Maruti Suzuki sales rise 20% in October to 2,12,384 units, with WagonR leading

Maruti Suzuki has released its sales figures for October 2026, once again underlining its dominance in the Indian automobile market. The company sold a total of 2,12,384 vehicles during the month, against 1,76,318 units in October 2025. This marks a 20 per cent year-on-year increase. Sales of several of the company's popular models also rose sharply.

The hatchback WagonR led the sales, beating models such as the Swift, Baleno and Brezza to the top spot with 23,747 units. In October 2025, 18,970 units of the car were sold, which means WagonR sales grew 25 per cent this time.

Its affordable price and good mileage have been cited as the main reasons for the WagonR's popularity. The car's starting price is Rs 4.99 lakh. Even its base variant comes with six airbags for safety, while the CNG model delivers a mileage of more than 34.05 km per kg.

October was a highly successful month for Maruti. The Brezza sold 22,436 units, with its sales up 86 per cent year-on-year. The Baleno was third with 20,919 units, a 24 per cent increase. The Dzire sold 20,649 units. The Ertiga sold 20,641 units, up 3 per cent, and the Fronx sold 20,014 units, up 18 per cent.

The Swift sold 18,866 units, a 21 per cent increase. Alto sales rose 86 per cent to 11,523 units. The biggest jump came in the Celerio, whose sales grew 248 per cent to 4,607 units. Other models, including the Jimny, S-Presso and Invicto, are also on sale in the market.
