Sales of Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 increased by 112%; the model is equipped with 6 airbags and costs 3.69 lakh

July was a month of significant sales for Maruti. The growth recorded meant that the Tata Punch, which was the top seller in June, could only enter the top 5 in July. Among the five best-selling cars in July, four models were from Maruti Suzuki.

The Maruti Suzuki WagonR attracts particular attention, having become the second best-selling car in July. A total of 23,791 units of this model were sold during the month. Sales increased by 59 percent compared to July of last year, when the company sold 14,710 units.

The appeal of the WagonR is due to its high fuel efficiency, low cost, and practicality. The starting price of the car is 4,98,900 rupees for the body with an exhibition price. The car is available in various color options, and its top variant is presented in a two-tone scheme.

To enhance safety, Maruti has equipped this model with six standard airbags, providing improved protection compared to previous versions. Additionally, the car integrates safety features such as electronic stability control, lane keeping assist, and ABS, which are available even in the base configuration.

The WagonR can be purchased on petrol or compressed natural gas (CNG). The company recently released a flexible fuel option. The model is equipped with a 1.2-liter petrol engine that generates 66.9 kW of power, and it can be bought with a manual or automatic transmission (ASG). The base version is fitted with a 1-liter petrol engine that produces 50.4 kW of power and 91.1 Nm of torque.

Tata Motors has announced that its compact crossover, the Tata Punch, has reached the milestone of 800 thousand units sold. This model achieved this feat in less than five years after its launch in October 2021. Thanks to this success, the Tata Punch has become the fastest-selling crossover to reach five hundred thousand units.

The Tata Punch is available in three variants: ICE (Internal Combustion Engine), CNG, and EV. The internal combustion engine models and electric versions are highly popular. This success occurred during a period of high demand for crossovers.

Overall, it ranked fifth in terms of sales volume in the Indian market. Sales of the model are expected to increase further during the upcoming festive season.

Its appeal is due to the crossover's style, the availability of several powertrain options, a well-equipped cabin, and a high level of safety, making it a favorite among buyers. The vehicle is available in petrol, turbocharged petrol, CNG, and electric versions.

Over the last 12 months, 218 thousand units of this car have been sold. In July 2026, 21,313 units were sold, and over the last three months, sales have exceeded 20 thousand units per month.
