8. Honda Jazz:

The Honda Jazz struggled to sell well when it was initially launched. That was quite strange for a Honda, so, the company re-introduced the hot hatch in the country and sales surpassed the Honda City and the Amaze! The Jazz has sold 16,842 units during the second quarter of FY 2016.

On-road price:

  • Honda Jazz (petrol) - INR 6,54,866 onwards
  • Honda Jazz (diesel) - INR 7,99,208 onwards

7. Maruti Suzuki Celerio:

Taking the seventh spot is the first Maruti product on the list, the Celerio. It was a normal looking when launched, but the introduction of an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) pushed the sales right up, and this even lead the company to introduce a diesel variant of the Celerio. It has registered 24,612 units sold this quarter, compared to 19,432 units sold a year ago. It has slipped down a position from last year, despite registering more sales.

On-road price:

3. Maruti Suzuki Swift:

Probably one of the best hatchbacks in India. The Swift did a lot of magic to the company initially. Ever since its launch, it has been a good selling product for Maruti, since it also has a diesel engine option. In overall sales, the Swift might lose its crown or feel threatened by the recently launched Ford Figo. This quarter in the FY 2016, the swift has sold 53,959 units compared to 50,684 units sold last year, which is a marginal growth.

On-road price:

  • Maruti Suzuki Swift (petrol) - INR 5,67,762 onwards
  • Maruti Suzuki Swift (diesel) - INR 7,13,286 onwards

2. Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire:

This quarter, the car registered 61,486 units, compared to 55,948 units registered a year ago. The Dzire too, may find the newly launched Ford Figo Aspire as a tough competition.

On-road price:

  • Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire (petrol) - INR 6,23,684 onwards
  • Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire (diesel) - INR 7,75,144 onwards

There is a new car called the Kwid from renault that has just set a benchmark in terms of bookings. Will the Alto still be the top seller in a few months? Stay tuned for more!
