Between January 2024 and July 2024, the sales of Tata Punch were higher than WagonR. In the first seven months of the year, 1,26,000 units of Tata Punch were sold. The WagonR lagged behind the Punch in terms of sales during this period.
New Delhi. A big change has been seen in the automobile market of India. Tata Motors’ micro SUV Punch has overtaken the country’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki’s popular car WagonR to become the country’s best-selling car. This is a historic achievement as Maruti Suzuki held this top position for many years. Tata Punch sold 1,26,000 units between January 2024 and July 2024. At the same time, 1.16 units of WagonR were sold. Punch has overtaken WagonR by offering alternative fuel options, SUV-like features at an affordable price and creating a new category in the micro SUV segment.
After the success of Tata Motors, other companies are also entering the multi-fuel segment. Hyundai’s Xter is also becoming a popular option. Maruti Suzuki’s WagonR is also available with a CNG option, but its sales have not increased like the Punch. However, other Maruti cars like Brezza and Ertiga are also available with CNG option and their sales have also increased. In the coming time, the choice of customers is changing and they are now preferring fuel efficient and environmentally friendly cars. In such a situation, the micro SUV segment is expected to grow even more.
