Top 10 Selling Cars Of September 2021 – Alto, Seltos, Baleno, Altroz And More

The list of top 10 cars sold in India has seen significant shifts in the month of September as several mass-market automakers registered a decline in their sales last month due to the global semiconductor chip crisis. Usually, Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motors dominate the top 10 charts. However, this time, the Kia India and Tata Motors also made their way to the top-selling cars list, whereas the all-time best-selling Maruti Suzuki Swift, Dzire, and Vitara Brezza slipped from the list. So without further ado, let's take a look at the top 10 selling cars of September 2021: –
