The Indian car sales landscape is undergoing a significant shift, with Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) emerging as the dominant force in the market. June 2024 saw SUVs take the lead, securing five out of the top 10 best-selling cars in India. This trend reflects a growing preference for SUVs over traditional hatchbacks and sedans.
Maruti Suzuki Dominates Top 10, but SUVs Lead the Charge
Maruti Suzuki maintained its strong position in the market, with six models making it to the top 10 list. However, it’s noteworthy that even within Maruti Suzuki’s lineup, the popular hatchbacks like the WagonR, Swift, and Baleno are facing increasing competition from SUVs.
Tata Motors’ Top-Selling Models
Tata Motors also made a significant impact with two models in the top 10. Notably, the Tata Punch emerged as the best-selling car in June, underscoring the growing popularity of micro-SUVs in India. The Tata Nexon, another SUV from the brand, also secured a spot in the top 10 after being absent in the previous months.
