Top 10 Cars Sold In December 2019

The list features 8 models from Maruti Suzuki and 2 from Hyundai

Even though 2019 was a year that recorded a significant downturn for the Indian automobile industry, there were some cars that managed to record some stunning numbers in the final month. Here are the 10 cars that recorded the highest sales in December 2019:

Key Takeaways

• The Baleno ranked first in December 2019 with almost 18,500 units sold. In the same month last year, it ranked 6th with a total sales of 11,135 units.

• Of the 8 Maruti cars on the list, the Baleno, Dzire, Swift and Vitara Brezza are still offered with diesel engines. However, their diesel versions won’t be offered in the BS6 era as Maruti has decided to do away with diesel engines post April 1, 2020.

• Maruti is expected to launch the BS6-compliant 1.5-litre petrol version of the Vitara Brezza at Auto Expo 2020.

• Last year’s best-seller, the Alto K10, moved down to the second spot in December 2019. Its sales went down by almost 10,000 units in the span of a year.

• Holding on to the 4th spot for another consecutive year, the Swift saw a growth of over 25 per cent when compared to the past year.

• The WagonR, Venue and S-Presso are the new entrants to the list as all three models were launched in 2019.

• Hyundai will soon introduce the BS6-compliant petrol and diesel engines in the Venue and will replace the current 1.4-litre diesel with the 1.5-litre unit from the Seltos.

• Overall, the top 10 cars cumulatively sold 1,21,716 units, thereby accounting for 52 per cent of the total number of cars sold in December 2019.
