Maruti Suzuki Alto

The Alto retained the top rank in October 2022. The Indian automaker sold 21,260 units of the Alto hatchback last month compared to 17,389 unit sales in October 2021, thereby registering a growth of 22 per cent. The significant rise in sales is attributed to the recently launched new-gen Alto K10 in the country, which has regenerated interest among entry-level car buyers.

The company sold 17,945 units of the Wagon R in October 2022 compared to 12,335 unit sales in the same period last year. It is worth noting that the CNG version of this hatchback, in particular, is a popular choice among car buyers in the country.

The Swift hatchback emerged as the third bestseller last month with an impressive growth of 88 per cent. The company registered 17,231 unit sales in October 2022 compared to 9,180 unit sales in the same period last year. The significant growth in sales is attributed to the launch of the Swift CNG version in August this year.

Maruti Suzuki’s premium hatchback, the Baleno missed the third rank by just 82 units! The company sold 17,149 units of the Baleno hatchback in October 2022 compared to 15,573 unit sales in the same period last year, thereby registering a growth of 10 per cent.
