Chevrolet :

Big failure in Indian market. No cars crossed 1K figure.

Fiat :

Abarth Punto is 3 units behind Mustang. Fiat management should be blamed for their current situation. Thanks to Fiat, I have gem of an engine in my S-cross and Fiat did not get it for their own car in India. Audi and Mercedes sold more cars than Fiat

Ford :

Ecosport is still doing good numbers, thanks to price cut. Endeavour figures are decent enough and Mustang at 20 units is not at all bad. It's sad to see that even price cut did not help Figo twins. Yes there is around 75 percent increase compared to previous month, but look at the numbers (2500 combined).

Honda :

Overall figures are just above average. City is no more a segment leader. Gone are those good days!!

Hyundai :

Look at Grand I10 numbers, it's doing very good even after 3 years since launch. Actually numbers have increased every year. I20 and Creta are also doing well.

Mahindra :

Just above average!!

KUV numbers are on decline and other models are doing almost same as before.

Maruti :

Good to see that Maruti has resumed production of S-Cross. This car is not doing as per initial expectation (5K/month).

Ritz numbers have increased, thanks to taxi market. Ciaz is the new segment leader and way ahead of City.

Brezza and Baleno are doing really good. Baleno figures would have been more if Maruti did not cater to the demands of export market (Baleno is manufactured only in India).

Renault - Nissan Alliance :

3rd spot on domestic sales chart, thanks to Kwid and Redi Go. No other cars are helping to get numbers.

Skoda :

1211 units in total!! Skoda used to sell more Rapid's than this number once upon a time. 25 percent sales from Superb is something to be appreciated.

Tata :

Thanks to Tiago, Tata is on 5th spot now. Bolt was dead on arrival due to pricing very close to Zest.

Toyota :

Innova Crysta is the car for Toyota in India. 8000 plus units for a car above 20 lakhs is really an achievement. Etios is doing steady 2500 units and upcoming facelift might help.

Volkswagen :

Ameo is doing decent numbers and Polo has taken a hit. It's high time to launch new generation Vento. Minor updates every 6 months won't be of any help.

Out of Top 10 cars sold last month

Maruti : 6/10
Hyundai : 3/10
Renault : 1/10

Out of Top 20 cars sold last month

Maruti : 11/20
Hyundai : 4/20
Renault : 1/20
Toyota : 1/20
Ford : 1/20
Mahindra : 1/20
Tata : 1/20
