Top Indian Cars That Are Exported To Foreign Countries

The Indian automobile industry is expected to be the third-largest automotive industry in the world in terms of volume by 2026. Over 26 Million vehicles are made in India at present out of which almost 5 Million vehicles are exported. In today’s featured, we are going to tell you about 10 Indian cars that are exported to foreign countries. You will be surprised to see that these Indian cars are commonly used in countries other than India too.

1. Toyota Glanza / Starlet
   

   

   We know it by many names. Most of us know it as the Maruti Suzuki Baleno. Others might know it as the Toyota Glanza. Just to let you know, Toyota also exports some of its units to Africa and the exported units go by the name of Toyota Starlet. There is no change under the hood and therefore, this is the first one on our list of Indian cars exported to foreign countries.

2. Ford EcoSport
   

   

   The one which introduced Indians to the concept of compact SUVs. It takes a lot of courage to introduce a whole new segment in a diverse market like India. Ford took up this challenge and all of us know how the compact SUV segment has flourished since then! Talking about the Indian cars exported to other countries, Ford EcoSport is definitely on the list as it is usually among the top exported vehicles from India.

3. Chevrolet Beat (Spark)
   

   

   Yes, you are absolutely right. Chevrolet was discontinued in India in 2017. But did you know that Chevrolet’s Indian manufacturing facility is still functioning? Cars are still manufactured at the facility and are used for export purposes only. Chevrolet Beat, however, remains among the top 10s in the terms of exports. The one which we know by the name of Beat sells in many countries by the name of Chevrolet Spark.

   We got the last Hyundai Accent in 2013 whereas some parts of the world still continue to drive the Hyundai Accent. No, we are not talking about the older-gen Accent that we used to get here in India. The Indian Hyundai Verna is known as the Hyundai Accent in some parts of the world. Verna also delivers a considerable number among the Indian cars that are exported to other parts of the world. VolJust to let you know, Verna is the segment leader in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia!

5. Tata Harrier
   

   

   harrier is another one among the Indian cars that are exported to other countries. Tata Motors continues to export Harrier from the Indian manufacturing facility to other Asian markets. Harrier has delivered a decent sales figure for the brand ever since it was launched. That said, the biggest update was the introduction of the automatic transmission considering the Indian demands at present.

6. Mahindra Scorpio
   

   

   Apart from being an excellent SUV in India, the Mahindra Scorpio also forms an excellent export unit for the Indian automaker. Mahindra exports Scorpio in countries like Sri Lanka and Philippines. The Indian buyers continue to buy this SUV even today ignoring others in the market. We guess the craze for Scorpio is never going to end! Analysing the export numbers, we can clearly state that Indians are not the only ones who love Scorpio! In the past times, the Mahindra Scorpio Getaway was also exported to Italy!

   Another “Made in India” car that is exported overseas on a very large scale. The VW Vento stands among the top Indian cars that are exported in terms of volume. The Skoda Volkswagen Group is well-known in the automotive markets for the quality and reliability their vehicles deliver. Therefore, not only Indians but the global audience also buys the VW Vento on a very large scale. As said already, most of the units are exported from India only.

8. Kia Seltos & Sonet
   

   

   This Korean automaker has been in the headlines for gaining record sale numbers for both of its SUVs in the Indian market.

With such an export number, Hyundai remains one of the biggest contributors in the government’s Make in India initiative.

10. Tata Safari and Tata Xenon
