Maruti Ertiga
1,90,974 units sold, up 28 percent
Maruti Suzuki India’s first crack at the MPV segment continues to win over buyers, and has been India’s No. 1 MPV for the past 6 fiscal years. In FY2025, the Maruti Ertigawhich is sold with petrol and CNG powertrains, sold 1,90,974 units, up 28 percent YoY (FY2024: 1,49,757 units). This is its best-ever fiscal year performance, making it the best-selling utility vehicle for Maruti Suzuki and India’s fourth best-selling car in FY2025 after the Maruti Wagon R, Tata Punch and the Hyundai Creta.
Year-on-year, the Ertiga sold an additional 41,217 units in FY2025, which speaks volumes for the demand this popular family mover continues to command. In FY2025, Maruti Suzuki sold 7.20,186 UVsup 11 percent YoY (FY2024: 6,42,296 UVs) with the Ertiga accounting for 26 percent of that total. In fact, it missed out on being the company’s No. 1 passenger vehicle model by just 7,477 units with the Maruti Wagon R (1,98,451 units) winning that accolade.
Toyota Innova Hycross and Crysta
1,07,204 units sold, up 9 percent
The Innova MPV – Toyota Kirloskar Motor’s best-selling product – sold 1,07,204 units, up 9 percent YoY (FY2024: 98,180 units). Sold in Innova Crysta and Hycross forms, customer demand for the hybrid Innova Hycross has been particularly strong, which has helped accelerate sales for this popular people transporter.
Toyota India hit its best-ever sales in FY2025 – 3,09,000-plus units – and the Innova has been a key growth driver, along with the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Fortuner SUVS, Taisor compact SUV and the Rumion MPV.
Kia Carens
64,609 units sold, up 2 percent
The high-on-space and comfort Kia Carens MPV, with FY2025 wholesales of 64,609 units, has posted marginal growth of 2 percent YoY (FY2024: 63,167 units, -10 percent). The Carens’ best fiscal was FY2023 when it sold 70,314 units. In early February 2025, the versatile and spacious MPV drove past the cumulative sales milestone of 2 lakh units in the domestic market, 36 months after launch.
The Carens is targeted at large families scouting for a premium, spacious cabin as well as day-to-day practicality, and a choice of multiple powertrains. It is likely that the somewhat slower sales of the model this year were due to the news that there is a Newas well as an electric Carensslated for launch later this year.
Maruti XL6
37,111 units sold, down 18 percent
The Maruti XL6 is the premium, 6-seat avatar of the popular Ertiga. It is powered by the same 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine and offers the same automatic and manual gearbox options. However, while the Ertiga has hit its best-ever sales, the XL6’s numbers are down 18 percent YoY to 37,111 units in FY2025.
Toyota Rumion
21,878 units sold, up 266 percent
The Toyota Rumion MPV is one of the Japanese brand’s most successful products in the past two years. Since its launch in August 2023, the sensible, no-nonsense Ertiga-based people-mover – which is among the four rebadged Maruti Suzuki models in Toyota’s portfolio – has made its presence felt in the affordable MPV market. Case in point is the 21,878 units sold in FY2025, up 266 percent YoY on a low year-ago base of 5,973 units,
Renault Triber
19,905 units sold, down 11 percent
The sub-4m, 7-seat Renault Triber – which offers MPV-like versatility for hatchback money and size – continued to see a decline in its sales. Renault sold 19,905 Tribers in FY2025, which is an 11 percent YoY decrease. What doesn’t help drive sales is the meek 72hp, 96Nm, 1.0-litre petrol engine – a CNG version arrived in February – that comes paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. The Triber facelift has been spied testing and is expected to to launch later this year.
Maruti invisto
4,036 units sold, down 12 percent
The Maruti invistowhich is produced by Toyota for Maruti, sold 4,036 units in FY2025, down 12 percent YoY (FY2024: 4,599 units). Maruti had launched the Invicto in July 2023, and the MPV’s total sales over the 21-month period are 8,634 units. Like the Innova Hycross, the Invicto is big on space, comfort and features, though unlike the Toyota, it is only sold with a strong hybrid engine, which delivers impressive fuel economy.
Kia Carnival
1,361 units sold
Launched in October 2024, the Kia Carnival builds on the legacy of its predecessor, while offering enhanced features aimed at redefining passenger comfort. Notwithstanding the high sticker price of Rs 63.91 lakh, the Carnival has sold 1,361 units in the last six months of FY2025. The large diesel-engined MPV scores high on comfort and flexibility and goes all out to pamper its occupants to the hilt.
Toyota Vellfire
1,155 units sold, up 189 percent
Proof that even a very high sticker price for an MPV cannot dissuade buyers is the ultra-luxurious Toyota Vellfire. Priced between Rs 1.22-1.33 crore, the XL-sized MPV has sold 1,155 units – 755 additional units than FY2024’s 400 units, registering a whopping 189 percent growth.
The Vellfire boasts a cavernous cabin that’s home to some of the best seats. A sister product to the more luxuriously appointed Lexus LM, the Vellfire is powered by a 193hp, 240Nm, 2.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine combined with a 182hp electric motor. The hybrid system delivers a max power of 250hp and is paired with an e-CVT; our Vellfire review tells you what it’s like to drive and be driven in.
