In December 2025, Maruti Suzuki Baleno topped the list leaving behind the Ford Focus, Nexon, DZire and Swift
In December 2025, Maruti Suzuki dominated the top 10 car sales list, where 7 of its vehicles were included. At the same time, Tata Motors and Mahindra also maintained their strong presence in the SUV segment. Topping the list was Maruti Suzuki Baleno, which has been the best-selling car in December 2025 with sales of 22,108 units.
Baleno sales registered a massive increase of 143 percent on an annual basis. Its strong retail demand, wide range of variants and popularity across different markets were the major reasons for its excellent performance. The second position was taken by Maruti Suzuki Swift, which sold 20,706 units and its sales almost doubled compared to December 2024.
Due to its SUV-style design and compact size, the Fronx has created its own identity in the market. It is believed that it may also become the first car of Maruti to get flex-fuel technology this year. Tata Nexon stood at third place, with 19,375 units sold. Nexon continues to be one of the most reliable compact SUVs in India.
