Dzire Dominates: Sedan Sells More Than All Rivals Combined
23 Nov
Summary
- Maruti Dzire outsold all other sedans combined from January to October 2025.
- The new Dzire's 5-star safety ratings significantly boosted its popularity.
- CNG variants are a major driver for Dzire's success with fleet operators.
The Maruti Dzire has achieved a remarkable feat, outselling all other sedans in India combined during the first ten months of 2025. With 174,334 units sold, it has surpassed the collective sales of nine other sedan models, which managed 142,456 units in the same period. This performance positions the Dzire as not only the top-selling sedan but also a strong contender for India's largest-selling single car model in 2025, challenging the dominance of SUVs.
The success of the fourth-generation Dzire, launched in November 2024, is attributed to its strong appeal to both personal buyers and fleet operators. A crucial factor is its recently acquired 5-star safety ratings from Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP, addressing growing consumer concerns about vehicle safety. Furthermore, its fuel-efficient CNG variants are highly sought after by fleet businesses, reportedly accounting for 30-35% of its sales.
This surge in demand has helped the Dzire surpass its own previous annual sales records. Experts note that the sedan market has transformed into a near monopoly for the Dzire. Factors like the discontinuation of the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and the lack of factory-fitted CNG options in competitors like the Honda Amaze have further consolidated the Dzire's leading position, especially in a market increasingly favoring CNG vehicles.
