Below the Hyundai Venue is the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso, which was also introduced in 2019. The S-Presso is an entry-level hatchback, positioned above the Alto in the brand's product portfolio. The Maruti S-Presso in December 2019 registered sales of 8,394 units to occupy the eighth position.
The bottom-two on the list are the Hyundai i20 Elite and the Maruti Eeco. Both models registered similar sales figures of 7,720 and 7,634 units, respectively.
