Hatchbacks Segment April 2022 Car Sales - YoY Change

Maruti Suzuki may not have a strong grip in the SUV and sedan segment, but they have the hatchbacks under their command
This is evident as Maruti Suzuki have 6 of the top 7 bestselling hatchbacks
The WagonR is a money-minting machine for Maruti Suzuki as it maintains its top spot with very little marketing expenditure
After the recent update, the Baleno is yet to gain ground as its sales are down 33.2% YoY
Baleno, Alto and Swift are some of the top losers among hatchbacks for Maruti Suzuki in April 2021
The Celerio is off to a good start after the generation change
The Honda Jazz is the worst-selling hatchback in April 2022 managing a small figure of just 472 units
Even Polo, which is known to be on its way out is managing to outsell the Jazz
We may see the Jazz exit our market if it continues to perform poorly
The Glanza registered some YoY growth after the generation change as it’s now available in all 4 variants, which improves the affordability of the car
