The overall volumes showed a very minimal negative YoY growth as most of the top manufacturers performed well including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata, Mahindra, Kia and Renault.
Maruti Suzuki’s combined domestic sales led to the brand enduring 1.8 per cent growth in July 2020 and the scenario is expected to improve in the months to come. The Alto entry level hatchback sat at the top of the sales table as 13,654 units were sold last month. It finished ahead of Wagon R, Baleno, Creta and Swift.
The second-placed Wagon R garnered a total of 13,515 units last month and it continued to impress with its tally. The electric version of the third generation Wagon R is only expected to arrive in the domestic market sometime next year. The Baleno ended up third with 11,575 units as it beat its main rival Hyundai Elite i20 in a comprehensive fashion.
