Maruti Grand Vitara Accounts For 20 Percent Of Maruti NEXA Sales In India

• The Maruti Grand Vitara is the carmaker’s first strong-hybrid offering in India.

The Maruti Grand Vitara was launched in September 2022 as the carmaker's first strong-hybrid model in India. Since then, this compact SUV has been one of the top-selling models in its segment, and it also accounts for 20 percent of the total Nexa sales for the past year,  sold alongside the Maruti Baleno, Maruti Fronx, and more. It recently completed a year on sale in India, and has also achieved a sales milestone of 1 lakh units. We have also done a one-year recap of the Grand Vitara’s journey in India, which you can read here.

On the milestone achievement, Mr. Shashank Srivastava, senior executive officer, marketing & sales, Maruti Suzuki India, said, "The testament to the model’s profound impact on Maruti Suzuki’s standing in the SUV market is the ten awards that it has bagged since the launch and its contribution to nearly 20% of NEXA’s overall sales. We extend heartfelt gratitude for an enthusiastic response from our valuable customers and hold optimistic expectations that this SUV will continue to spread the joy of mobility to countless more."
