The vehicle received an overwhelming response from car buyers, and the company has received a huge 56,000 pre-orders for the Elite i20 within 4 months of its launch. It was also the company’s top-selling product in November 2014.
The Elite i20 has managed to enter into the top 10 most selling cars in India within the second month of its launch. Last month, the company managed to sell 10,500 units of the hatchback making it the top selling hatchback in the B+ segment.
