5 Reasons to Choose Maruti Suzuki Cars In India

Maruti Suzuki is a brand that needs no introduction and has earned a reputation for its reliability, affordability and efficiency during its over four decades of existence in India. Numbers are a testament to the same: the ‘Alto’ nameplate holds the title of the country’s most-bought four-wheeler, with over 4.5 million units sold in nearly 25 years. 

However, there is more than meets the eye and you may wonder in the sea of car brands if the above mentioned were enough to crack the Indian automotive market. Let’s dive a little deeper to find out top reasons to choose Maruti Suzuki Cars in India.

1. Affordability

The ‘affordability’ factor is at the forefront of Maruti cars right from the upfront cost to spare parts. As it is a mass-market brand, Suzuki can aggressively price their cars and offer discounts whenever possible. This becomes imperative to those who are considering a purchase only to commute from point A to B. 

No wonder cars like the Alto, Wagon R and Swift sell like hotcakes. Even if something were to go wrong while you were on the move, repairs are fairly cheap and service centres widely present across the length and breadth of the nation. 

Here’s a price list (as of May 27, 2024) of cars that Maruti Suzuki sells:

2. Low Maintenance

With most of the cars occupying a spot in the budget segment, Maruti played it smart in the maintenance side of things too. As their Maruti Genuine Parts (MGP) components are affordable and available at their pan-India service centres, it becomes very convenient to get these services under one roof. Maruti customers also get a dedicated smartphone app to keep track of their service history. 

You also have to appreciate the fact that for a manufacturer producing over 2.25 million cars, they take customer feedback with utmost seriousness and the overall rating from customers has been satisfactory. Savings in the long run, as a result, are on the higher side. 

3. Resale Value

Though at one point diesel iterations of cars like the Swift and Brezza were all the rage, stricter emission norms have led to their discontinuation. However, they remain to be in superb demand in the second-hand market because of the value proposition they promise. The same is true when it comes to demand for its petrol cars in a lineup that starts from hatchbacks to MUVs, offering a wide range of cars to choose from. 

The Japanese are anyway famous for their reliability and Suzuki banks on that heavily, boosting the value of their products. It is always best to save on that upfront cost if you are getting a mechanically sound car.

4. Mileage

Next up is mileage and Maruti Suzuki passes the test with flying colours. Additionally, the cherry on top is CNG and hybrid technology. Cars like the Alto K10 and Celerio in the petrol guise make 24.39 kmpl and 25.24 kmpl, while their CNG counterparts boast a fuel efficiency of 33.85 kmkg and 34.43 kmkg, respectively. 

Because of such highly fuel-efficient cars in the lineup, buyers in this era of electric vehicles still prefer to opt for an ICE car as they are easy on the pocket and don’t have range and charging anxieties.
