10. Honda City

In spite of offering many models, the City remains to be the best seller for Honda in India. Honda sold 5,662 units of the City sedan during March 2016, which is quite low. One of the strongest selling factors of the City is its petrol engine, and the new diesel engine is also helping the Japanese carmaker sell volumes.

Taking the ninth place is the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, the second product from Maruti to be sold under the Nexa brand, after the S-Cross. Maruti managed to sell 6,236 units of the Baleno hatchback during March 2016. Sales numbers is pretty decent keeping in mind the negative reviews Nexa dealerships have got.
