The Creta for long has been the best-selling SUV despite new competition though the Grand Vitara has increased its share over time. After the Grand Vitara, it is the Kia Seltos and the Mahindra Scorpio N which come in next at 8,012 and 6,950 units. The Scorpio N is the most expensive SUV which features amongst the highest-selling SUVs in India and the N version has indeed increased its popularity.
