Top 10 Best-Selling Cars In India In Oct'26: Wagon R Leads, Brezza Climbs To Second Spot

India's passenger vehicle sales charts saw familiar winners but surprising challengers in October 2026. While the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R continued its reign as the country's best-selling car, the Brezza emerged as one of the month's biggest gainers, climbing to second place with strong demand. The latest rankings also underline Maruti Suzuki's dominance, with seven models featuring in the top 10, even as SUVs continued to strengthen their hold on the market, led by the Brezza, Tata Nexon, Tata Punch, and Hyundai Creta.

Brezza Records 86% YoY Growth

One of the biggest surprises in October was the performance of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. The compact SUV climbed to the second position with sales of 22,436 units, marking a massive 86 per cent growth over October 2025. The strong showing helped the Brezza overtake several traditionally strong-selling models, including the Tata Nexon.
