Maruti Suzuki dominated the sales charts yet again with seven models while Hyundai had two; Kia’s Seltos ended up as the seventh most sold model in 2020

The highly popular Swift hatchback was the most sold car in the country in the recently concluded calendar year of 2020. The five-seater has been through multiple generations and each one has been a massive success. The latest iteration of the Swift debuted back in 2018 at the Auto Expo with an overhauled exterior and interior, and it has certainly been well received amongst customers.

Last year, the Swift garnered a total of 1,60,765 units as it finished ahead of the Alto. The entry-level hatchback recorded a cumulative domestic tally of 1,54,076 units while the Baleno premium hatchback was the third most sold passenger car in India with 1,53,986 units and a very little gap existed between it and the Alto.

The Baleno is the best-selling model for Maruti Suzuki at the Nexa premium dealerships. The Wagon R received its third generation in January 2019 and it has lived up to the success of its predecessor. The tall hatch recorded 1,48,298 units as it finished fourth ahead of the country’s highest selling sedan, the Dzire.
