April 2025 has proved to be the most successful month ever for the Indian automobile industry. A total of 3,48,847 passenger vehicles were sold this month, which shows a year-on-year growth (YoY) of 4 percent compared to last year. Although passenger car sales like hatchbacks, sedans saw a decline of 7 percent and the figure shrunk to 1,14,331 units, a 10 percent increase (2,34,516 units) in the SUV and MPV segment kept the overall sales balanced. This also makes it clear that the demand for SUV and MPV vehicles is constantly increasing in India, which now accounts for 67 percent of the total sales (this share was 63 percent in April last year). Let’s know about the top 10 best-selling cars of April 2025:
Hyundai Creta – 17,016 units (10% annual growth)
Hyundai Creta was the best-selling car in India in April 2025. It registered sales of 17,016 units, which is 10 percent more than last year (15,447 units in April 2024). Although a little more than this i.e. 18,059 units were sold in March 2025, the popularity of Creta remains in the SUV segment. Despite the launch of Creta Electric, there was not much jump in sales, but it can be considered a great start to the financial year 2026.

After selling 15,460 units in March 2025, this month also saw a monthly growth (MoM) of 10 percent. The fourth generation Dzire, launched in November 2024, has attracted a lot of customers.
Maruti Brezza – 16,971 units (1% decline)
Maruti Brezza stood third in the compact SUV segment with 16,971 units. However, this figure was 17,113 units in April last year, which has registered a marginal decline of 1 percent this time. In FY 2025, Brezza stood fourth in UV sales with a total of 1,89,163 units sold.
Maruti Ertiga – 15,780 units (17% YoY growth)
India’s most trusted MPV, Maruti Ertiga once again performed brilliantly with 15,780 units sold. This figure is 17 percent higher than April 2024. Ertiga, which comes in both petrol and CNG options, has topped the MPV segment for the sixth consecutive year.
Mahindra Scorpio – 15,534 units (5% growth)
Mahindra’s Scorpio, which is now available in both Scorpio N and Classic versions, sold 15,534 units in April 2025. This is 5 percent more than last year. Scorpio alone contributed 30 percent of Mahindra’s total SUV sales.
Tata Nexon – 15,457 units (massive growth of 38%)
Tata Motors’ flagship SUV, Nexon, stood at the sixth spot with 15,457 units in April 2025. This figure is 38 percent higher than last year when only 11,168 units were sold. It contributes 34 percent to Tata’s total sales of 45,199 units.
Maruti Swift – 14,592 units (historic growth of 256%)
Maruti Swift has made a great comeback in April 2025. It registered a year-on-year growth of 256 percent with 14,592 units sold. This is because its old generation was being phased out from the market at this time last year and the new generation Swift was launched in May 2024. However, it has declined by 18 percent compared to March 2025.
Maruti Fronx – 14,345 units (steady sales)
Maruti’s premium compact SUV, Fronx, which is sold from Nexa outlets, recorded sales of 14,345 units in April 2025. This is almost stable as compared to last year (14,286 units). This could be an indication that the company is balancing its inventory at dealerships.
Maruti Wagon R – 13,413 units (25% decline)
Maruti’s popular hatchback Wagon R sold 13,413 units in April 2025, down 25 per cent as compared to last year (17,850 units in April 2024). It has also declined 22 per cent on a monthly basis. Although it was the best-selling car in FY2025, the new financial year has started on a slow note.
Maruti Baleno – 13,180 units (6% drop)
Maruti Baleno, which competes with Tata Altroz and Hyundai i20 in the premium hatchback segment, ranked last in the top 10 list with sales of 13,180 units in April 2025. This is 6 percent less than last year, but also shows a growth of 7 percent compared to March 2025.
Conclusion:
April 2025 has made it clear that the SUV and MPV segments are now more popular than passenger cars in the Indian market. 7 vehicles in the top 10 list are from the SUV or MPV category. Maruti Suzuki continues to dominate the list with 7 vehicles, while Hyundai, Mahindra and Tata also performed well. The market may get even more exciting with electric versions and new launches in the coming months.
