Tata Punch

Tata Punch climbs back up again to the third spot in the list of car sales in the last 6 months. Tata offers a wide range of powertrain options for the Punch — petrol, petrol with CNG, and electric. This makes the Punch appealing to a huge segment of buyers. Moreover, the Tata Punch is affordable, starting at just Rs 6.12 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Its SUV-like stance and 5-star safety rating add to the appeal.

Maruti Suzuki Swift

Maruti Suzuki just gave the Swift a generational update earlier this year.
