The last quarter of this year has seen a few new vehicle launches. Some of these automobiles immediately became a hit among customers, while some are yet to please the buyers. The same is the case with the Utility Vehicle segment.

The Hyundai Creta is a good example. Many waited eagerly and when it was finally launched, its sales caught on like wild fire. The carmaker is currently struggling to keep up with the domestic demand. Another example is the Mahindra TUV 300, which has done an impressive job as well.

So, how have the older vehicles done in terms of sales during September 2015, compared to the new ones? Here is a look, compared to how the Utility Vehicles did during the same time a year ago as well.
