Top 10 Hatchbacks Sep 2025 – Swift, Baleno, Tiago, Glanza, i10

GaadiWaadi -

The table of top 10 hatchbacks in September 2025 saw Maruti Suzuki Swift moving up to top ahead ahead of its siblings WagonR and Baleno

Maruti Suzuki continued to dominate the hatchback sales standings in September 2025. While some of he popular offerings recorded impressive numbers, others did post YoY sales decline despite the arrival of the festive season. The Indo-Japanese brand held its ground while Tata Motors pulled off a rebound with the Tiago and Altroz.

At the top of the table, the Maruti Suzuki Swift sat in its familiar position as India’s highest-selling hatchback – recording 15,547 units in September. However, the figures marked a slight four per cent dip compared to the same month last year. Even with the decline, the Swift’s stronghold indicates its enduring popularity across demographics.

The latest generation has been well received by customers and compared to the previous month, the compact hatchback has moved up a position. Just behind it, the Maruti Suzuki WagonR continued its stellar run – registering 15,388 units and clocking a healthy 15 per cent growth over last year’s tally of 13,339 units.

1	Maruti Suzuki Swift (-4%)	15,547	16,241
2	Maruti Suzuki WagonR (15%)	15,388	13,339
3	Maruti Suzuki Baleno (-8%)	13,173	14,292
4	Tata Tiago (97%)	8,322	4,225
5	Maruti Suzuki Alto (-37%)	5,434	8.655

9	Toyota Glanza (2%)	3,299	3,246
10	Maruti Suzuki S-Presso (4%)	1,774	1,708

Its space-efficient design, frugal engine and resale value have kept it a family favourite across the country. The Baleno followed next with 13,173 units – witnessing an 8 per cent year-on-year drop. While demand has softened slightly, it remains one of the most feature-rich hatchbacks in the premium space.

The biggest story of the month came from Tata Motors. The Tiago saw a dramatic 97 per cent jump in sales – climbing from 4,225 units last year to 8,322 this September. This surge can be attributed to the growing popularity of its electric version and Tata’s emphasis on safety as well as its VFM proposition in the compact hatch space.

The Altroz too saw impressive traction with a 51 per cent rise to 4,168 units as the timely arrival of the mid-life facelift has worked in its favour this festive period. On the other hand, the once-dominant Maruti Suzuki Alto continued its downward slide – falling 37 per cent year-on-year to 5,434 units last month.

Elsewhere, the Toyota Glanza posted steady numbers with a 2 per cent uptick to 3,299 units. Hyundai’s Grand i10 Nios and i20, however, saw drops of 17 and 12 per cent respectively while the Maruti S-Presso, despite being the most affordable car in India, closed the list with a modest 4 per cent gain at 1,774 units.

Mahindra To Launch A New SUV & A New EV Within Next 6 Months

GaadiWaadi -

The facelifted Mahindra XUV700 is expected to launch early next year while the XEV 7e, XUV 3XO based EV and BE Rall-E are amongst the commonly spotted test mules

Mahindra & Mahindra has been testing a slew of new models across India as it looks to expand its ICE and electric portfolios. Recently, we have seen a pattern as the existing IC-engined SUVs have been receiving mid-cycle updates. The three-door Thar, Bolero and Bolero Neo are the prime examples and the strategy will stay put in the near future.

The homegrown manufacturer has been spotted testing the facelifted XUV 700 as well multiple times in recent times. It is expected to launch early next year with notable revisions inside and out. However, its existing powertrain options: the 2.2L mHawk diesel and the 2.0L mStallion petrol units will continue with same transmission choices.

Judging by the test mules, the 2026 Mahindra XUV 700 appears to draw plenty of inspiration from the XUV.e8 concept unveiled a while ago. It will, in turn, give rise to a three-row electric SUV which will also be based on the XUV 700 and we will come back to it later. The front fascia of the ICE XUV 700 facelift features a redesigned bumper and reworked headlamp clusters.

The SUV retains its flush door handles from the current model while the side profile appears largely unchanged but a new alloy wheel design will be part of the package. Although the overall proportions and glasshouse will likely stay the same, a few new exterior colour options are expected to spice things up.

The rear could also gain new tail lamps and bumper. The features list will likely boast a triple screen layout, more upscale surface trims, a suite of more advanced Level 2 ADAS tech and more. The XEV 7e will be amongst the next set of EVs heading to showrooms and it could utilise the battery packs found in the well received XEV 9e and BE 6.

It could be introduced in the coming months. The BE 6 based Rall-E, a more hardcore off-road version, and the XUV 3XO compact SUV based zero-emission model could also arrive within the next year and a half. Mahindra showcased as many as four new concepts and a brand new platform in August. The Vision S concept based baby Scorpio has also been caught on camera doing trials but its launch is only likely in 2027.

Skoda Kushaq Facelift Caught Testing Again, Launch Likely Soon

GaadiWaadi -

Skoda Kushaq facelift will gain visual revisions and a more premium cabin while the 1.0L and 1.5L turbo petrol powertrains will continue

Skoda’s steady climb in the local market owes much to the success of the Kushaq and Slavia duo. The Kushaq, in particular, has played a pivotal role in reviving the brand’s presence in the midsize SUV segment since its launch over four years ago. Now, the Czech automaker is preparing to give its popular SUV a comprehensive mid-life update.

Camouflaged test prototypes of the facelifted Kushaq have been undergoing trials across various regions in India. The refreshed model is expected to hit showrooms either by the end of this year or in the early months of 2026 – bringing a series of cosmetic and feature enhancements to keep it competitive amid growing rivalry in the hotly contested space.

The Kushaq facelift will likely retain its familiar silhouette while adopting sharper styling cues inspired by newer global Skoda models. Expect redesigned bumpers, a new front grille, tweaked LED headlamps and tail lamps and a set of new 17-inch alloy wheels as you could see in the latest image and previously we showed you pictures of it spied alongside the updated Taigun.

The updated Skoda Kushaq will continue to be underpinned by the heavily localised MQB A0 IN platform. While its overall proportions are expected to remain familiar, the facelifted version could gain subtle yet significant upgrades such as sequential turn indicators and a more premium cabin with improved surface materials and revised trims.

The 2026 Skoda Kushaq may also get a new dashboard and centre console layout. The feature list will also expand – headlined by the inclusion of a Level 2 ADAS suite. Other highlights are a larger touchscreen, an all-digital driver’s display, a 360-degree camera system, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats at the front and powered driver seat.

Under the hood, the facelifted Skoda Kushaq will continue with the tried-and-tested 1.0-litre three-cylinder and 1.5-litre four-cylinder TSI turbo petrol engines that have served it well. The smaller unit delivers 115 PS and 178 Nm of torque while the larger motor develops a punchier 150 PS and 250 Nm.

Transmission choices are expected to remain unchanged as a six-speed manual, a six-speed torque converter automatic for the 1.0L and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT) for the 1.5L variant could be retained.

Maruti Suzuki Victoris (Creta Rival) First Month Sales Figures Out

GaadiWaadi -

Maruti Suzuki Victoris is available in an expansive range and is priced between Rs. 10.5 lakh and Rs. 20 lakh (ex-showroom) in India

Midway through September 2025, Maruti Suzuki introduced its new midsize SUV, the Victoris, in India with much anticipation. In its first month in the domestic market, the five-seater sold through the regular Arena dealerships has seen total dispatches of 4,261 units as it was slotted behind its sibling, the Grand Vitara, in seventh, on the midsize SUV sales table.

The Maruti Suzuki Victoris managed to get the better of Tata Harrier, Honda Elevate and Tata Safari in terms of volume numbers but it is too early to judge its consistency at the moment. The SUV is available with regular petrol, CNG and strong hybrid petrol options and it carries a competitive starting price of Rs. 10.5 lakh (ex-showroom, introductory).

Retailed in a total of six trims, the Victoris’ prices go all the way up to Rs. 20 lakh for the range-topping model (ex-showroom). According to reports, the SUV has already crossed 25,000 bookings across India and its current waiting period stands at ten weeks for select variants. It is also high on safety posting full marks in Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP crash tests.

Hyundai Model Wise Sales Sep 2025 – Creta, Venue, Aura, Exter, Alcazar

GaadiWaadi -

The SUV duo of Creta and Venue brought in amazing sales numbers for Hyundai in Sep 2025 but despite that, it had to settle for the fourth position behind Tata & Mahindra

Hyundai India slipped to the fourth position in Sep 2025 monthly sales despite retailing more than 50k units in the domestic market. The second spot earlier occupied by the South-Korean brand was bagged by Tata Motors while Mahindra clinched the third position with the difference of just 3k units. Hyundai has held the second position for the longest period of time in the past. However, things have changed significantly in the last 12-15 months, as the second spot has been constantly changing hands between Tata, Mahindra and Hyundai.

Hyundai retailed a total of 51,547 units in Sep 2025 as compared to 51,101 units during the same month last year. More or less, the sales numbers remained the same as 1 percent YoY growth was recorded. As has been the norm for the last few years, Hyundai Creta spearheaded the brand’s sales chart last month with a total of 18,861 units as compared to 15,902 units in Sep 2024 with a YoY growth of 19 percent.

The recent cut in GST rates heavily favoured Hyundai Venue with prices being reduced by up to Rs 1.50 lakh, depending on the variant. It resulted in a phenomenal rise in the SUV’s sales volumes which went up to 11,484 units against the 8,109 units sold in Aug 2024. Hyundai is offering massive festive season discounts on the purchase of the Venue in order to clear the existing stock as the new-gen Venue is all set to go on sale from Nov 4 in the country.

Model & YoY Growth	Sep 2025 Sales	Sep 2024 Sales
Hyundai Creta (19%)	18,861	15,902
Hyundai Venue (12%)	11,484	10,259
Hyundai Exter (-18%)	5,643	6,908
Hyundai Aura (21%)	5,387	4,462
Hyundai Grand i10 (-17%)	4,238	5,103
Hyundai i20 (-12%)	3,884	4,428
Hyundai Alcazar (-54%)	1,234	2,712
Hyundai Verna (-39%)	725	1,198
Hyundai Tucson (-13%)	85	98
Hyundai Ioniq 5 (-81%)	6	31
Total (1%)	51,547	51,101

The third biggest gainer for Hyundai post the 2025 GST reforms was the Aura sedan with YoY growth of 21 percent. The company sold 5,387 units of the Aura last month as compared to 4,462 units in Sep 2024. Several other popular Hyundai cars such as the Exter, Grand i10 and i20 witnessed steep declines of 18 percent, 17 percent and 12 percent, respectively, in YoY sales numbers.

The YoY sales of Verna and Alcazar dropped by 39 percent and 54 percent, respectively. In fact, it was the third month on the trot for Verna with just triple digit sales volumes. However, the Alcazar showed a few signs of revival as the MoM sales increased by 4 percent. For reference, Hyundai sold 1,234 units of the SUV last month as compared to 1,187 units in Aug 2025.

Lastly, the Tucson and Ioniq 5 sales numbers for Sep 2025 stood at 85 units and 6 units, respectively. The YoY sales dipped by 13 percent and 81 percent as Hyundai had sold 98 units and 31 units of the Tucson and Ioniq 5, respectively, in Sep 2024. Just so you know, Hyundai is all set to introduce the facelifted version of the Ioniq 5 with longer driving range in early 2026 in India.

In all, despite the recent GST cuts and festive season benefits, Hyundai was dethroned from the second position by desi giants namely Mahindra and Tata. However, the Korean brand has lined-up a plethora of new models in the coming few months, which could help it in reclaiming the second position in the Indian automobile industry, which it has clinged on to for the longest period of time.
