As the auto industry of India slowly looks to set up shop with utility vehicles, MPVs have taken their own share of the sales pie. This is backed by other quarters of FY2026, which begins with the 1st quarter (April to June 2025): this time again, MPVs play a crucial role in overall UV sales, perpetuating the trend started in FY2025.
The top 3 contenders
First on the list is Ertiga by Maruti Suzuki, which has sold 46,071 units, and this is a 6 percent increase YoY. It still remains at the top of the MPV with its value-for-money concept and petrol-CNG dual fuel alternatives.
Second spot was taken up by Toyota Innova (Hycross + Crysta), which sold 25383 units and retained its grip with only a 1 percent growth on a year-on-year basis. The diesel-only Crysta and the hybrid-petrol Hycross still have the fleet and family customers.
Close behind in third, rising exceptionally fast, is the Kia Carens and new Carens Clavis, which are together shifting 17,704 units, a fine 12 per cent increase. With Carens Clavis EV, having received the green light, the traction will only grow.
The others in the List
There was however, a marginal decline of the Marutis XL6 to 9,658 units, declining 4 percent YoY. The luxury sibling to the Ertiga has not been performing that great in this cycle.
Yet another rebadged car, Toyota Rumion, which is the Ertiga in all but name, stormed ahead with a healthy 24 percent steep increase that registered 5,794 units. This goes on to demonstrate how Toyota is also becoming heavy in the mass MPV market.
On the other side, the Triber by Renault registered a 24 percent YoY drop, to the tune of 4,233 units. The brand is looking forward to recovering through the next face targeting this month.
Interestingly, Maruti Invicto with a 34 percent growth, though being a niche premium product, logged the maximum growth number, though with a small base of 688 units sold.
Kia premium Carnival recorded 252 units and ultra-luxury Toyota Vellfire combined 205 units, which was low by 2 percent. The Mahindra Marazzo experienced a YoY decline in the form of 44 percent, with only 27 units at the bottom in which shows the declining relevance of the car in the marketplace.
