Tata Nexon

The Tata Nexon continued to be the bestseller with 22,434 units sold in November 2025, marking a robust 46% year-on-year growth from 15,329 units. 

The Nexon offers a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 118 BHP of power and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel with 113 BHP, mated to manual, AMT, or DCT transmissions. A CNG variant is also available for better efficiency. 

It has earned a 5-star rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP, featuring six airbags and electronic stability control as standard. Prices range from ₹8.00 lakh to ₹14.15 lakh ex-showroom.

Maruti Suzuki Dzire

Maruti’s most popular sedan, the Dzire, claimed second place, selling 21,082 units in November 2025, an impressive 79% jump from 11,779 units last year. It is the only sedan in this list.

Powered by Maruti’s new 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z-Series petrol engine delivering 80 bhp with manual or AMT options, it also includes a CNG variant (69 BHP) for budget-conscious buyers. 

The Dzire became Maruti’s first car to score 5 stars in both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP, with standard features like six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, and hill-hold. Its ex-showroom price spans ₹6.26 lakh to ₹9.31 lakh, making it a value pick for city commuters.
