10 bestselling MPVs in Q1 FY2026: Ertiga continues to lead Innova, Carens

MPVs and SUVs are the growth drivers for the Indian auto industry, as sales of hatchbacks and sedans continue to slow down. In the last fiscal year (FY2025), MPVs accounted for around 11 percent of India’s utility vehicle (UV) record sales of 27.9 lakh units and even outsold sedans. Based on wholesale numbers, the trend seems to be continuing in the first quarter of FY2026 (April-June). Here’s a quick look at the 10 best-selling MPVs in the quarter.

1. Maruti Ertiga

46,071 units, up 6 percent

The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, which was in the No. 1 position for the past six fiscals, continues to win over buyers. Available with petrol and CNG powertrains, the Ertiga has sold 46,071 units in the first three months of this fiscal, up 6 percent YoY (Q1 FY2025: 43,339 units).

2. Toyota Innova Hycross/Crysta

25,383 units, up 1 percent

The Innova brand – Toyota’s best-seller – has sold 25,383 units, up 1 percent YoY (Q1 FY2025: 25,063 units). This total is 22 percent of the Innova’s sales of 1,07,204 units in FY2025, comprising 62,794 Hycross and 44,410 Crysta units. While the Innova Crysta is a diesel-only model, the Hycross comes with petrol and hybrid powertrain options.

3. Kia Carens and Carens Clavis

17,704 units, up 12 percent

The Kia Carens has, since May 2025, been joined by the Carens Clavis, a more upmarket sibling, which has helped improve sales of this MPV. Kia despatched 5,259 units on, compared to 7,921 units in June 2025. In FY2025, the Carens had sold 64,609 units (up 2.3 percent), which means its Q1 FY2026 sales are 27 percent of last fiscal. As prices for Kia Carens Clavis EV will be announced tomorrow, there may be a further uptick in sales for this month.

4. Maruti XL6

9,658 units, down 4 percent

The Maruti XL6 is the premium avatar of the Ertiga, sold via the brand’s Nexa dealerships network. It is powered by the same 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine as in the Ertiga and offers the same automatic and manual gearbox options. However, while the Ertiga maintains its strong showing at the top of the Top 10 MPVs, the XL6’s Q1 FY2026 wholesales at 9,658 units are down 4 percent YoY (Q1 FY2024: 10,073 units). In FY2025, the XL6 had sold 37,111 units, down 18 percent YoY.

5. Toyota Rumion

5,794 units, up 24 percent

The Rumion MPV is one of Toyota Kirloskar Motor’s successful products in the past two years. Since its launch in August 2023, Toyota’s Maruti Ertiga-based MPV has made its presence felt in the affordable MPV market and currently ranks fifth on the top 10 list. Between and June 2025, the Rumion sold an estimated 5,794 units, which is a handsome 24 percent YoY increase (Q1 FY2026: 4,677 units) and is 26 percent of its FY2025 wholesales.

6. Renault Triber

4,233 units, down 24 percent

The seven-seater Triber, which offers MPV versatility for hatchback money, continues to see a decline in its sales. The Renault MPV’s sales in Q1 FY2026 at 4,253 units are down by a sizeable 24 percent YoY (Q1 FY2024: 5,587 units). In FY2025, the Triber had sold 19,905 units, down 11 percent year on year. Prices for the Renault Triber facelift will be announced on July 23.

7. Maruti Invicto

688 units, up 34 percent

The Maruti Invicto, which is produced by Toyota for Maruti under the global Suzuki-Toyota alliance, has sold 688 units in the April-June 2025 period, up 34 percent YoY (Q1 FY2024: 514 units). In FY2025, the Invicto had sold 4,036 units, down 12 percent YoY (FY2024: 4,599 units).

8. Kia Carnival

252 units

Launched in October 2024, the Kia Carnival (Limousine) builds on the legacy of its predecessor, while offering enhanced features aimed at redefining passenger comfort. Notwithstanding the high sticker price, the Carnival has sold 252 units in the first three months of FY2026 and is believed to be sold out for this year. The Carnival's Q1 FY2026 sales comprise 18.51 percent of the 1,361 units sold in the last six months of FY2025.

9. Toyota Vellfire

205 units, down 2 percent

Proof that even a very high sticker price for an MPV cannot dissuade buyers is the ultra-luxurious Toyota Vellfire. Toyota’s XXL-sized MPV has sold 205 units in April-June 2025, down 2 percent YoY (Q1 FY2025: 209 units). It may be recollected that the Toyota Vellfire sold 1,155 units in FY2025 – 755 additional units than FY2024’s 400 units and handsome 189 percent YoY growth. The surging domestic market demand for the Vellfire has likely led to JSW MG Motor India announcing its entry into the luxury MPV market with its all-electric M9. 

10. Mahindra Marazzo

27 units, down 44 percent

The Marazzo is the sole MPV in Mahindra raft of SUVs. In the April-June 2025 quarter, the diesel-engined Marazzo has sold only 27 units comprising 6 units in April, 4 units in May and 17 units in June. All of June’s 17 units are from the company’s FY2025 inventory because Mahindra has not produced any Marazzos from its factory in the past three months.
