Last year (2016), Brezza, Creta and Celerio were sold less than 1 Lakh units, however Kwid sold over 1 Lakh units.

P.S.: In 2016, Brezza was launched only in Mar 2016, so the total of 85,168 units were over 10 months.

Maruti Suzuki challenges the current Utility vehicle leader Mahindra & Mahindra. Now is set to take the crown for this segment in FY18.

Maruti Suzuki sold 230,995 utility vehicles in the first 11 months of the current fiscal year, whereas Mahindra’s sales were 209,322 units

the automaker held a 28% market share for utility vehicles for the April-January period of the fiscal year. While that is a significant jump from just 7% five years ago, helping the company also cross the 50% mark in India’s passenger vehicle market, Mahindra lost as much as 30 percentage points in its UV market share that fell to 25% from 55%.

Maruti expanded its market share, riding the success of utility vehicles like the Vitara Brezza and S Cross, even as Mahindra saw an erosion in its position as recent offerings from the maker of the Scorpio and XUV 5OO didn’t get the kind of buyer response that it had hoped for.

Mahindra is set to launch multiple vehicles on as many as three new platforms in the coming months. and the company was confident of wresting back the leadership next fiscal year on the back of these launches.

Maruti Suzuki too has the New Ertiga to take on the fight. Interesting times in this keenly fought segment.
