In September’19, Tata Nexon recorded sales of 2,842 units in comparison to the 6,007 units sold previous month. The sales have doubled by nearly 2.5 times.

The first position is taken up by the latest debutant Kia Sonet, registering more than 9,000 units sold. The second place is taken by Vitara Brezza and then Hyundai Venue.
