The sub-compact SUV segment comprises some of the most popular cars in the Indian car market. These cars are so popular that their demand is always there. But in September this segment has seen a huge drop in sales. Though the segment contributed about 18 per cent to the total car sales in the month of September, it has registered a decline of around 20 per cent as compared to the previous month.

At least two new subcompact SUVs have been launched in the country since September last year. Both the Nissan Magnite and the Renault Kiger have done well in the sales charts in the last month, helping the carmakers to end the month on a positive note.
