In this June 2024 Maruti Suzuki cars sales analysis article, we’ll look at the car sales of Arena and Nexa. We’ll also compare the YoY and MoM change to find out which Maruti cars sales improved and which ones declined. To support the trends, we’ll also provide our insights where applicable.
June 2024 — Maruti Suzuki Car Sales Figures – YoY Change
Once again, Swift holds on to the top spot in the Maruti portfolio, but in June 2024, it barely got past the Creta (16,293). Moreover, the overall top selling tag now goes to the Punch (18,238) with a healthy lead over the Creta and Swift. The good news for Maruti is that unlike other carmakers, they are not betting everything on one horse. Even the Ertiga performed well in June 2024 factory dispatches.
Moreover, they have 7 cars with a 5-figure dispatch figure in June 2024 while Hyundai and Mahindra have one and Tata have two. The fact that among these 7 cars, they have only 1 SUV speaks volumes about their ability to maintain consistent performance even though they’re not riding high on the SUV tide.

Performance-Based Insights
Top 3 Performers (June 2024 Sales)
-
Swift (16,422)
-
Ertiga (15,902)
-
Baleno (14,492)
Top 3 Gainers (YoY % Change)
The list of YoY gainers is completely shocking for the following 3 reasons:
-
Ertiga (+88.82%): Ertiga posted a crazy 89% growth, which is difficult to understand for a car, which relies heavily on fleet sales. Fleet demand isn’t as volatile passenger car demand.
-
Dzire (+43.97%): Dzire is posting a 44% jump even though it’s nearing its end of life and waiting for a generation change.
-
Brezza (+24.52%): Brezza is recording a substantial gain of almost 25% despite the introduction of the well-priced, well-equipped 3XO. The Nexon and Venue, both witnessed a YoY drop in their June 2024 factory dispatches. Meanwhile, Maruti are introducing special editions of the Brezza for the first time since the current generation went on sale. Special editions are usually reserved as backup ammo, to be used when the sales start showing signs of dwindling.
Something is not adding up.
Top 3 Losers (YoY % Change)
The dropping numbers of the S-Presso are difficult to understand as Maruti played their cards right with this micro crossover. Together with the drop in Alto sales, it looks like Maruti are looking to focus on high-price-high-margin cars like the Vitara, Ertiga and Invicto.
Speaking of high-price-high-margin cars, Jimny witnessed a drop of 84% in its YoY dispatches. The greed to go with high margins worked handsomely with the Fronx, which costs substantially more than the Baleno for the additional equipment it offers. But that overconfidence backfired with the Jimny pricing. The Jimny came at a time when you could buy the diesel Thar 1.5L RWD and get far superior torque, efficiency and road presence for a much lower price. The Jimny just wasn’t a match for the Thar’s dominance.
While Maruti Suzuki have cut down the Jimny’s production drastically since December 2023, even with 3-digit sales figures, the demand is just not there. Back in December, Maruti brought an offer of Rs. 2.0 lakh on the Jimny. Although, some dealers were offering a discount of about Rs. 3.0 lakh at the time. Now, the discounts are back and the Jimny is once again available with Rs. 2.80 lakh discounts.
This time, the Rs. 2.80 lakh offers are straight from Maruti. So, there’s still room for some negotiation with the dealer and get discounts closer to Rs. 3.5 lakh or may be even higher. The big discounts to compensate for poor product-market-fit had made potential customers wary of buying the car as it may go down even further in price. Moreover, there’s the risk of product discontinuation, which is always seen as a big negative from the consumer POV.
God bless Jimny. God bless Maruti Suzuki.
