The Baleno and Elite i20 are the top-selling premium hatchbacks and are readily available in half of the cities on this list. But they also attract the longest waiting period of up to two months for Baleno buyers in Patna and upto 45 days for i20 buyers in Faridabad and Ghaziabad. The Baleno-based Toyota Glanza is more popular than the likes of the Honda Jazz and Volkswagen Polo while being readily available in most cities too.
