    This is where the chart starts looking a bit different. Kia entered the Indian market in August last year and has been a very successful flagship in the country. It sold 15,000 units in January. Kia has also brought down the waiting period of Seltos and also promised to bring a new model to India in every 6 months.

  7. Maruti Suzuki Eeco

    Kia Seltos was able to defeat the Vitara Brezza by a good 5000 units in terms of sales. This led to the fall of Brezza to the 8th position.

  9. Hyundai Grand i10

    The hatchback saw a decline in sales as compared to the same month in 2019. Hyundai is planning to bounce back into the market with Creta 2020 and Grand i10 Nios.

    The premium hatchback from Hyundai loaded with features was able to attract 8,137 customers in the month of January 2020.

Maruti Suzuki discontinued diesel engines in order to keep its cars BS6 compliant. But this does not seem to have affected at the sales.

The carmaker recently announced that it won’t be sending its cars for the Global NCAP crash test. But Indian customers still seem to be less inclined towards the safety aspect while buying the cars. Most of the Maruti cars in the list above are not even 2-star rated at the crash testing. Should we be worried to see such unsafe cars in the sales report and that too at the top positions?
