With 8 out of the top 10 best-selling passenger vehicles in 2021, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd continues to carry the title of largest-selling carmaker in the country by a huge margin
Founded almost 41 years ago, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (formerly Maruti Udyog Limited) has been the country's largest-selling carmaker for time immemorial. Its popularity can be gauged from the fact that in 2021, as many as 8 out of the top 10 best selling passenger cars came from the house of Maruti Suzuki. In fact, in spite of its high popularity, it's the first time that it has achieved this feat.

The eight Maruti Suzuki models that feature in the top 10 best-selling cars list of 2021 include WagonR, Swift, Baleno, Alto 800, Dzire, Vitara Brezza, Eeco and Ertiga. While other models have been a regular feature on the list of best-sellers, it's for the first time that the Ertiga has made it to this list.
Interestingly, the top four slots on the list of 10 best-sellers have been occupied by hatchbacks. The WagonR, which is in its third generation now and sold 183,851 copies, was the highest-selling car in 2021. It was followed by Swift and Baleno with a total sale of 175,052 and 172,241 units, respectively. The eight Maruti Suzuki models that made it to the list of top 10 best-sellers make up for over 83% of the total volumes of top 10 selling models and almost 38% of the total passenger vehicle sales volumes in 2021.
