SUVs are the most in-demand cars in India. While their smaller alternatives, compact SUVs, have also become quite popular, they have not fully replaced larger SUVs. Every month, SUVs sell in large numbers, and the same was the case in June 2026. On the latest sales chart, the list of top-selling SUVs was almost the same as last month’s; however, there were some interesting updates. For example, the Hyundai Creta recorded some of its worst sales figures in history, and its ranking dropped to eighth. Meanwhile, the Toyota Hyryder outsold its soul- sibling, the Maruti Grand Vitara. Here we list the best-selling SUVs of June 2026, excluding the best-selling compact SUVs, and explain how the Mahindra Scorpio became the best-selling SUV.
Why is the Mahindra Scorpio the Best-Selling SUV in June 2026?
The Mahindra Scorpio is one of a kind and has little competition, especially the Mahindra Scorpio Classic, which is priced at Rs. 13- 17 lakh (ex-showroom). With a legacy of over two decades, the Scorpio Classic has become a status symbol. Like the Mahindra Thar, the Scorpio Classic is the favourite of Folks who want a commanding, butch road presence. In addition, it is one of the few bona fide SUVs based on a ladder-frame chassis. With a high-set driver seat, the Scorpio offers the driver a commanding view of the road ahead – something people expect of an SUV and enjoy in one.
Meanwhile, the Scorpio N is a more capable version of the Scorpio N and one of the best off-road SUVs under Rs. 50 lakh, also attracts large sales volumes. Both Scorpio Classic and Scorpio N collectively sold more than enough units in May 2026 to take the crown of the best-selling SUV from the Hyundai Creta.
