Maruti Suzuki closed December 2025 with the Baleno leading its wholesale sales, as demand returned to compact cars. The hatchback topped the dispatch chart at 22,108 units, ahead of the Fronx, Dzire, and Tata Nexon.
The result extended a recovery trend that began during the festive season. Maruti Suzuki linked the shift to lower taxes under the GST 2.0 regime and year-end offers.
Maruti Suzuki’s December 2025 wholesale ranking showed compact nameplates taking the top positions. The Baleno led with 22,108 units, while the Fronx followed at 20,700 units.
The Dzire placed third with 19,100 units, and the Swift followed with 18,800 units. The Brezza rounded out the top five at 17,700 units, keeping utility vehicles in the mix.
The December lead contrasted with the full-year picture. For calendar year 2025, the Dzire led Maruti Suzuki volumes at close to 2.14 lakh units.
December also highlighted entry-level demand. Maruti Suzuki dispatched about 10,000 Alto units, including about 4,000 S-Presso units.
Maruti Suzuki attributed the compact car rebound to the GST rate reduction for smaller cars. Lower sticker prices improved affordability and supported inquiries for hatchbacks and compact sedans.
Dealers also benefited from December discount campaigns aimed at clearing MY2025 inventory. As a result, models like Baleno, Fronx, Dzire, and Swift regained share during a market that still favors SUVs.
