It’s always exciting to look back on the car sales of the previous month, provided the sales numbers are good. But at times, these sales numbers don’t reflect what the automobile industry wished for. November 2021 is a perfect example of this situation. Well, because of the slow market, car sales are overwhelmingly low compared to the digits of November 2020. Accelerating the things further south is the chip shortage situation.
Nevertheless, amidst these difficulties, the segment that came on top in car sales is a hatchback. So, today we look at the top 10 best selling hatchbacks for November 2021.

Maruti Suzuki WagonR – 16,853 Units
