Top 10 best-selling cars in October 2024 – All details

Before we divulge into the detailed analysis of these popular models, have a look at the top 10 selling models in the month of October 2024 below.

1. Maruti Ertiga – 18,785 units

Maruti’s popular MPV Ertiga has crossed 18 thousand sales mark in October 2024. It remains in a continuously high demand due to its practical cabin, reliable engine, and affordable maintenance. Maruti also sells it with a CNG engine, that is loved by cab operators, and hence, the sales figures remain high. Not-to-mention, the absence of a direct rival to the Ertiga is also a key factor in its success.  

2. Maruti Swift – 17,539 units

Maruti recently launched the fourth generation of Swift in India. It is one of the most popular hatchbacks, and with its newest iteration, it has brought newer features and added safety. Not to mention, the Z12E three-cylinder engine is very fuel efficient and it is also available with an automatic transmission. The overall design, brand value, reliable engine, and efficient performance are the main reasons behind Swift’s success.

3. Hyundai Creta – 17,497 units

Hyundai’s latest generation of Creta is doing good when compared to the sales of October 2024. There is a hike in sales figures, maybe due to the sped-up deliveries. Hyundai launched the facelifted version of Creta earlier this year, and ever since, it has been in continuous demand. All thanks to its versatile engine and gearbox options, spacious cabin, and Hyundai’s widespread sales network, the Creta is an all-time favourite among Indians.

4. Maruti Brezza – 16,565 units

The Brezza compact SUV is also in the top 10 selling cars list of October month. The reason behind its continuous success is value-for-money variants. If you want a comfortable and reliable B-SUV with a proper automatic transmission, Brezza VXI offers great value-for-money. Similarly, for consumers with high annual usage, CNG VXI and ZXI options offer a good mix of features and comfort. 

5. Maruti Fronx - 16,419 units

Maruti Suzuki cars have posted strong resurgence in the month of October 2024 as both the Baleno and Fronx make to the top 10 cars list. The Fronx is popular among the masses for its coupe-crossover-inspired bodystyle bundled with the efficiency, practicality and reliability of the popular Baleno hatchback. The Fronx is also available with CNG as well as turbo petrol manual and automatic options, thereby attracting varied customer bases. 

6. Maruti Baleno – 16,082 units

The Maruti Baleno is also in popular demand as it stands at the sixth number in the sales chart of October. The reason behind its popularity is its value-for-money proposition. The spacious cabin and comfortable ride quality of Baleno are a key factor behind its success. Additionally, the CNG version of Baleno is efficient and the availability of the CNG option across variants is loved by new consumers. The AMT gearbox version is also affordable, which helps in pulling buyers from rival brands.

7. Tata Punch – 15,740 Units

Unlike the past months when the Punch was topping the monthly sales charts, the charm of the Tata Punch has been on a decline. Nonetheless, the Tata Punch manages to retain its place in the top 10 monthly sales of October, which can be attributed to the popularity of both Punch ICE and EV variants. Furthermore, Tata Motors also launched the updated Punch with new features, the effect of which has resulted in more sales than September 2024.

8. Mahindra Scorpio/N – 15,677 units

Surprisingly, the Scorpio has made it to the top 10 selling cars list of October. All thanks to the Mahindra’s decision of not discontinuing the old Scorpio, and transforming it into the Classic, the sales of Scorpio brand are higher than ever. The Scorpio N, struggling with pending bookings, is also contributing to the big sales numbers. The Scorpio Classic offers a good value, as it is priced well below Rs 20 lakh mark. Also, the Scorpio N, with its new comfortable cabin and bigger dimensions, can be had within a budget of Rs 20-22 lakh.

9. Tata Nexon – 14,759 units

The Tata Nexon has appeared back in the top 10 sales chart for the month of October 2024. Ever since the updated Nexon was launched, it saw a dip in its popularity due to increased prices over the arch rivals. However, Tata Motors has since then tried to regain the market share by offering a slew of powertrain options, including EV and CNG; and more features such as a panoramic sunroof. We expect the Nexon to climb up the sales chart in the coming months. 

10. Maruti Grand Vitara – 14,083 units

Making a surprise entry to the sales chart of October 2024 is the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, which goes head on with the Hyundai Creta. The success of the Grand Vitara could be attributed to its range of highly-efficient engines, which also include strong hybrid and CNG. Furthermore, it also offers a long range of features across its variants, making it an ideal choice for most of the buyers in the segment.
