The hatchback was followed by the Brezza, which secured the second position with 22,436 units, while Tata Motors' Nexon finished third with a total of 21,966 units.
The October sales rankings highlight the continued market strength of Maruti Suzuki, which accounted for six of the top 10 best-selling models overall. Tata Motors secured two positions on the list, while Mahindra also successfully featured among the country's top performers.
The Maruti Suzuki WagonR maintained its position as one of the most popular mass-market vehicles in the country, topping the chart with its 23,747 units sold. The Brezza followed closely behind to finish ahead of the Tata Nexon.
Moving further down the list, the Baleno occupied the fourth position with 20,919 units, closely followed by the Dzire sedan at 20,649 units. The Ertiga recorded 20,641 units, positioning itself as a dominant model in the multi-purpose vehicle segment. Tata Motors' Punch secured the seventh position with 20,525 units, while Maruti Suzuki's Fronx took the eighth spot at 20,014 units, meaning both models successfully crossed the 20,000-unit threshold during the month.
Mahindra's Scorpio secured the ninth position with 19,353 units, demonstrating steady consumer demand for its sports utility vehicle lineup. The Maruti Suzuki Swift rounded out the top 10 by finishing the month with 18,866 units.
Overall, the October 2026 market figures demonstrated a robust performance from SUVs, with the Brezza, Nexon, Punch, Fronx, and Scorpio all capturing spots in the top 10. However, the WagonR securing the leading position also proves the enduring appeal and relevance of affordable hatchbacks in the Indian passenger vehicle market, where Maruti Suzuki maintains its commanding industry presence.
