In fiscal year 2025(FY25), premium hatchback sales in India showed diminishing buyers’ interest in this segment, with sales dropping by as much as 50 percent. Interestingly, subcompact and micro-SUVs which share a similar price range are now preferred more than these premium hatchbacks. Currently, there are four premium hatchbacks in the Indian market. Here’s a detailed report on their sales in FY2025.

Key Takeaways
-
The Maruti Baleno remains the bestselling premium hatchback, with over 1.6 lakh sales and dispatches in FY2025. However, the model witnessed a sales decline of more than 25,000 units compared to the previous fiscal year.
-
The Hyundai i20 (including the N-Line) saw a sales drop of 21 percent this financial year. Hyundai sold a little over 50,000 units, which is around 14,000 units less than the previous financial year.
-
The Toyota Glanza, a rebadged sibling of the Maruti Baleno, sold just under 50,000 units in FY25. It experienced a relatively modest year-on-year (YoY) decline of 7 percent.
-
The Tata Altroz, including its sportier iteration – the Tata Altroz Racer, collectively sold over 35,000 units. It faced the sharpest decline in sales, dropping by 50 percent compared to FY2024. The Altroz, however, is expected to get a facelift next month which could help it increase its appeal resulting in better sales.
