Compact SUVs lead Bengaluru’s used-car market due to road conditions, monsoons, stronger resale values and broad buyer demand. Hyundai Creta leads volumes, followed by Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon and Kia Seltos; used EV SUVs may gain share within two to three years.

Why this matters

Creta's used-market lead follows Hyundai's Creta EV launch with battery-as-a-service pricing and Hyundai-Kia plans to launch affordable 400km-plus range EVs in India from mid-2026.
