Baleno – 25,392 units | 93% YoY growth Baleno was Maruti Suzuki's highest-selling model in September 2026, almost doubling its volumes from 13,173 units in September 2025. Its 61% MoM growth was equally noteworthy, with volumes rising by 9,646 units over August. The premium hatchback was the single largest contributor to Maruti Suzuki's overall YoY volume increase.
Fronx – 19,282 units | 40% YoY growth Fronx secured second place with sales of 19,282 units, up from 13,767 units a year earlier. It also registered 3% sequential growth, underlining its importance in Maruti Suzuki's crossover portfolio.
Wagon R – 18,835 units | 22% YoY growth Wagon R maintained a strong position among the company's best-selling models, with a 22% annual increase. However, sales declined by 7% compared with August 2026.

Swift – 17,399 units | 12% YoY growth Swift sales increased by 12% annually, although volumes declined by 12% from August's 19,832 units. The difference between annual and monthly trends indicates that the hatchback performed better than a year earlier but lost some momentum sequentially.

Brezza – 15,685 units | 54% YoY growth Brezza registered a healthy 54% YoY increase, with sales rising from 10,173 units to 15,685 units. Monthly growth of 3% suggested relatively stable sequential demand.
Victoris – 13,111 units | 208% YoY growth Victoris recorded the highest reported YoY percentage growth among models with sales in both comparison periods. Its volumes more than tripled from 4,261 units to 13,111 units. Sequential growth was a modest 1%.

e Vitara – 1,342 units Maruti Suzuki's electric SUV, the e Vitara, registered sales of 1,342 units in September 2026. With no corresponding sales in September 2025, a YoY comparison is not applicable. However, volumes declined by 15% from 1,586 units in August 2026.
Jimny – 544 units | 84% YoY growth Jimny recorded 544 units in September 2026, compared with 296 units in the corresponding month last year, registering 84% YoY growth. Nevertheless, sales declined by 7% from 586 units in August, indicating limited sequential momentum.

Month-on-month volumes also increased by 27% from 214 units in August, making it one of the few models to deliver double-digit growth across both periods.
S-Presso – 55 units | 97% YoY decline S-Presso witnessed a sharp contraction, with sales falling from 1,774 units in September 2025 to just 55 units in September 2026, representing a 97% YoY decline. Sequential sales also dropped by 49% from 107 units in August, making it the weakest-performing Maruti Suzuki model among those recording sales during the month.
Ignis – 0 units | 100% YoY decline Ignis recorded no sales in September 2026, compared with 1,704 units in September 2025. This represents a complete contraction in reported monthly volumes, with no sales recorded in August 2026 either.
Ciaz – 0 units | No sales recorded Ciaz registered no sales in September 2026, consistent with September 2025 and August 2026. Consequently, there was no contribution from the sedan to Maruti Suzuki's overall monthly sales volumes.
Auto Punditz Take
Maruti Suzuki's 37% annual growth is impressive, but Baleno's sharp monthly jump accounted for more than the company's entire net sequential increase. Whether the manufacturer can sustain this pace will depend on more consistent contributions from its other high-volume models in the coming months.
