Analysed 19 Jun 2026·5 sources analysed·India·Business
Maruti Suzuki Swift Tops India's Used Car Market Across Metro and Non-Metro AreasPreviousNext

The Maruti Suzuki Swift is India's most popular used car across both metro and non-metro markets, holding a 4.93% share of used car transactions nationally in 2025. It leads with 5% in metros and 4.80% in non-metros, outperforming the nearest competitors like the Wagon R and Swift Dzire. Buyers often choose the Swift as a first car or a reliable replacement when older vehicles become costly to maintain. Preferences diverge beyond the top spot, with metro buyers favoring models like Honda City and Baleno, while non-metro buyers prefer value-oriented cars such as the Swift Dzire and Alto.
