When it comes to the Indian automobile industry, the Indo-Japanese carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, has been ruling the roost for a long time. Recently, the GST reforms made the Maruti cars, which are already known for their economic character and affordability, even more affordable. This greatly boosted Maruti cars’ sales. In January 2026, while most of the best-selling Maruti cars were the same as they were in December 2025, there were some interesting updates. For example, the Maruti Dzire became the best-selling Maruti car, and the Maruti Grand Vitara dropped off the list. Let’s take a closer look at the top-selling Maruti cars and learn how the Maruti Dzire became the best-selling Maruti car.
Why is the Maruti Dzire the Best-Selling Maruti Car in January 2026?
Not only is the Maruti Dzire the best-selling Maruti car, but it is also the second-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. 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, the 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. As a matter of fact, the Dzire is one of the few cars that sell their CNG models more than their petrol models.
