For a long time, Maruti Suzuki has been the most popular and best-selling car brand in India. While its best-selling cars usually remain the same, their rankings do shuffle at the end of every month. Like every month, more than half of the best-selling cars were Maruti cars in May 2025, as the Maruti Dzire maintained its top rank. Let’s take a closer look at the top-selling Maruti cars and learn how the Maruti Dzire once again became the best-selling Maruti car.
Why is the Maruti Dzire the Best-Selling Maruti Car in May 2025?
Not only is the Maruti Dzire the best-selling Maruti car, but it is also the best-selling car and the best-selling sedan in India. This makes its performance even more special, considering that sedans are the least popular segment today. As far as sales are concerned, the Dzire sells more units than the combined sales of all its rivals. For your reference, the second-best-selling sedan is the Hyundai Aura, which has sold 5,225 units, while the Dzire sold 18,084 units in May 2025.
Such a massive popularity of the Dzire is driven by high dependability, high fuel efficiency, and high resale value. Three factors that attract buyers across the nation, and not just in metropolitan cities. Compared to its rivals, Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze, and Tata Tigor, the Dzire is the best five-seater and offers an impressive level of comfort. The other and even more factor that favours the Dzire a great deal is its low running cost, which is essentially a combination of cheap maintenance costs, high fuel efficiency, and the wide service network of Maruti. Moreover, the Dzire is not only a popular family car but also one of the most preferred choices for taxi businesses, which adds a great deal to the Dzire’s gross sales.
