Mahindra’s Scorpio SUV to top 7-seater segment sales charts in September 2025
The demand for 7-seater cars is continuously increasing in the Indian market. Now more people are preferring such cars which can provide the facility to travel comfortably with the entire family or a large group. Because of this, the list of 7-seater cars is also getting longer day by day. The recent reduction in GST rates by the government has also led to a decline in the prices of these cars, which has brought relief to the buyers and the sales of this segment are expected to increase further.
Last month, Mahindra Scorpio (Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic) has been the best selling 7-seater car in the Indian market. With 18,372 units, the SUV has registered a growth of 27 per cent year-on-year, leaving the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga behind. This shows the increasing demand for Mahindra SUVs.
Ertiga MPV stood second with sales of 12,115 units. Compared to 17,441 units in September 2024, it has registered an annual decline of 31 percent. Toyota retained the third position in the 7-seater segment with the popular Innova (Innova Hycross and Innova Crysta), with sales of 9,783 units in September 2025. Its sales have increased by 21 percent on an annual basis.
