Car Sales Report: Automobile desk: Maruti Suzuki's popularity is once again rising in the Indian passenger vehicle market. The new sales figures that have come out for the month of October clearly show that the demand for budget cars and compact vehicles remains strong in the domestic auto market. During this period, Maruti Suzuki's popular hatchback WagonR has won the crown of the country's best selling car by breaking all the sales records. At the same time, the compact SUV Brezza of the same company has also registered a tremendous jump in sales and achieved second position.
If we look at the overall delivery report of vehicle manufacturers in October, Maruti Suzuki has seen a one-sided dominance in the list of top-10 best-selling vehicles. Seven vehicles of Maruti alone have made their place in this list, which proves which brand remains the first choice of customers from entry level hatchback to premium sedan, MPV and compact SUV segments.
Car Sales Report: More than 23 thousand units of Wagon R sold in October
According to the analysis of sales data, a total of 23,747 units of Maruti Suzuki WagonR were delivered last month. If we compare it with the same period last year i.e. the month of October, then the company had sold 18,970 units. In this context, a direct increase of about 25 percent has been recorded in the sales of WagonR on an annual basis. Due to its better mileage, economical maintenance and cabin space, this family car has consistently remained the first choice among Indian families.
Car Sales Report: Brezza came in second place
Maruti Suzuki Brezza has shown the biggest upset in the sales list this time. This compact sub-4 meter SUV of the company registered sales of 22,436 units and secured second position in the top-10 list. Last year, in the same month, Brezza's figure was only 12,087 units. That means this SUV has achieved an impressive growth of 86 percent on an annual basis. Due to this strong performance of Brezza, the segment's arch rival Tata Nexon has slipped to the third position. A total of 21,960 units of Tata Nexon were sold in the month of October, which shows a slight decline of about 1 percent compared to last year.
Car Sales Report: Baleno also did wonders
If we talk about the rest of the top 10 vehicles, then Maruti Suzuki Baleno was at fourth place, whose 20,919 units reached the customers. After this, the company's compact sedan Desire stood at 5th position with sales of 20,649 units. Maruti Ertiga also maintained its strong hold in the 7-seater family car segment and achieved sixth position with the delivery of 20,641 units.
Tata Motors' micro SUV Tata Punch stood at 7th position in the list by registering sales of 20,525 units. Right after this, Maruti Suzuki stood at 8th position with 20,014 units. Hyundai Motors' mid-size SUV Creta stood at 9th position with sales of 19,353 units. At the same time, Maruti's popular hatchback Swift managed to stay at 10th position with sales of 18,866 units, which has seen an increase of 21 percent in annual sales.
It is completely clear from these latest figures of the Indian automobile sector that the competition between different segments in the country's car market has reached a very interesting point. While on one hand 7 different models of Maruti captured the sales table, on the other hand only two vehicles of Tata Motors and one of Hyundai have been successful in maintaining themselves in this race of top-10.
