Maruti Suzuki WagonR becomes best-selling car for 4th consecutive year

Maruti Suzuki India Limited has declared that the WagonR emerged as the top-selling vehicle in the fiscal year 2024-2025. The company recorded sales of 198,451 units during this period, marking the WagonR as the leading car for four consecutive financial years: FY 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. To date, over 3.37 million units of the WagonR have been sold, with Maruti noting that one in every four customers opts to repurchase this model.

The WagonR stands out as one of the most favored nameplates in the Indian automotive market. It has played a significant role in surpassing competitors such as the Tata Indica, Daewoo Matiz, and Hyundai Santro, all of which have been discontinued. Despite being available in India for 25 years, the WagonR continues to thrive.

Initially, the WagonR faced lukewarm reception due to its boxy design and aesthetics. However, its spacious interior, fuel efficiency, and dependability ultimately contributed to its rise in popularity, transforming it into a household name.
