Maruti Suzuki Dzire leads 2025 car sales
In 2025, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire was the best-selling car in India, with over 2.14 lakh units sold.
This is impressive because more and more people are buying SUVs, which made up more than half of all car sales.
Other popular cars included the Hyundai Creta and Tata Nexon, both SUVs.
Even though SUVs are becoming more popular, smaller cars like the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R and Swift still sold well.
Maruti Suzuki expects this trend to continue, with SUVs growing even more in 2026, but smaller, more affordable cars will still be important.
The company is also seeing more first-time buyers thanks to lower taxes and easier financing.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire was the top-selling car in India in 2025 with 2.14 lakh units sold.
SUVs accounted for 55.3% of total car sales in 2025, with models like Hyundai Creta and Tata Nexon selling over 2 lakh units each.
Maruti Suzuki's SUV contribution rose to 30.7% in Q3 2025, up from 25.9% in the first half of the year.
Non-SUV models like the Wagon R, Swift, and Ertiga also performed well, with sales ranging from 1.89 lakh to 1.94 lakh units.
Maruti Suzuki expects a more diversified demand mix in 2026, with SUVs expanding further but value-led hatchbacks and sedans continuing to play a critical role.
