Maruti Leads India’s August Car Sales; Kia Returns Fifth

Maruti Suzuki sold the most passenger vehicles in India in August 2026.

It remained far ahead of the other brands.

Kia moved ahead of Toyota and returned to fifth place.

This shows that car-brand rankings can change quickly.

Six major car companies sold more vehicles than they did in the same month last year.

Only one company sold fewer vehicles.

Overall, the month was positive for India’s car market.

The rankings may become even more important as the festive season approaches.
