Tata has been making consistent improvements with its cars being known for its safety and comfort. Next up in our list is the The Tata Punch, which rocks a solid micro-SUV design and boasting an affordable price, it competes head-to-head with other SUVs in its sector, like the Maruti Suzuki Ignis, Mahindra KUV100, and even the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite. Punch is powered by an all-natural three-cylinder, 1.2-liter engine generating 86 horsepower and 113 Nm of maximum torque. Starting prices are Rs 5.99 lakh.
#8 | Ertiga | Cars Sold- 1,21,541 |
Small adjustments, including the interior's Metallic Teak Wooden finish, helped the Ertiga appear a little more upscale. The car also got a facelift in April. The new engine, though, was the major modification. The 1.5-liter Dual jet engine has a maximum output of 103 horsepower and a maximum torque of 136 Nm. It also features start-stop technology for increased fuel efficiency. The Indian firm debuted the technology on its larger engines this time.

Comparing with the numbers for 2021, the business sold 1,66,233 units. The hatchback’s ranking could increase as long as Maruti Suzuki manages to sell at least 13,000 more units. The Alto K10 was newly introduced this year with updated styling and a larger engine. The vehicle now has the same 1-litre engine that powers Maruti's Celerio, the company's other tiny hatchback.

Remember that December's sales are not included in the 1.56 lakh Nexon units that have been sold so far this year. The EV and the EV Max have also helped the Tata Nexon perform incredibly well. In addition to electric drive trains, the Nexon offers both Petrol and Diesel engine choices. The 1.5-liter turbo-diesel cranks out 110 hp of power and 260 Nm of torque, while the 1.2-liter turbo-petrol can produce 120 hp of maximum power and 170 Nm of peak torque. The Global NCAP ratings organisation gave the Tata Nexon the first five-star safety certification for an automobile built in India which is again a big plus. The starting price is Rs 7.69 lakh.
