With an extensive lineup of capable SUVs, Mahindra is the largest SUV manufacturer in India. Since SUVs are the favourite of most buyers today, the Indian carmaker is making the most of this opportune time. Last month, Mahindra sold 50,946 units, emerging as the second-best-selling car brand in India. While its top-sellers were the same as the previous sales chart, their ranking saw an interesting shuffle. In this article, we list the best-selling Mahindra cars in December 2025 and learn what helped the Scorpio to continue as the best-selling Mahindra car.
Why is the Mahindra Scorpio the Best-Selling Mahindra Car in December 2025?
The Mahindra Scorpio is unlike any other car. This is especially true considering its price bracket, where most SUVs are comparatively smaller and built for comfortable family drives, whereas the Scorpio, with its dominant boxy SUV design, possesses a sturdy character. The overall essence of the Mahindra Scorpio is a tough SUV that can easily drive through rough and challenging surfaces but is premium enough to meet some basic modern-day needs, such as an infotainment system, automatic AC, and others. In addition to that, being one of the few ladder-on-frame chassis-based SUVs in India, the Scorpio is a popular choice for those who need a rugged SUV, allowing them to drive without worrying about the quality of roads. This is why Mahindra Scorpios are commonly seen among police fleets and politicians’ convoys.
Another factor that drives Scorpio’s sales is its aura. The Scorpio is more than just an SUV. It is a status symbol. A car that means boldness and indestructibility.
The Scorpio badge has two SUVs. The older one, the Scorpio Classic, has been Mahindra’s second-best-selling car of all time and has etched its name among the most iconic cars in India. The new Scorpio, named Scorpio N, was launched in 2022 and has been a groundbreaking success from day one.
