New Delhi. The list of best selling cars for September 2024 has arrived, but this time the figures are somewhat surprising. Actually, this time neither any hatchback nor any SUV has become the best selling car. This time the car that got the number-1 title is a 7-seater which has had bumper sales.

This car has left behind Wagon R, Creta, Brezza and Baleno in terms of sales. Even Maruti's famous Maruti franchise has been left behind. At the same time, it has given a big defeat to Tata Punch also. Let us know which cars were included in the top-10.

Maruti Ertiga becomes top selling car
In September 2024, Maruti Ertiga recorded sales of an impressive 17,441 units, which is a significant increase compared to last year (13,528 units). It remains the top choice in the MPV segment and is being liked a lot as a family car.

Swift has secured the second position with sales of 16,241 units. This figure is better than last year's 14,703 units, making it a strong contender in the hatchback segment. Hyundai Creta has a very strong hold in the SUV segment. 15,902 units of this vehicle were sold in September 2024, which is a better performance than last year. Its 16,762 units were sold in August 2024.

Brezza included in top-5
Maruti Brezza is also included in the top-5 with sales of 15,322 units. Although 19,190 units were sold in August 2024, the demand for this vehicle still remains. Mahindra's popular SUV Scorpio recorded sales of 14,438 units in September 2024. There has also been an increase in this compared to last year (11,846 units).

There was some decline in the sales of Baleno this year. It sold 14,292 units in September 2024, whereas 18,417 units were sold in the same month last year. This new model has also made a good place in the market. In September 2024, 13,874 units of Ford were sold, which is much more than last year.

Punch, WagonR lag behind
Tata Motors' micro-SUV Punch sold 13,711 units. There has been a slight decline compared to last month, but it is still quite popular. Maruti's Wagon R remains in the top 10 with sales of 13,339 units. However, there has been a decline in its sales as compared to last year (16,250 units). Maruti's affordable car Eeco sold 11,908 units in September 2024, which is more than last year (11,147 units).

Maruti Suzuki sales in November rises marginally, small cars biggest contributor

by with No Comment car insurance online

Maruti Suzuki continues to ride high on its small cars as it remains firmly on top of the list of biggest carmakers in India in November. Maruti Suzuki delivered 1.34 lakh units across India last month, up from 1.32 lakh units it clocked in November last year. Though small cars like Alto, Baleno, Swift and WagonR remain the biggest volume drivers for Maruti, the marginal one per cent growth for the carmaker came from its SUV lineup which includes models like Brezza, Grand Vitara and Fronx as well as MPVs like Ertiga and XL6.

Maruti Suzuki has intensified its SUV game in India. India’s leading passenger vehicle manufacturer had reported about 80 per cent hike in profit in the last three months thanks to the rise in demand for its SUVs. Maruti Suzuki currently leads the SUV segment in India with new-age models introduced in the past one year or so. Models like Grand Vitara and Fronx, which feature as some of India’s top-selling models, have added to Maruti’s tally led by sub-compact SUV Brezza as well as the latest entrant Jimny five-door off-road SUV.

In terms of exports too, Maruti Suzuki has grown last month despatching 22,950 units across its global markets. It is a growth of around 15 per cent compared to 19,738 units exported by the carmaker in November last year.
