Notably, all top ten hatchbacks, except for the Swift, Baleno, and its rebadged counterpart Glanza, saw a year-on-year decrease in sales. This trend suggests a general decline in hatchback popularity as more customers shift towards compact SUVs. The Tata Altroz registered 3,937 units in sales, a decrease from 7,250 units in the same period last year, marking a 46% year-on-year decline and placing it in ninth position.
The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios secured seventh place with 4,948 units sold, down from 6,321 units, reflecting a 22% decrease in sales. Tata recently revamped the Altroz lineup by removing certain variants and introducing the new top-spec Altroz Racer trim a few weeks ago. The Altroz Racer features a performance-oriented 1.2L three-cylinder turbo petrol engine that delivers 120 PS of power and 170 Nm of torque. It comes mated to a six-speed manual transmission only.
