Maruti Suzuki Swift

Maruti Suzuki Swift was a consecutive bestseller in the country until it was outsold by Hyundai Creta in May 2021. One of the main reasons behind the drop in sale is attributed to 50 per cent drop in production as the company had announced a bi-annual maintenance shutdown from 1 May to 9 May, which was later extended to 16 May. Owing to limited dispatches, Maruti Suzuki Swift registered 7,005-unit sales in India last month. 

Kia Sonet

South Korean car manufacturer, Kia has emerged as the fourth bestselling brand in the country in May 2021. With just a three product line-up, the company has registered cumulative sales of 11,050 units and has also secured a 10.7 per cent market share in May 2021. Of the total sales, 6,627 units are from the Kia Sonet alone. Kia’s sub-four metre SUV, the Sonet has emerged as the third bestselling model in the country last month. 

Tata Nexon

Tata Nexon has lost the third position by mere 188 units. The country’s popular utility vehicle manufacturer, Tata Motors sold 6,439 units of the Nexon in India in May 2021.
