Maruti's Brezza ranked third in the list and was also the best-selling SUV. Baleno slipped to the fourth spot - probably Maruti is prioritizing Fronx production?
Hyundai's Creta retained the crown as the highest-selling Mid SUV and ranked sixth in the list. However, it was closely followed by Maruti's Grand Vitara which took the 10th spot. The Mid SUV segment has definitely expanded with Maruti's entry and has also garnered positive traction for the Hybrid powertrain.
