In the month of July 2022, Maruti Suzuki’s WagonR continued to sit at the top of the monthly sales standings as 22,588 units were sold against 22,836 units during the same period in 2021 with a YoY negative growth of 1 per cent. The WagonR has replaced the Alto as the most preferred entry-level Maruti Suzuki car in India in recent times.

However, the Alto is bracing to make a strong comeback with the new-gen model this month.

The Swift compact hatchback finished third with a cumulative tally of 17,539 units against 18,434 units.

The five-seater recorded a YoY de-growth of 5 per cent while the Tata Nexon was not too far behind in the fourth position. The best-selling SUV in the country posted 14,214 unit sales last month against 10,287 units during the corresponding period twelve months ago with a YoY growth of 38 per cent. It helped Tata to achieve its highest ever monthly tally as well in July.
