Creta has been a front-runner in Hyundai’s lineup since its launch in 2015. It is a mid-sized SUV with a 1.5 L turbo GDI/MPI Petrol and a 1.5 L CRDi diesel engine. Alongside its powerful performance, it is feature-rich which makes it a highly deemed SUV in Indian market. Last month in July, 17,350 units of Creta were sold by Hyundai.

Maruti sold over 200,000 units of Swift last year, making it the best-selling car of 2023. This premium hatchback has a 1.2 L Z-series engine and starts at 6.4 lakhs which makes it an affordable and reliable option for many budget hatchback buyers. Maruti sold 16,854 units of Swift last month alone.

One out of four families in India has this car. Maruti Wagon R, the best-selling car of the year 2022, ensures its place in the top 10 every year. Starting from 5.5 lakhs, 16,191 units of Wagon R was sold last month.

Another Tata’s car that sold 13,902 units in a single month of July. Nexon is a mid-sized SUV, equipped with 1.2 L petrol and 1.5 L diesel engines. An upcoming CNG variant for Nexon will launch soon, perhaps that would increase its sales more.
