Conclusion

As of April 2025, the compact SUV market remains a hive of competition and demand throughout India. While models like the Honda Elevate, Kia Seltos, and Volkswagen Taigun are available quite easily in most cities, others, particularly the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, are accompanied by long waiting periods — reaching as high as 10 months in Ghaziabad.

For customers who need faster delivery, models such as the Honda Elevate, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara are the most available. Conversely, those who insist on the Hyryder or Tata Curvv must be ready to wait for longer periods, depending on their location.

With waiting periods ranging widely from city to city, potential shoppers are encouraged to call local dealerships for the most up-to-date timelines. Flexibility of model or location could be just what it takes to drive away in your new SUV sooner.
