India’s October 2026 chart was tight at the top. The Maruti Suzuki WagonR sold 23,747 units, ahead of the Brezza on 22,436 - a margin of 1,311 units. GaadiWaadi, which published the ranking on 9 November, says eight of the ten best-sellers grew year on year as the festive season began and production ramped up.
The Brezza is the mover. Its sales rose 86%, from 12,072 units in October 2025, a gain of 10,364 units. That one model accounts for about a third of the 31,005-unit combined increase across the ten, and GaadiWaadi describes it as recently facelifted. See the Maruti Suzuki Brezza page.
Best-selling passenger vehicles in India, October 2026, as reported by GaadiWaadi. Year-on-year change is against October 2025.
The middle of the table is closer still. Only 270 units separate the fourth-placed Baleno (20,919) from the Dzire (20,649), and the Ertiga sits eight units behind the Dzire on 20,641. Eight models cleared 20,000 units in the month; the Scorpio (19,353) and Swift (18,866) did not.
Maruti Suzuki holds seven of the ten places - WagonR, Brezza, Baleno, Dzire, Ertiga, Fronx and Swift - with 147,272 units between them, more than 70% of the ten models’ combined 209,116. That total compares with 178,111 a year earlier, an increase of 17.4%.
Tata Motors has two entries. The Nexon took third place on 21,966 units, down 1% on October 2025, while the Punch rose 22% to 20,525. Together the two sold 42,491. The Nexon and the Dzire were the only models in the top ten to record a year-on-year decline, both of 1%. The Mahindra Scorpio, up 8%, is the one place held by neither group.
One caveat on the numbers: the GaadiWaadi article does not say whether its figures are Vahan registrations or company-reported sales, so they are best compared with each other rather than with rankings from another source. And it is one festive-season month, which says little yet about where the chart settles.
