Hyundai Creta – 14,062 units

Top cars July 2023 – Maruti Suzuki Fronx – 13,220 units
Maruti’s gamble of bringing an SUV based on the Baleno seems to be working quite well. The higher ground clearance and SUV-like feel are surely attracting buyers to the Fronx. Its 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine is another thing attracting new buyers. What about features? It has all the features offered by Baleno like heads-up display, 360-degree camera, 9.0-inch infotainment etc. The Fronx saw a major sales hike with 13,220 units sold in July, compared to 7,991 units in June.

Maruti Suzuki WagonR – 12,970 units
The WagonR saw a massive slide in July. From being the best-selling car to 7th on this list is a major slide. Nevertheless, Maruti sold 12,970 units of the WagonR in July compared to 17,481 units in June. So why is the WagonR so popular? It is loved for its tall-boy design, offering great space for tall passengers. Other than that, it also has the Maruti reliability and service network. The WagonR pricing starts from Rs 6.48 lakh and goes to Rs 8.69 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
Tata Nexon – 12,349 units
Again breaking the Maruti monopoly is the Tata Nexon. The Nexon is a well-rounded product considering that it comes with a powerful engine and also features.

Feature-wise, we have 7.0-inch infotainment, ventilated seats, electric sunroof etc. Tata sold 12,349 units of Nexon in July compared to 13,827 units in June.

Top cars July 2023 – Maruti Eeco – 12,037 units
