Indian utility vehicles (UVs), including SUVs and MPVs, have surpassed passenger cars in export volumes during the first five months of FY27, driven largely by Maruti Suzuki's strong presence. Domestically, SUVs dominate sales, yet the Maruti Suzuki Dzire sedan remains the top-selling model. Maruti Suzuki plans to expand its portfolio with seven new SUVs and five electric vehicles by 2031, pursuing a multi-powertrain strategy to address evolving market demands and cleaner mobility goals.
