Maruti’s Swift superseded Alto again to become the best selling car for both OEM and the Nation for October 2020. It is the third month in succession that Swift overtook Alto!
-
Baleno too outsold Alto and jumped to the second spot. It recorded a mammoth 35% YoY growth. Also note that rebadged Toyota Glanza sold 2,978 units – the combined Baleno+Glanza sales shall be 24,949 units!
-
Wagon-R was the third best selling car in Maruti’s portfolio for Oct 2020. There is a spike seen in the sales of entry level cars and Swift/Alto/Wagon-R sales are a testimony for it.
-
Alto slipped to the fourth position and was 853 units short of the third best selling Wagon R in Oct’20. It had a flat YoY growth.
-
Dzire was one of the few Maruti models to post a degrowth in Oct 2020 as well – drop is obviously due discontinuation of diesel variant. Maruti has aggressively launched a slew of campaigns under ‘Calculate Kiya Kya’ to highlight how diesel cars can prove to be costly in longer run. Believe Maruti has no other option now!
-
Ciaz seems to be outdated in front of the New City & Verna. Its volumes have dropped significantly (-40% YoY) and diesel model discontinuation has added to its woes. Even S-Cross sold much higher than Ciaz in Oct’20!
