Maruti Baleno Was The Bestselling Premium Hatchback In FY2025, Followed By The Hyundai i20 And Other Models

Maruti Baleno remains the only premium hatchback on the list to cross the 1 lakh sales mark 

In fiscal year 2025(FY25), premium hatchback sales in India showed diminishing buyers’ interest in this segment, with sales dropping by as much as 50 percent. Interestingly, subcompact and micro-SUVs which share a similar price range are now preferred more than these premium hatchbacks. Currently, there are four premium hatchbacks in the Indian market. Here’s a detailed report on their sales in FY2025.

Key Takeaways

• The Maruti Baleno remains the bestselling premium hatchback, with over 1.6 lakh sales and dispatches in FY2025. However, the model witnessed a sales decline of more than 25,000 units compared to the previous fiscal year.

• The Hyundai i20 (including the N-Line) saw a sales drop of 21 percent this financial year. Hyundai sold a little over 50,000 units, which is around 14,000 units less than the previous financial year.

• The Toyota Glanza, a rebadged sibling of the Maruti Baleno, sold just under 50,000 units in FY25. It experienced a relatively modest year-on-year (YoY) decline of 7 percent.

• The Tata Altroz, including its sportier iteration – the Tata Altroz Racer, collectively sold over 35,000 units. It faced the sharpest decline in sales, dropping by 50 percent compared to FY2024. The Altroz, however, is expected to get a facelift next month which could help it increase its appeal resulting in better sales.
