Here’s list of the top 10 selling hatchback cars in India, focusing on sales figures from April 2025, as May-specific data is incomplete. India is used as the primary market due to its significant hatchback sales and the availability of recent data. Note that global data or May-specific figures are less comprehensive, so I’m extrapolating from April 2025 Indian market trends, which align closely with regional preferences for hatchbacks.
Maruti Suzuki Swift – 14,592 units sold (April 2025)
- Known for its sporty handling, fuel efficiency (22.38 km/l petrol, 30.90 km/kg CNG), and strong brand trust in India. Discounts in April boosted its 256% year-on-year growth.
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R – 13,413 units sold
A practical family car and taxi favorite due to its spacious cabin and high mileage (24.35–25.19 km/l petrol, 33.48 km/kg CNG). Despite a 25% sales drop year-on-year, it remains a top seller.
Maruti Suzuki Baleno – 13,180 units sold
- A premium hatchback with a spacious interior and efficient 1.2L engine (22.94 km/l petrol, 30.61 km/kg CNG). It saw a 6% sales decline due to competition from the Maruti Fronx SUV.
Tata Tiago – 8,227 units sold
- Offers a 1.2L petrol or CNG engine (20.09 km/l petrol) and strong build quality. It recorded a year-on-year sales increase, appealing to budget-conscious buyers.
Hyundai Grand i10 Nios – ~5,000 units (estimated, based on prior trends)
- A compact hatchback with a 1.2L petrol engine and modern features. It’s a key rival to the Swift but trails in sales volume. Exact April figures are unavailable, but it’s consistently among top hatchbacks
