9. Volkswagen Passat
The Volkswagen Passat has sold over 15 million (1.5 crore) units since 1973 to make it the 9th best selling car ever.
Volkswagen, Europe's largest car manufacturer, has also debuted in India with the Passat which is loaded with an incredible array of features that are not available in cars that are substantially more expensive.
Each little aspect of the car is thought out and the car is built to standards that are seen only in luxury models. Besides this, the 140 bhp 2.0-litre diesel motor mated to the state-of-the-art DSG gearbox means this is a fantastic car to drive as well. It costs over Rs 24 lakh (Rs 2.4 million) in India.
