In June 2025, the ever‑popular Wagon R set a steady pace with 12,930 sales, maintaining its place among India’s top-selling cars. That figure marks a 7.3% drop from May, yet it’s still strong for a city car at a time when small-car sales are slowing. Maruti’s wider report shows demand weakening for compact models, underscoring both the Wagon R’s enduring appeal and the challenges ahead.
