Hyundai becomes #1 UV Car

With the ongoing pandemic taking its control in India, the car sales have gone down drastically. But even at such times, the popularity of SUVs have been constant. With SUVs like Creta, Tucson, Kona Electric and Venue, Hyundai has become number one utility manufacturer in India for March 2020.

The crowd favorites, Creta and venue have sold most of the models making them mostly responsible for the success of Hyundai. Hyundai manages to sell only 26,300 units for March 2020 which includes a total sale of 6,706 of Creta alone. With venues selling over 6127 units, Hyundai managed to owe almost half its sales to these two SUVs. Hyundai did face a loss of -40.70% compared to March 2019. But considering the current scenario, Hyundai is at a good place with such numbers. All other carmakers have registered YoY loss for March 2020.


The second-gen Creta that was rolled out recently has proven true to its previous popularity. In the charts, Creta is ranked 6th beating Tata Harrier, MG Hector, Mahindra XUV500 and others. The venue has been in the spotlight as well, with its best-in-class features as well as internet connected smart features has gained the car the right to be at the top, ranking 7th best selling car for March 2020.

Here are the sales of some of the most popular utility vehicles for March 2020:
