Maruti Suzuki Swift was the most sold car in the country in October 2020 with a cumulative domestic tally of 24,589 units
The month of October 2020 had been an auspicious for the Indian automotive industry as a whole as it recorded its highest ever monthly sales on the back of the festive season furore. Maruti Suzuki continued to lead the way ahead of Hyundai, Tata Motors and Kia and all them registered their highest volume tally in a single month.
As expected, Maruti Suzuki dominated the sales charts last month with eight models in the top ten while Hyundai had two. The Swift compact hatchback recorded a total of 24,589 units in October 2020 and its volumes have been nothing short of impressive since the social and economic conditions got back to normal a few months ago.
The Baleno continued to impress with a tally of 21,971 units and it is receiving a brand new rival in the form of Hyundai i20 while the Tata Altroz has also been posting good sales since its market debut earlier this year. The third-gen Wagon R launched in January 2019 has also been well received among customers as its consistency deserves a mention.
