Toyota Dec 2025 Sales Analysis – Innova, Glanza, Fortuner, Hyryder, Taisor

GaadiWaadi -

Toyota recorded total domestic sales of 34,159 units with a 37 per cent year-on-year growth as Innova led the way ahead of Hyryder and Glanza

Toyota Kirloskar Motor completed the final month of 2025 on a strong note recording total domestic sales of 34,159 units with a 37 per cent year-on-year growth compared to 24,887 units in December 2024. The performance also indicates a healthy 14 per cent month-on-month increase over November 2025 with good demand across MPVs, SUVs and premium offerings.

Heading the pack was the Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross duo which together posted 9,901 units in December 2025 – representing a modest 2 per cent YoY growth but more importantly, a 7 per cent MoM rise. Appreciable fleet demand, family buyers and the popularity of the hybrid powertrain continue to keep the Innova portfolio Toyota’s biggest volume contributor.

The Urban Cruiser Hyryder emerged as Toyota’s second-best seller for the month with 7,022 units – reporting an impressive 47 per cent YoY jump. While sales dipped 5 per cent compared to November, the overall annual growth shows increasing acceptance of strong hybrid technology and growing midsize SUV demand across different market places.

Top 10 Midsize SUVs Dec 2025 – Scorpio, Creta, Victoris, Harrier, Elevate, Taigun

GaadiWaadi -

The list of top 10 midsize SUVs in December 2025 saw Mahindra Scorpio leading Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder and Victoris

The midsize SUV segment remained one of the most competitive categories in the domestic PV market in December 2025. Sales data shows an apparent split between strong volume leaders, steady performers and models facing declines due to competition and lifecycle factors. The year-on-year numbers reveal where demand is accelerating and where it is beginning to ease off a bit.

At the top, the Mahindra Scorpio dominates with 15,885 units adding nearly 3,700 more sales than last December. A 30 per cent jump indicates sustained demand helped by good acceptance of the Scorpio N and steady dispatches of the Classic variant as the Scorpio range manages to outsell Hyundai Creta in the final month of the year.

The Hyundai Creta holds second place with 13,154 units. Growth is limited to four per cent but the key takeaway is consistency. Even in an increasingly crowded segment, the Creta maintains high monthly volumes and it long led the segment on a monthly basis in CY 2025. In third, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara records 8,597 units – improving by 21 per cent year-on-year.

1. Mahindra Scorpio	15,885	12,195	30%
2. Hyundai Creta	13,154	12,608	4%
3. Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara	8,597	7,093	21%
4. Toyota Hyryder	7,022	4,770	47%
5. Maruti Suzuki Victoris	6,210	–	0%

7. Tata Harrier	2,378	1,307	82%
8. Honda Elevate	2,289	2,334	-2%
9. Volkswagen Taigun	1,778	2,335	-24%
10. Tata Safari	1,446	1,385	4%

The growth comes largely from better traction for the strong hybrid variants and better supply stability. The Toyota Hyryder mirrors this trend even more tellingly – jumping 47 per cent to 7,022 units – making it one of the fastest-growing midsize SUVs in December. The Maruti Suzuki Victoris makes a strong impression in its early sales phase with 6,210 units.

The Victoris is retailed through the regular Arena dealerships and it has been gauging interest from consumers across the country since debut. Among the next set, the Kia Seltos posts a notable 54 per cent rise – reaching 4,369 units. Complemented by the arrival of the new generation, its volume sales will only grow in the coming months.

4 Brand New SUVs Launching In India In The Next 2 Months

GaadiWaadi -

This article lists the four brand new ICE-powered SUVs which are all set to launch in the next couple of months in the Indian market

The new year has begun on a fantastic note for the Indian automobile industry. Four major SUVs namely new-gen Kia Seltos, Mahindra XUV 7XO, Mahindra XUV 3XO EV, and petrol derivatives of Tata Harrier & Safari have already been launched and we are just in the second week of 2026. The next couple of months are going to be even bigger for the four-wheeler industry as multiple new SUV models are ready to hit the Indian market. In this piece, we will talk in detail about the 4 upcoming brand new ICE SUVs launching in the next 2 months in the Indian market.

1. Renault Duster

The new-gen Duster will finally break cover on January 26 to mark its highly anticipated return in the Indian market after a big gap of four years. Recently, the company released the first teaser video of the SUV with claims that it has been tested for 1 million+ km across three continents. The new-gen Duster appears to be way more advanced, premium and upmarket than the discontinued model in 2022.

The new-gen Duster will debut Level 2 ADAS tech for the brand in India. It is also likely to feature a panoramic sunroof. Underpinning the heavy localised version of the CMF-B architecture, the SUV is expected to come with 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 7-inch digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging and 6 airbags. It will be powered by a 1.3L turbocharged petrol engine with top power of 154 bhp with manual and auto gearbox options.

2. Nissan Tekton

The all-new Tekton SUV, based on the new-gen Renault Duster, will be unveiled on Feb 4 in India. Though sales will only start by mid 2026 in the Indian market. The term ‘Tekton’ stands for “craftsman” or “architect” in Greek language. The SUV flaunts connected LED headlamp and tail-lamp setup, which is inspired by the brand’s flagship Patrol SUV. It will also get pull-type door handles, multi-spoke alloy wheels and silver-finished roof rails.

Inside the cabin, Nissan Tekton dashboard will come in a three-tone finish. A few notable features onboard the SUV include sunroof, automatic climate control and wireless phone charger. While the base variants of the Tekton are likely to be equipped with Magnite’s 1.0L petrol engine, albeit with a slight power bump, the mid and top-spec trims will share the 1.3L turbocharged petrol engine with the Renault Duster.

3. Volkswagen Tayron

Volkswagen India has confirmed the debut of the Tayron 7-seater SUV in R-Line trim on Jan 28 in the country. Slated to go on sale in and around March 2026, the German brand’s new flagship SUV will be locally assembled at the brand’s factory in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

Volkswagen Tayron shares platform and engine with the Tiguan R-Line while boasting of a few India-specific visual tweaks such as the inclusion of 19-inch alloy wheels in place of the global-spec model’s 17-inch units. It will be packed with a 2.0L petrol mill which belts out 201 bhp and 320 Nm. The engine will be linked to a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission and 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system.

4. MG Majestor

MG Majestor is likely to launch on February 12 in the Indian market. Derived from the China-spec Maxus D90, it will be positioned above the Gloster SUV in the British brand’s portfolio. The brand’s new flagship model was unveiled at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Recently, the Majestor was spotted undisguised at a dealer yard in India.

Upcoming Majestor

MG Motor India has also sent out a ‘Block Your Date’ invite for Feb 12 & 13, and hence we believe that the SUV will be launched on these days. Measuring over 5 metres in length, it will house the same 2.0L diesel engine in single and twin turbo choices with power of 159 bhp and 213 bhp, respectively. The SUV will directly rival Toyota Fortuner, Volkswagen Tayron and Skoda Kodiaq in the domestic market.

2 New Creta EV Rivals Coming This Month – From Toyota & Maruti

GaadiWaadi -

Manufactured in Hansalpur, Gujarat, the first EVs from Maruti Suzuki and Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) are already on sale in European markets

Maruti Suzuki and its long-term strategic partner, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM), are all set to foray into EVs. Both Indo-Japanese joint ventures plan to launch a premium SUV as their first electric model.

Nearly a year ago at Auto Expo 2025, Maruti Suzuki unveiled the e Vitara, and that’s the model it plans to launch as its first EV. The company has already been exporting the e Vitara for several months now and recently held the car’s media drive in India, albeit without revealing a lot of key details.

The e Vitara is 4,275 mm long, 1,800 mm wide, and 1,640 mm tall, and has a 2,700 mm wheelbase. It will only be available in front-wheel drive, with a choice of two motors and two battery packs. The base variant’s motor will produce 105.8 kW (142 hp) and 192.5 Nm of torque and will be powered by a 49 kWh LFP battery pack.

The top variant’s motor will develop 128 kW (172 hp) and 192.5 Nm of torque and rely on a 61 kWh LFP battery pack. Maruti Suzuki has revealed 543 kilometres as the official range of this configuration. It has also confirmed features like 18-inch alloy wheels, a 10-way power driver’s seat, a 40:20:40-split sliding and reclining rear seat, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and seven airbags.

On 19 January, TKM will introduce the Toyota Urban Cruiser, a model already on sale internationally. The Urban Cruiser is a corporate cousin of Maruti Suzuki’s e Vitara, differentiated mainly by a hammerhead shark-inspired front end that looks much cleaner and classier.

The Urban Cruiser features a flatter and slightly shorter bonnet, sleek headlamps, and a visibly shorter functional grille. Vertical side air inlets in the bumper project confidence in a subtle manner. Compared to the e Vitara, a visibly larger area of the Urban Cruiser is covered by smooth panels for a more elegant styling.

Elsewhere, save for distinctive alloy wheels and different branding, the Urban Cruiser’s exterior is completely identical to the e Vitara. The interior is even more similar, with Toyota-specific branding being the only key difference. TKM will likely launch the e Urban Cruiser with the same battery packs and motors as Maruti Suzuki’s e Vitara, which should mean the same maximum range of 543 kilometres.

Volkswagen To Launch Soon New Big SUV To Rival Toyota Fortuner

GaadiWaadi -

The upcoming Volkswagen Tayron 7-seater SUV will be offered in its sporty R-Line guise, and its launch is confirmed for Q1 2026

Volkswagen India is ready to launch a new full-size 7-seater SUV in the Indian market. The company recently shared a small teaser video, revealing that its upcoming SUV will be none other than the Tayron. Once launched, it will sit above the existing Tiguan R-Line in the brand’s line-up.

The Tayron will be the German carmaker’s new flagship model, directly rivalling the likes of the segment leader, the Toyota Fortuner. In addition to this, it will go up against the likes of the Skoda Kodiaq, MG Gloster and Jeep Meridian.

The Tayron is essentially the 7-seater version of the Tiguan, and it has been on sale in several global markets since 2024. It serves as a replacement for the Tiguan AllSpace and was launched in China first, followed by European markets.

Talking about the dimensions, the Tayron measure 4,770 mm long with a wheelbase of 2,791 mm, leveraging ample space for second and third row passengers, as well as a boot space of 345 litres (all 3 rows up). In terms of design, the Tayron resembles the Tiguan to some extent, with some distinctive elements like a set of sleek dual-pod LED headlamps with a full-width LED light strip. Moreover, we can also spot the illuminated Volkswagen logo at the front and rear in the teaser video.

Towards the rear, the SUV gets a connected tail lamp setup, albeit with a different lighting setup compared to the Tiguan. The Tayron will likely feature 19-inch alloy wheels, similar to what we get on the Tiguan R-Line. As the India-spec model will come in the R-Line guise, we can expect some sporty gloss black and red detailing inside and out.

Inside the cabin, the international-spec Tayron features a large 15-inch infotainment system, a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster, along with features like a 3-zone climate control system, ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, ADAS and a premium Harmon Kardon audio system.

Based on the MQB EVO platform, the Volkswagen Tayron will be powered by the familiar 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine, putting out 204 hp and 320 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 7-speed DSG gearbox, and there will likely be Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive (AWD) system on offer.

Although there are several powertrain options on offer internationally, including mild-hybrid (eTSI), plug-in hybrid (e-Hybrid) and turbo-charged diesel (TDI), we will only get the regular TSI motor in the Indian market. The Volkswagen Tayron will be sold in the Indian market via the CKD route, and we expect it to be priced around Rs. 45-50 lakh (ex-showroom).

MG, Nissan And Volkswagen To Launch New Premium SUVs By March

GaadiWaadi -

A wave of new premium SUVs priced from 10-45 lakh rupees (ex-showroom) coming to the Indian market in the next two months

India has seen a surge of premium SUV launches recently, including the all-new Tata Sierra, the all-new Kia Seltos, the new MG Hector, and the Mahindra XUV 7XO. The momentum will continue, as MG rolls out another model soon, followed by new launches from Nissan and Volkswagen by March.

1. MG Majestor

JSW MG Motor is expected to launch the MG Majestor next month, the new ladder-frame three-row SUV it unveiled at the Auto Expo 2025. The Majestor is a facelifted version of the Gloster, but the use of a new name indicates the company may continue selling the old model alongside. It features a noticeably different exterior with changes like a more aggressive grille, split headlamps, and more prominent skid plates.

Upcoming Majestor

The interior of Majestor has been designed to look more high-tech, with a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system being the key changes. New comfort features and driver assistance technologies are also expected, but any mechanical changes are unlikely.

2. Nissan Tekton

Nissan has developed a new Hyundai Creta rival based on the CMF-B LS platform, called Tekton, and it will unveil the model on 4 February. This model will be a mechanical cousin of the third-gen Renault Duster that will be unveiled on 26 January. The Terrano successor will feature a sharper and more upmarket exterior inspired by the Patrol. The headlamps, grilles, bumpers, and 18-inch alloy wheels will carry a more upmarket look compared to the Renault model.

Nissan Tekton

Inside, the Nissan Tekton will likely feature the same layout as the Renault Duster, with changes limited to the materials, colour schemes, decorative elements, and branding. Nissan may launch the Tekton with 1.0- and 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engines in March and roll out a hybrid system a year later.

3. VW Tayron

The VW Tayron, the corporate cousin of the Skoda Kodiaq, will debut later this month and likely be launched in February. It is 4.8 metres long, 1.9 metres wide, and 1.7 metres tall, and it has a 2.8-metre wheelbase. It is made in five- and seven-seat versions, and both are expected to be offered in India, although the latter could be the priority for Volkswagen.

Volkswagen will likely launch the Tayron with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that produces 150 kW (201 hp) and 320 Nm of torque, a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and a permanent all-wheel drive system as standard. 18-inch alloy wheels, a kick-activated tailgate, front seats with a massage function, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system will likely be among the key features of the Tayron in India.
