Maruti Suzuki Cars – The Number

One Choice of the Indian Car Buyer

Maruti is one of the iconic Indian brands that have been able to touch the lives of millions of Indians. If

there is an iconic Indian automobile brand, which is favoured by the Indians, it can be none other brand

than Maruti Suzuki. During its existence spanning over more than three decades now, this automaker

has persistently offered some great cars for the masses at relatively cheap rates. Earlier known as

Maruti Udyog Limited, Maruti Suzuki India Limited has become one of the most loved brands as far as

the average Indian car buyer is concerned. Even though it is a subsidiary of the Japanese carmaker

Suzuki Motor Corporation at present, Maruti has a market share of nearly 45% in the Indian passenger

car market presently. Currently, Maruti has a fleet of 16 models of cars with more than 150 variants

offered in the passenger car segment.

Most of the Maruti cars are recognized for their affordability and low maintenance expenses. The

company has presence across all passenger car segments like hatchbacks, sedans, compact sedans and

SUVs among others. Maruti dominates the compact car segment consisting of entry-level cars and

hatchbacks, with the others failing to catch up with it. Here is a quick look at some of the most

successful Maruti Suzuki cars.
