The Indian automotive industry has experienced an eventful past few months. But amongst these new launches and facelifts, who can take the crown for the best-selling car in India? Let’s find out.
Attention Readers! Join us on Whatsapp Community for daily auto news updates.
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R
The WagonR has consistently made the list of best-selling cars in India since its launch in the early 2000s. And it is still going strong, as it sold 14,885 units. In fact, it is the only hatchback to make this list. It makes this list despite selling 233 fewer units than in January
The reason for such a consistent demand is the Value-for-money factor. It is priced between Rs 5.85 Lakh and Rs 8.50 Lakh (on-road, Mumbai). At this price, you get all the basic amenities, such as 6 airbags, a reverse parking screen, and a 7-inch infotainment screen, along with practical interiors and a fuel-efficient 1.2-litre engine.

Top 7 Cars – Maruti Suzuki Eritga
India loves a practical 7-seater MPV, and the Ertiga fits that criteria. This is evident from its sales, which totalled 17,807 units. Like with the WagonR, it also gets the sales boost due to its popularity as a fleet vehicle.
The feature list is pretty basic and includes a rear parking camera, electronically adjustable ORVMs, and cruise control. But the Ertiga’s main USP is its practicality and fuel efficiency. The Ertiga is priced between 10.30 Lakh and Rs 15.33 Lakh (on-road, Mumbai), which seems a fair price for such a practical 7-seater.

With so many new launches, you would expect the sales of the Creta to fall off drastically, but you would be wrong. It experienced a minor rise in demand of around 17 units over January sales. Hyundai sold 17,938 units of the Creta last month, including EV sales.
