Best-Selling SUVs in September 2026
The Nexon and the Punch sold almost the same number, 20,456 and 20,333, and both counts include their electric versions. Four of the six are under four metres long, which keeps them easy to park, while the Creta and the seven seat Scorpio N are the bigger family picks. Maruti's brochure lists six airbags and ESP on every Brezza.

Best-Selling Sedans in September 2026
Sedans are a smaller market, and the Dzire alone sold more than the next five put together, with 17,754 units. It has a 382 litre boot and a factory CNG option with a manual or an AMT. The new Tata Aeris joined the list in its first month of dispatches at 2,406, with six airbags on every variant and a 419 litre boot.

Best-Selling MPVs and MUVs in September 2026
If you need seven seats, the Ertiga is the clear favourite with 16,911 sold, more than twice the Innova Hycross and Crysta combined. It starts at ₹8.90 lakh with a 1.5 litre petrol, and there is a factory CNG option. The Triber is the cheapest seven seater here at ₹5.81 lakh, while the XL6 swaps the middle bench for two captain chairs.
Sales tell you what thousands of buyers settled on after their own research and test drives. A car that sells in big numbers is also easy to service, because every city has workshops and spare parts for it, and it is simpler to sell later.
Sales are wholesale figures for September 2026 as reported by the manufacturers, meaning the cars each maker sent to its dealers. The Nexon, Punch and Creta figures include their electric versions, and the Scorpio figure counts the Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic together.
Most bought under ₹10 lakh
Best Cars Under ₹10 Lakh
Cars that start between ₹5 lakh and ₹10 lakh, most popular first.
More cars start between ₹5 lakh and ₹10 lakh ex-showroom than in any other price band, 37 models in all. We put the ones people buy most at the front. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno leads with 25,392 sold in September 2026, ahead of the Nexon and the Punch.
A starting price under ₹10 lakh does not mean every variant fits. Each card tells you how many variants stay under ₹10 lakh and names the most loaded one that does, so you can see how far up the range your money reaches.
Remember the price on the road is higher than the ex-showroom price. In Bangalore, the Baleno’s ₹5.99 lakh base version comes to about ₹7.17 lakh once RTO tax and insurance are added. So if ₹10 lakh is your total budget there, look at variants up to about ₹8.4 lakh ex-showroom. Road tax differs from state to state, so check the on-road price for your own city.

Look at range first. It is how far a full battery goes in the official test. Tata rates the Tiago EV at 226 km with its 19.2 kWh battery and 285 km with the 24 kWh one, while the Punch EV’s 40 kWh battery is rated at 468 km. Expect less in real driving, especially at highway speed with the air conditioning on.
Charging at home is what makes an EV cheap to run. On a 7.2 kW home wallbox, the Tiago EV’s 24 kWh battery fills in about 3.5 hours. On the road, a 65 kW fast charger takes the Punch EV from 20 to 80 percent in 26 minutes. If you cannot charge where you park, a petrol, CNG or hybrid car may suit you better for now.
Lowest prices
Cheapest Cars in India Under ₹5 Lakh
Every car that starts under ₹5 lakh ex-showroom, cheapest first.
Seven cars start under ₹5 lakh. The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is the cheapest at ₹3.50 lakh, followed by the Alto K10 at ₹3.70 lakh and the Renault Kwid at ₹4.52 lakh. For most of them only the lower variants stay under ₹5 lakh, and each card shows how many do.
Check safety before you pick on price. Maruti’s brochures list six airbags and ESP, which helps stop a skid, on every Alto K10, Celerio and WagonR, while the S-Presso gets two airbags with ESP. The Kwid gives every buyer an 8 inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
All of these run on small 1.0 or 1.2 litre petrol engines, and most also come with a factory fitted CNG kit. CNG costs less per kilometre than petrol, which adds up quickly if you drive every day.

Find Cars by Budget, Fuel and Gearbox
Each list is filtered from live prices, so a car only appears if its starting price fits.
Start with the total you can spend, then decide the fuel. Petrol suits short city trips, CNG gives the lowest running cost, diesel pays off if you drive long distances every week, and a hybrid saves fuel in traffic. If your daily drive is mostly stop and go, an automatic makes it far less tiring.
