India’s automobile market continued its upward trend in July 2025, and leading the charge was Mahindra, posting a massive 26% year-on-year growth in passenger vehicle sales. With strong demand for SUVs like the Scorpio-N, Thar, and XUV700, Mahindra dominated the SUV segment. But how did rivals like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Hyundai, and MG Motor perform in comparison? Let’s break down the sales numbers brand by brand.
Mahindra: Strong SUV Sales Power 26% Growth
Mahindra sold over 43,000 passenger vehicles in July 2025, registering a 26% jump compared to July 2024. The company’s consistent growth is driven by its SUV lineup, especially the Scorpio-N, XUV700, and Bolero Neo. The recent launch of the Thar 5-Door and demand for the XUV 3XO further contributed to this record-breaking month.
Maruti Suzuki: Numbers Stable, EV Push Begins
Maruti Suzuki reported sales of approximately 1.52 lakh units, maintaining its market leadership. However, year-on-year growth was flat. Strong performers included the Baleno, Fronx, and Ertiga, while Maruti’s EV debut with the eVX generated buzz, though deliveries are yet to ramp up. Hatchbacks continued to face pressure from SUV preferences.
Tata Motors: Nexon, Punch Drive Sales Momentum
Tata Motors sold 47,800 units in July 2025, showing moderate growth of 6% year-on-year. Models like the Punch EV, Nexon, and Altroz Racer saw steady traction. However, supply chain constraints impacted the delivery of the Harrier EV and Curvv, both of which saw strong booking numbers post launch.
Hyundai: Creta and Exter Lead, New Launches Incoming
Hyundai India sold 51,100 units in July, up by 3% over the same month last year. The Creta, Exter, and Venue remained the top performers, while the premium Tucson and Ioniq 5 posted stable numbers. Anticipation is building around the upcoming Hyundai Alcazar facelift and Creta EV, which may boost sales in the next quarter.
MG Motor: Slight Dip Ahead of New Launches
MG Motor sold around 4,600 units in July 2025, marking a 4% decline year-on-year. The Comet EV and Astor continue to be the brand’s volume drivers. However, limited updates and delays in launching new models like the MG Cloud EV have led to slower sales. MG is expected to bounce back with new launches in the festive season.
Conclusion: Mahindra emerged as the biggest winner in July 2025 with a solid 26% growth, thanks to its strong SUV lineup. While Maruti and Hyundai held their positions, Tata showed steady gains, and MG saw a minor dip. The coming months look promising with new launches and festive demand expected to further boost industry momentum.
