Top Selling Cars In India
Top selling cars in India is described in this post. Before talking about top selling cars in India let’s discuss about Indian auto market first. It has seen that Indian auto market is in deep crisis in over two decades. The number of sales for most car makers have dropped down significantly in the the first phase of 2019. The demand of car is low so companies are shutting down there factories. So, in that way, over 2.5 lakh people have lost their job.
But apart from this huge crisis there have been some popular cars that have gone through decent number of sales. So this is really a good news for the car makers. Below I am giving the list of top 10 cars in India who held the ground in the recent worst scenario.

Like Maruti Suzuki Baleno, BS6 version has also been included in the Swift (only for petrol guise). In addition, Swift 1.2 litre, 4 cylinder K12B motor has been updated to comply with the more stringent emission systems as per standard. As a result, the 1.2 litre petrol engine delivers the same 83 HP and 113 Nm of torque though it’s fuel efficiency figure is slightly lower (21.2 kpl). And the 1.3 litre diesel engine has not been updated yet and it may be seen in future.
