Midsize SUV Sales February 2026:
The midsize SUV space in India continues to be one of the most dynamic and fiercely contested categories in the passenger vehicle market. Over the past few years, this segment has attracted buyers looking for a balanced mix of road presence, modern features, practicality and strong performance. February 2026 sales figures highlight how rapidly this category is evolving, with some established nameplates maintaining their dominance while newer entrants are steadily carving out a significant share of the market. The variety of choices available today, ranging from hybrid-powered urban SUVs to rugged body-on-frame models has created a marketplace where customer preferences are more diverse than ever before.

Leading the pack once again was the Hyundai Creta, which recorded 17,938 units in February 2026. The Creta has long been considered the benchmark in the midsize SUV category thanks to its refined driving experience, wide engine lineup and strong brand recall. It also managed to register a healthy 10 percent year-on-year growth compared to the 16,317 units sold during February 2025. Following closely behind was the Mahindra Scorpio with 14,665 units. The Scorpio range continues to attract buyers who prefer a more rugged and commanding SUV with strong road presence and off-road capability. Its combined sales — which include both the Scorpio N and the Scorpio Classic — grew by around eight percent compared to the 13,618 units sold during the same month last year.
Another noteworthy development in the segment is the emergence of newer players that are rapidly gaining traction. The Maruti Suzuki Victoris secured the third spot with 13,021 units, an impressive performance for a relatively new entrant in the category. The SUV benefits from Maruti Suzuki’s extensive dealership network and its hybrid powertrain options that appeal to buyers seeking improved fuel efficiency. Meanwhile, the Kia Seltos climbed to fourth position with 10,308 units, registering one of the strongest growth rates in the segment. A significant contributor to this surge is the arrival of the latest generation model, which has refreshed the design and technology offerings. Close behind was the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, which more than doubled its sales compared to the same month last year. At the same time, models like the Mahindra XUV 7XO and Tata Sierra have also started appearing in the sales rankings, indicating how competitive the segment has become.
