Auto Premier League Round One: Car Winners Announced

If you’ve been following ZigWheels for a while, you must’ve bumped across our Auto Premier League championship. For those of you who haven’t, it’s a competition where you get to vote for your favourite cars and bikes and win exciting prizes. Head here to see all the terms and conditions of this contest. 

Now that Round 1 of the event is over and the winners have emerged, it is time to move on to the next round which is scheduled for June 10. Here are the winners for cars:

The above table is quite self explanatory. But here’s a quick brush up:

• Out of eight budget hatchbacks, four of them emerged as winners: Maruti Suzuki S-Presso, Wagon-R, Renault Kwid and Tata Tigor. We aren’t surprised to see all these names as all four of them are very much desired in the Indian market. 

• Moving up the band, the premium hatchback winners consist of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Toyota Glanza, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Tata Altroz, Maruti Suzuki Swift and the Hyundai Elite i20. The recently launched Altroz, with its impressive styling and safety, must have definitely caught buyers’ attention. We were also surprised to see the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Toyota Glanza twins emerge as winners. The next round will show us which one is better.

• In the compact SUV space, the winners are Jeep Compass, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki S-Cross, Tata Harrier and Mahindra Scorpio. We weren’t surprised to see the Creta, Seltos and Scorpio emerge as winners as they’re some of India’s highest selling models. But we were equally surprised to see the Jeep Compass and S-Cross emerge victorious, especially when they were up against some tough rivals. The Harrier must have had a cakewalk here.
