Hatchbacks are undoubtedly the most popular kinds of cars in India. Their compact size makes them very easy to move around in Indian traffic conditions. They also offer excellent value for money, decent enough features and phenomenal fuel efficiency figures! Today, let’s take a look at the best-selling hatchbacks in India in January 2022.
-
Maruti Suzuki WagonR (20,334 Units)
India’s favourite CAB, the WagonR comes first on this list of best-selling hatchbacks in India. The WagonR is an extremely practical car; it offers excellent cabin space and great fuel efficiency. The fact that it comes with the option of a factory-fitted CNG is also something that helps the WagonR sell in huge numbers.
-
Maruti Suzuki Swift (19,108 Units)
India’s favourite, most reliable and most trusted hatchback, the Swift surely creeps into the top 5 of this list. This car needs no introduction, heck we don’t even need to explain why it’s up here! The Swift has been in the market for well above a decade, and it has been performing excellently ever since the beginning.
-
Maruti Suzuki Alto (12,342 Units)
The Alto is probably the second most famous Maruti Suzuki car after the Maruti 800. With the Alto, Maruti gave every middle-class Indian an opportunity to fulfil their dream of having a family car! It’s much more than just a product; it is an emotion for us Indians. It’s really not a surprise seeing Alto atop this list of best-selling hatchbacks.
-
Maruti Suzuki Celerio (8,279 Units)
The newly launched Celerio has already come up in this list of best-selling hatchbacks, that’s how strong the Maruti brand is! With the 2021 update, the Celerio got some extra features like keyless entry, a touch infotainment system and auto-folding mirrors. The Celerio also comes with a CNG variant.
-
Hyundai Grand i10 (6,841 Units)
Finally a non-Maruti car! Hyundai’s Grand i10 is an excellent offering in the hatchback segment. It offers great features, staggering looks and a wide range of options to choose from. An i10 buyer can choose between 3 engine options, a NA Petrol, a Turbo Petrol and a Diesel. It also gets an optional automatic gearbox (AMT). This really helps Hyundai in widening its target audience.

Maruti Suzuki Baleno (6,791 Units)
Maruti’s Baleno, the premium hatchback managed to sell strongly in January 2022. The Baleno is one of the most value-for-money cars in the premium hatch segment. It offers great features, a well-established engine, and the option of an automatic (CVT). The major selling point of the Baleno is definitely its best-in-class comfort and cabin space.
-
Hyundai i20 (6,505 Units)
While the i20 has made it to the list, its sales numbers have decreased by 23.5% as compared to January 2021. The high-end pricing might be a reason for this huge decrease in sales, coupled with the on and off lockdowns in the last year. Needless to say, the i20 is a great car, a little pricey but great.
-
Maruti Suzuki Spresso (6,292 Units)
This is the last Maruti on the list, promise J. The S-Presso is a great car for someone who wants a higher ground clearance on a lower budget. This is one of the major reasons why people buy it. The SUV-like stance is very sought after in the Indian market these days and the S-Presso gives that at a very affordable price point.
-
Tata Tiago (5,195 Units)
The Tata Tiago’s sharp looks, amazing build quality and up to date features make it a very desirable first car for anyone. It offers a city mileage of 20+ KMPL (claimed) which makes it a steal deal considering that it’s priced at an aggressive 4.99 Lacs. The recent addition of the CNG variant is only going to helo the Tiago climb this up further!
-
Tata Altroz (4,526 Units)
India’s safest hatchback, the Altroz also makes a place in this list! We really wish that it would be higher up in the ranks, after all, it is a MADE IN INDIA product. If Tata would offer an automatic gearbox with the Altroz, these numbers would have been much higher.
