The Hyundai Creta has maintained its position as the top-selling SUV in September 2024 with a total sales number of 15902 in the top-selling compact SUVs.

The recently updated Creta Facelift has played a significant role in its success, offering customers a compelling combination of brand recognition and advanced features.

2. Maruti Grand Vitara- 10267 Units

Maruti Grand Vitara has risen to rank with a second spot at the top-selling podium of compact SUVs with 10267 units sold in the month of September alone.

It is currently available with a 1.5L NA petrol mill along with an option for a strong hybrid variant as well. It gets its Toyota twin by the name of Toyota Hyryder, which interestingly, also makes the cut into this list, albeit at a slightly lower spot.
