The Indian automotive market in June 2025 showcased a dynamic shift in consumer preferences, with SUVs continuing to dominate the sales charts. According to recent data, Hyundai Creta reclaimed its position as the best-selling car in India, overtaking the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. Maruti Suzuki, however, maintained its stronghold with six models in the top 10, while Hyundai, Mahindra, and Tata each secured a spot.

Market Trends and Insights
June 2025 saw a total of 3.17 lakh passenger cars dispatched, reflecting healthy demand despite a 7.10% YoY decline in SUV sales (1,38,882 units compared to 1,49,501 units in June 2024). The dominance of SUVs and MPVs, with six of the top 10 models belonging to these segments, underscores India’s growing preference for vehicles with high ground clearance and practicality. Maruti Suzuki’s strong presence with six models highlights its market leadership, while Hyundai, Mahindra, and Tata continue to challenge with feature-rich offerings.
However, the market showed signs of strain, with no model crossing the 16,000-unit mark, compared to Tata Punch’s 18,084 units in June 2024. This suggests a potential slowdown in demand, possibly due to shifting consumer behavior or economic factors. The Creta’s lead, bolstered by its electric variant, indicates a growing interest in electrified vehicles, while the decline in sales for models like the Punch and Swift points to increased competition and changing preferences.
The June 2025 sales charts reflect a competitive and evolving Indian automotive market, with the Hyundai Creta leading the way, followed closely by Maruti Suzuki’s diverse lineup. The strong performance of SUVs and MPVs, alongside the presence of a single sedan (Dzire), highlights the market’s shift toward utility vehicles. As automakers navigate challenges like declining YoY sales and economic pressures, the introduction of electric variants and feature-packed models will likely shape future trends. Stay tuned for more updates on India’s automotive landscape as we head into the second half of 2025.
