The month of November saw a dip in the sales of passenger vehicles from October, but many manufacturers still recorded a positive year-on-year growth. Like always, the Top 10 sales chart was dominated by Maruti Suzuki, but the leading automobile manufacturer in the country recorded a 2.4% de-growth in year-on-year sales. Several other manufacturers like Hyundai, Tata, Kia and Mahindra recorded significant improvement in year-on-year sales. Let's take a closer look at what were India's top-10 best selling cars of November 2020.
Passenger vehicle sales in November actually improved by 8.8% over November 2019, with a total of 2,86,476 vehicles sold. Maruti Suzuki dominated the chart with as many as seven cars in the list of top-10 best selling cars of November 2020. Leading the chart was the Maruti Suzuki Swift with a total of 18,489 units sold. That however is a de-growth of 4% from November 2019, when Maruti sold 19,314 units of the Swift. Following the Swift, all other cars in the top-5 were again Maruti Suzuki models.

The Maruti Suzuki Eeco and the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga wrap up the top-10 list at eight and tenth positions respectively. Both the Eeco and the Ertiga managed to record a growth of 10% and 27% respectively. So these were the best selling cars of November 2020 and buying sentiment thus currently seems quite positive.
