Maruti Suzuki Retains Market Leadership

Maruti Suzuki continued to dominate India’s passenger vehicle market in 2025, selling 17,86,226 units during the year. The company accounted for nearly 40 percent of total passenger vehicle sales. While volumes rose year-on-year, its overall market share dipped slightly.

The Dzire emerged as the bestselling car of 2025, reinforcing Maruti Suzuki’s position at the top. Other high-performing models included the Wagon R, Ertiga, Swift, Fronx, and Brezza, all of which featured among the year’s top-selling vehicles and supported the brand’s overall volumes.

Mahindra Moves to Second Place

Mahindra secured the second position in 2025 with total sales of 5,92,771 units, raising its market share to 13.25 percent. The rise was driven by strong and sustained demand across its SUV portfolio.
Key contributors included the Scorpio, Thar, XUV700, XUV3XO, and Bolero, while newer models added incremental volumes. The introduction of the BE 6 and XEV 9e also contributed to growth, with electric vehicles accounting for around 7 percent of Mahindra’s total sales during the year.

Tata Motors Holds Third Spot Despite Share Dip

Tata Motors ranked third in 2025 with 5,67,607 units sold, translating to a market share of 12.68 percent. Despite maintaining its position, the company saw its share slip amid rising competition.

The Nexon, which was the third bestselling car of the year, and the Punch continued to anchor Tata’s volumes. During the year, Tata Motors expanded its SUV range with the launch of the Sierra, marking its entry into the midsize SUV segment and representing its most significant launch in several years.

Hyundai Slips to Fourth Place

Hyundai dropped from second place in 2024 to fourth in 2025, with total sales of 5,59,558 units and a market share of 12.5 percent.
The Creta remained the bestselling SUV in India and the second bestselling car overall, but slower growth across the rest of Hyundai’s line-up resulted in a lower overall ranking for the year.

Toyota Strengthens Position with Consistent Demand

Toyota sold 3,20,703 units in 2025, lifting its market share to 7.17 percent. Sales were supported by consistent demand for the Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross.
Additionally, Maruti rebadged models such as the Urban Cruiser Taisor, Glanza, and Urban Cruiser Hyryder contributed to Toyota’s growth during the year.

Kia Expands Line-up, Improves Share

Kia recorded sales of 2,59,043 units in 2025, with its market share rising to 5.79 percent.
The Seltos and Sonet led volumes for the brand. Kia also expanded its portfolio with the launch of the Syros, Carens Clavis, and a facelift for the EV6, strengthening its presence across segments.

What the 2025 Rankings Indicate

The 2025 sales rankings underline a year of strong overall demand in India’s passenger vehicle market, with SUVs continuing to shape buying trends. While Maruti Suzuki maintained a clear lead, Mahindra’s move to second place highlighted shifting competitive dynamics. Slower growth for some manufacturers led to changes in rankings, even as volumes remained robust across the industry. The data reflects how product portfolios and segment focus influenced performance through the year.

Material Prosperity and Responsible Use

The 2025 car sales rankings highlight rising purchasing power and access to material assets for many sections of society. Spiritual perspectives remind us that material prosperity, when it comes into one’s life, is often linked with destiny and circumstances. As explained by Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji, when resources and comforts are available, their Proper Use becomes important.

He teaches that material wealth should not lead to excess attachment, but should be balanced with Spiritual Awareness, social responsibility, and participation in Satsang. Bringing neighbours together for spiritual discussions and using resources constructively is described as a way to preserve one’s Bhakti Wealth, ensuring that material progress and inner growth move forward together in a balanced manner.
