Next on this list is the Swift hatchback, which emerged as the third bestseller despite a drop of 14 per cent. The company sold 16,440 units of the Swift last month as against 19,108 units sold in January 2022. Back in August 2022, Maruti Suzuki introduced the Swift CNG which has regenerated interest among new car buyers.

Maruti Suzuki Baleno
