Top-selling Hatchbacks In July 2022

In July, 2022, hatchback sales, Maruti Suzuki S-Presso became the leader in A segment

July, 2022, hatchback sales witnessed a downfall on the whole with many top sellers witnessing degrowth. In fact, they had performed far better last year when the pandemic situation had just about eased.

In the A segment, Maruti Suzuki S-Presso became the top seller with 11,268-unit sales. It achieved the highest growth of 65 percent YoY. Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 and Renault Kwid took the remaining spots. Both witnessed double-digit de-growth.

In the B segment, as usual, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R clinched the top spot selling 22,588 units. But, unfortunately, it couldn’t achieve its pandemic figures this time. Maruti Swift came second witnessing de-growth.

At number 3, though Hyundai Grand i10 Nios has witnessed growth, it’s still marginal. Maruti Suzuki Celerio came fourth selling 6854 units. It was closely followed by Tata Tiago and Maruti Suzuki Ignis. Tiago has faced de-growth and overtook Ignis only by a few units.

Ignis was the only car after S-Presso to have achieved good growth. It has nearly doubled its pandemic performance with an excellent 61 percent growth.

In the C segment, again, Maruti Suzuki Baleno took the top spot, this time, with 22 percent YoY growth. It was distantly followed by Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz. While i20 has witnessed marginal growth, Altroz has faced severe de-growth.

At number 4, Toyota Glanza has witnessed marginal growth although sales were no where close to its cousin, Baleno. Honda Jazz, as usual, took the last place selling just 341 units with a de-growth of 42 percent.
