Škoda Auto India ended December 2025 with a sharply split performance that highlights the brand’s current transition phase in India. While the newly introduced Kylaq emerged as a clear volume driver and stabilising force, Škoda’s older mainstream models—Kushaq and Slavia—continued to face pressure both year-on-year (YoY) and month-on-month (MoM). December, traditionally a consolidation month after […]

Kia Motor India closed December 2025 with a performance that clearly reflects post-festive demand normalisation rather than a loss of relevance. While month-on-month (MoM) numbers softened sharply across its core models, year-on-year (YoY) growth remained robust, highlighting how much Kia’s base has expanded compared to December 2024. December also underlined Kia’s biggest strength—and challenge: a

Hyundai Motor India wrapped up December 2025 with a performance that clearly reflects post-festive normalisation rather than structural weakness. After strong retail traction through October and November—driven by festive demand and GST 2.0-led pricing clarity—December saw month-on-month (MoM) corrections across most models, while year-on-year (YoY) trends remained broadly stable. Hyundai’s December numbers underline a familiar

Tata Motors closed December 2025 with a performance that clearly reflects post-festive normalisation rather than demand erosion. After strong retail momentum in October and November—boosted by GST 2.0 benefits and festive buying—December showed a predictable cooling across most models, while still delivering healthy year-on-year (YoY) growth in Tata’s core nameplates. The month reaffirmed three realities

Mahindra closed December 2025 with a sharply polarised performance. On one hand, its traditional SUV strongholds—Scorpio, Bolero and Thar—remained resilient, reinforcing Mahindra’s dominance in rugged, body-on-frame utility vehicles. On the other, mainstream monocoque products such as XUV700 and XUV400 saw dramatic corrections, while Mahindra’s new-generation electric and lifestyle platforms quietly gathered momentum. December, traditionally a

Maruti Suzuki wrapped up December 2025 with a robust and telling performance, underlining how decisively India’s largest carmaker has adapted to the post–GST 2.0 environment. If November reflected festive tailwinds and rural recovery, December showcased structural strength—particularly in premium hatchbacks and sub-4-metre SUVs—while also revealing where demand has begun to normalise after a long festive

December 2025 rewrote the traditional rulebook for India’s passenger vehicle market. Historically, December has been a year-end plateau month—driven by discount seekers, inventory clearance, and cautious buyers delaying purchases to avoid year-change depreciation. But December 2025 behaved very differently. Instead of cooling off after October’s festive peak and November’s stabilisation, the market accelerated again, proving

Toyota Kirloskar Motor’s November 2025 sales performance reflects a familiar industry-wide pattern — strong year-on-year growth across several models, tempered by a clear month-on-month slowdown after October’s festive peak. The numbers underline Toyota’s growing dependence on hybrids and MPVs, even as some traditional SUV nameplates face pressure in an increasingly crowded market. What stands out,

Kia India’s November 2025 sales numbers reflect a familiar pattern seen across the industry — a clear post-festive cooldown combined with strategic buyer hesitation ahead of major new launches. While Kia’s core models like the Sonet, Carens, and Seltos continued to post healthy year-on-year growth, most of the lineup witnessed month-on-month declines as October’s festive
