Three Mahindra models feature in the top 5 most sold seven-seaters in India in 2023; Ertiga and Toyota are the other models
In the 2023 calendar year, the domination of compact and midsize SUV segments should not be underestimated as their market share grew big time. In addition, the reception for the seven-seaters has been impressive across different segments but only the highly popular nameplates have garnered good sales numbers.
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga finished on top of the sales standings in the seven-seater segment as 1,29,968 units were sold as against 1,33,814 units during the same period last year with a YoY negative sales growth of 3 per cent. The largest car producer in the country is currently working on a compact MPV that will be positioned below the Ertiga.
It will compete directly with the Renault Triber and the upcoming Triber based Nissan MPV. It will be based on the Spacia sold in Japan and will arrive in India by 2027. Back to the table, the Mahindra Scorpio range finished in the second position with an appreciable growth of 89 per cent.

The combined sales of Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic stood at 1,21,420 units as against 64,179 units during the same period the previous year. The arrival of the new generation Scorpio N and the updated old Scorpio under the Scorpio Classic banner have worked wonders. Its sibling, the Bolero, finished in the third position with 1,08,319 units.
Compared to the corresponding period in 2022 with 94,332 units, a YoY positive sales growth of 15 per cent was noted.
