Toyota (+52.8%) and Volkswagen (+123.4%) score the largest gains in the Top 10 but Renault (-50.4%), Honda (-45.4%) and MG (-40.4%) implode. Nissan (+1413.9%) is lifted by the Magnite with Skoda (+108%) and Jeep (+48.4%) also managing year-on-year upticks.
Model-wise, the Maruti Wagon R (+3.7%) climbs three spots on October to snap the pole position both for the month and YTD, followed by the Maruti Swift (-21.2%) now also #2 YTD. The Maruti Alto (-9.8%) is down two ranks to #3 while the Maruti Vitara Brezza (+37.3%) leaps up 8 spots to #4. The Hyundai Creta (-14.3%) is also up 8 to #5, whereas the Maruti Baleno (-44.4%) freefalls in 6th place and loses its YTD pole position.
