Maruti Tata Hyundai Hatchback Cars Sale: Hatchback cars continue to have strong demand in India, but some models are struggling in sales for different reasons. According to the April sales report, Maruti Suzuki sold good numbers of WagonR, Baleno, Swift, and S-Presso, while sales of the Alto K10 dropped compared to previous months. Tata Motors also saw a sharp fall in sales of the pre-facelift Tiago as buyers are now waiting for the launch of the new Tata Tiago Facelift. At the same time, Hyundai Motor India’s affordable hatchback, the Grand i10 Nios, recorded a major year-on-year sales decline, showing weaker demand in the segment.
