The sales figures for the compact SUV segment in July 2021 are out. This is officially the most crowded segment in our market. Almost all the major players have their compact SUVs competing in this space. Also, it is one of the fastest-growing segments in India in recent times. People who initially considered a premium hatchback, for instance, now have the option of going for a compact SUV with the latter costing around the same range. The credit for that goes to the likes of Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger. Let us take a look at the individual performances of compact SUVs for July 2021.
