Top-Selling MPV In India In May 2020: Maruti Ertiga Continues To Maintain ‘Segment-Leader’ Title
The Indian auto industry is slowly working its way back to near-normalcy, post the COVID-19 lockdown which lasted close to two months. Vehicle manufacturers have slowly restarted production operations since mid-May when the government announced relaxations in the lockdown regulations.
Amidst the restart of vehicle sales in India, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has emerged as the best-selling MPV in the Indian market in the previous month.
The Maruti Ertiga registered a sales of 2,353 units in May 2020, amidst the restart of operations of company dealerships across the country. This is still a massive decline of around 73% compared to May 2019 when the Ertiga registered close to 9000 units of sales.
Following the Ertiga is the Mahindra Bolero in the second position on the list. The Mahindra Bolero registered 1,715 units of sales in the previous month. This is a 71% drop compared to May 2019 when sales of the Bolero stood higher at 5,947 units.
Third on the list is the budget-friendly Renault Triber MPV. The sub-4-metre entry-level MPV offering from the French brand registered 931 units of sales in the month of May 2020. The Triber since its launch has been received extremely well, helping Renault to bounce back in terms of sales in the Indian market.
The Toyota Innova Crysta comes in fourth on the list with 759 units of sales. The popular MPV has registered a massive 87% drop in sales compared to May 2019 when it registered 5,631 units of sales. The Toyota Innova Crysta recently received a price hike across its entire variant lineup by up to Rs 61,000 — here are the details.
The premium MPV offering from Maruti Suzuki, the XL6 completed the top-five with 711 units of sales. The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is the premium six-seater version of the Ertiga and is sold exclusively through the brand's NEXA dealerships across the country.
