Top 10 cars sold in India in July: Tata Nexon edges out Hyundai Venue
Tata Motors has entered the list of top 10 cars sold in India for the first time in recent months after Nexon SUV recorded more than 10,000 unit sales last month. Nexon has been able to beat Hyundai Venue, which has featured more regularly in the list, but remains second to Maruti Suzuki's Vitara Brezza in the sub-compact SUV segment.
Maruti Suzuki cars continue to dominate the sales chart in July as usual, with as many as eight of them placed among top 10 cars sold in the country last month.
Here is a quick look at the 10 cars which sold the most in India in July.
Maruti WagonR continues to lead the pack of best-selling cars in India for the second consecutive month. The new generation Maruti WagonR saw sales figure of 22,836 units last month. It is a significant rise since June this year when Maruti sold 19,447 units of WagonR. The tallish hatchback has recorded a growth of nearly 70 per cent compared to the same period last year.
The premium hatchback from Maruti stable held on to the sedcond position on the list. Maruti sold 18,434 units of Swift hatchback in July, up from 17,272 units sold in June. Swift has been one of the most consistent performers for India's top-selling car manufacturer.
Another Maruti premium hatchback Baleno completes the top three on the list, which has remained the same as was in June this year. Maruti sold 14,729 units of Baleno last month, compared to 14,701 units sold in the previous month. In July last year, Maruti had sold 11,575 units of Baleno.
If there is any surprise on the list of top 10 cars sold in July, Maruti's seven-seater Ertiga has climbed three spots to secure the fourth position as best-selling vehicles last month.
