The festive month of October brought in relief for car manufacturers as sales finally picked up a little after languishing for the better part of the year. But as usual, the top gainer was Maruti followed by Hyundai and of course, the surprise entry - Kia - which is riding a wave of success with just a single product, the Seltos. Let’s take a look.

Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai Elite i20 Readily Available In Most Cities This September

Not much has changed in the past year as it has remained a family feud for the fourth spot where the Dzire, Swift, Alto and Baleno have remained the top-selling cars. Even the bottom two cars on the list are from Maruti, with almost identical sales figures.
The overall sales numbers have been in a similar ballpark as last year, but the top-selling car in 2019 is more than 2,000 unit down on 2018’s best-seller.

Hyundai Elite i20 (2019)

From three contenders in the top-selling list to just one, Hyundai has lost quite a bit this year. The Elite i20 has held its own and even saw a rise of more than 1,000 unit sales over 2018.

Kia Seltos Continues To Rule The Segment; Crosses 60k Bookings

The surprise entry here is the Kia Seltos, which is the most expensive offering in the pool but was still lapped up by nearly 13,000 customers. Kia Motors has now the fifth-highest market share in the Indian market all thanks to the Seltos.
