Maruti topped the list with the Brezza and Ertiga, while the Sonet recorded the highest year-on-year growth

The 2024 festive season has just begun, and the Indian automobile industry has reported positive growth in the month of August. Despite the sales chart being primarily dominated by SUVs, the Maruti Ertiga was the second-best selling car last month. Let's take a closer look at the 15 best selling cars of India in August 2024.

Key Takeaways

• The Maruti Brezza emerged as the best-seller in August 2024 with over 19,000 units shipped. Its year-on-year (YoY) demand grew by 32 percent, while its month-on-month (MoM) number improved by 31 percent.

• Following the Brezza, the Maruti Ertiga secured the second spot with over 18,500 units sold. In our market where SUVs have been more favoured in recent years, the Ertiga being an MPV still registered a 51 percent growth in YoY sales. Additionally, Maruti sold around 3,000 more units of the Ertiga in August 2024 compared to July 2024.

• The Hyundai Creta, a regular top-seller in the compact SUV segment, secured the third spot with nearly 16,800 units dispatched. Although Hyundai sold 500-odd less units of the SUV compared to July 2024, the Creta recorded a 21 percent growth on a YoY basis. Do note that these figures also include sales of the Hyundai Creta N Line.

• In August 2024, the Maruti  Wagon R recorded sales of over 16,000 units, thus registering a positive growth in both MoM and YoY numbers.

• The Tata Punch, which was the last model here to cross 15,000-unit sales, took the fifth spot in August 2024. The micro-SUV saw a 3 percent decline in MoM sales but its YoY figure registered an 8 percent growth. Do note that these sales numbers also include those of the Punch EV.

• The Mahindra Scorpio moved up two places in the August 2024 sales chart. The Indian carmaker sold close to 13,800 units of the SUV, which is 1,550 units more than in July 2024 and almost 4,000 units more than the same period last year. A point to note here is sales of Scorpio N are also combined in the above-mentioned figures. 

• Launched back in May 2024, the new-generation Maruti Swift has already become one of the best-selling cars every month. In August 2024, over 12,800 units were sold, which is close to 6,000 units fewer than in August 2023 and 4,000-odd units fewer than in July 2024.
