Luxury car sales in top gear, but hatchbacks hit the brakes

Cut to the small car segment. Sales of Maruti Suzuki Alto, which once dominated sales charts across segments, halved year on year in the quarter ended September at about 24,000 units. Overall, sales of small cars (vehicles with length less than 3.6 metres) — already on the decline – crashed by 55% last quarter whereas sales of BMW X1 (which also comes in diesel and petrol options) grew 56% on year.
