Speaking of the hatchback categories, the band of Marutis -- WagonR, S-Presso, Swift and Baleno -- beat their respective competitors to make it to the next round.
Two Tata cars, the Tiago and the Altroz, also bowled their rivals over and so did Hyundai’s Grand i10 Nios and the Elite i20.
Renault’s Kwid also progressed to the next stage and is the only Renault left in the proceedings. Interestingly, the Toyota Glanza also passed over to the next round, which certainly establishes a positive view for its donor car, the Baleno.
In the compact SUV space, it’s no surprise that the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta and Maruti S-Cross beat their competitors fair and clear.
The Harrier, given its massive online fanboy army, decimated the Nissan Kicks. However, what’s surprising was that the Scorpio left the newer, better-equipped MG Hector behind.
