Top 10 cars in India: SUVs now best-selling body type, outnumber hatchbacks

The car market has been in a slump for quite a while after the Covid-19 pandemic. However, things are changing. The auto market reported a growth in sales numbers owing to the smooth supply of raw materials and the festive season. A lot of this growth can be credited to the new car models in India that have been attracting consumers. Among a swarm of such models, we have compiled a list of the top 10 best-selling models in India. The list comprises names like Maruti Suzuki Alto, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, and more.

The top 10 best-selling models used to have all the names of the hatchbacks in India. But the dynamics in India are changing. The focus of consumers is changing from hatchbacks to SUVs, though still a majority of the list is covered with names of hatchbacks.

Starting with the list, the Maruti Suzuki Alto took the top spot with a sale of 24,844 units in September 2022. The number was followed by the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, which sold 20,078 units.
