Maruti Suzuki Baleno 

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is an all-rounder hatchback, and claims the seventh spot on the list of most selling cars in India. Maruti Suzuki managed to sell 91,224 units of the Baleno, while Toyota could only sell about a third as much of the Glanza — a badge-engineered version of the Baleno — during the same period. 

Tata Punch

Tata Punch has slumped down to being the eighth highest selling car in India, looking at the data from 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. Its SUV-like stance and 5-star safety rating add to the appeal.
