The car sales in this year were at an all-time low; for obvious reasons. However the overall car sales for May 2020 made for an interesting read as for the first in the history or at least in a very very long time, the best selling car in India was not a Maruti Suzuki car, the title was claimed by none other than the Hyundai Creta. However, there was another interesting discovery in the sub-compact SUV segment, where last month the crown of the best selling sub-compact SUV in India went to the Mahindra XUV300. Yes! this might come to you a shock but finally, it seems that people have understood that it only takes a few extra bucks to get hold of the best.
Last month Mahindra and Mahindra sold 1,257 units of the XUV300 with the Hyundai Venue closely following with 1,242 units last month. So let’s see what makes the Mahindra XUV300 worth buying.
