In the table of top 10 hatchbacks in January 2026, Maruti Suzuki Swift headed the way ahead of Baleno, WagonR, Alto, Tiago and Grand i10 Nios
In the first month of the new calendar year, some long-standing nameplates posted good growth while others witnessed notable declines. Leading the table was the Maruti Suzuki Swift which recorded 17,806 units in January 2026 with a modest 4 per cent year-on-year increase over 17,081 units in the same month last year.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno, however, experienced a contraction in volumes. Its domestic sales fell to 16,782 units compared to 19,965 units a year ago with a 16 per cent decline. Despite the drop, the Baleno continues to play a key role in Maruti’s premium hatchback portfolio. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R saw one of the sharpest declines among the group.
Its volume sales slipped 37 per cent year-on-year to 15,118 units from 24,078 units last month. In contrast, the Maruti Suzuki Alto managed to post an 8 per cent increase – reaching 12,314 units as it showed consistent demand in the entry-level segment. Tata Motors’ presence in the hatchback space can be really witnessed due to the Altroz and Tiago.
