’s best-selling cars and SUVs registered positive growth demonstrating their sales potential.
