Compared to June 2025, though, when it had shipped 1,18,906 cars, it logged a 16% increment in sales in July 2025.

The Dzire was Maruti Suzuki’s best-selling model in India last month. The company sold 20,895 units of the sub-4 metre sedan, 79% more than in the same month of the previous year (11,647 units). The superb growth was driven by the full redesign in November last year. On the other hand, the Ciaz, the company’s only other sedan, saw a 71% year-over-year decline, dropping from 603 units to 173 units, as it cleared the last remaining stock.

Among hatchbacks, the Wagon R was in the lead, registering 14,710 units. The Swift wasn’t far behind, though, with 14,190 units sold. That said, the sales of these models were lower than in July 2024, by 9% and 16%, respectively. The Baleno logged 12,503 units, growing 34% over the same month last year (9,308 units).

3 Soon Arriving ICE & Electric SUVs From Hyundai & Kia – Under 10 Lakh

GaadiWaadi -

Both Hyundai and Kia will more likely bring in as many as three new compact SUV offerings over the next 12-18 months

Over the next year or so, Hyundai and Kia appear to expand their presence in India with multiple new SUVs across different segments. In the compact SUV category alone, as many as three new models are expected to arrive in response to the growing competition and here we have brought you a rundown of them:

1. Kia Syros EV:

Kia rolled out the Syros ICE only a few months back and in quick succession over the last quarter, the Carens Clavis ICE and its all-electric Clavis EV joined the lineup. The brand now seems to be working on an electric version of the Syros which is expected to make its debut sometime next year locally and it could emphasis on practicality and spaciousness as its IC-engined sibling.

2. Next Gen Hyundai Venue:

Hyundai is gearing up to introduce the next generation Venue in time for the festive season. Test mules have been spotted on several occasions giving away hints of the changes in store. The updated model is expected to feature a renewed design language with alterations to the front fascia, a redesigned rear section and new set of alloy wheels as updates will be inspired by the latest Creta and Alcazar.

The cabin will see a major overhaul too. New additions could include a Level 2 ADAS suite and a panoramic sunroof amongst a host of other inclusions. Under the hood, the Venue is expected to retain its existing engine range – the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, the 1.5-litre diesel and the 1.0-litre turbo petrol units.

3. Hyundai Inster Electric:

Hyundai’s roadmap for India appears to place greater emphasis on electric mobility with one of the key projects likely being a compact all-electric SUV inspired by the global Inster Electric. Slated for a 2026 launch, this model could offer two battery configurations – targeting a claimed driving range of over 450 km on a single charge as it could be positioned competitively in the growing EV segment.

It is likely to compete head-on with contenders like the Tata Punch EV and the soon-to-launch electric iteration of the Mahindra XUV 3XO. Inside, the cabin could be well-equipped with features such as a large touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, six airbags as standard, a sunroof and other modern amenities.

Kawasaki KLX 230 Now Costs Only Rs. 1.99 Lakh – MASSIVE PRICE CUT!

GaadiWaadi -

Kawasaki KLX 230 is locally produced and gets lesser suspension travel and a single-channel ABS system as part of the 2026 update

Kawasaki officially launched the KLX 230 in India towards the end of last year with a huge price tag of Rs. 3.30 lakh (ex-showroom) that sent shockwaves amongst enthusiasts. Now, the brand has introduced the 2026 iteration with a massive price cut and a couple of notable changes to lure in buyers as they appear to have learned a thing or two.

Firstly, the Kawasaki KLX 230’s price has been reduced big time by Rs. 1.31 lakh as it now costs only Rs. 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom) courtesy of it being produced locally. As for changes, the 2026MY version comes with lesser suspension wheel travel on either end and the dual-channel ABS system has been opted out for a single-channel unit.

It continues to be the second most affordable motorcycle from Kawasaki in India and will now firmly take on Hero Xpulse 210. The dual-sport motorcycle continues to use a 233 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine which is good enough to develop a maximum power output of 18.1 bhp and 18.3 Nm of peak torque, linked with a six-speed transmission.

The Kawasaki KLX 230 gets a suspension setup comprising telescopic forks at the front and a linked monoshock at the rear. Stopping power comes from disc brakes at both ends. The motorcycle features wire-spoked wheels with a 21-inch rim at the front and an 18-inch at the rear – both shod with knobby tyres for off-road grip.

Buyers can choose from two available paint options. The Kawasaki KLX 230 carries a purposeful, no-nonsense design, marked by a minimalist fairing, a high-set front fender and a short as well as tidy tail section. Its long and flat seat adds to its off-road practicality – allowing better movement for the rider.

Top 10 Compact SUVs July 2025 – Brezza, Fronx, Nexon, Venue, Kylaq

GaadiWaadi -

In July 2025, Maruti Suzuki Brezza finished on top of the sales charts for compact SUVs ahead of Fronx, Nexon, Punch and Venue

The compact SUV segment in India witnessed several popular models posting year-on-year declines while a few managed to buck the trend with positive growth. At the top of the charts, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza gained leadership position selling a total of 14,065 units – down by 4 per cent compared to the same period last year.

Despite the drop, its strong brand recall, fuel-efficient powertrain and Arena dealership reach ensured it stayed ahead of the competition. Securing the second spot, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx posted an impressive 18 per cent YoY growth with 12,872 units sold. The compact crossover has been steadily gaining ground due to its overall good packaging.

Its consistent rise highlights Maruti Suzuki’s ability to expand its footprint within the compact SUV space without cannibalising Brezza sales significantly. The Tata Nexon ranked third recording 12,825 units in July 2025 – an 8 per cent decline from the same month last year. It remains one of the most feature-rich and safe offerings in the segment.

Mercedes-Benz has expanded its top-end luxury performance portfolio in India with the launch of the CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé. Priced at Rs. 1.35 crore (ex-showroom), the new two-door coupé is an amalgamation of the sportiness and agility of the C-Class with the space and elegant looks of the E-Class.

It is extendable to 270 kmph with the optional AMG Driver’s Package. The fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system will assure traction by distributing torque between the front and rear wheels depending on the driving conditions. The AMG-tuned suspension working in tandem with adaptive damping adjustable in Comfort, Sport and Sport+ modes add to its spirited ride quality and handling.

Adding to its agility, the standard rear axle steering allows up to 2.5 degrees of steering angle. Transmission duties are handled by the AMG-spec nine-speed gearbox which offers rapid gear changes, double declutching and multiple downshifts when needed. Drivers can personalise their ride using selectable drive modes – Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual – or take full control through the manual mode operated via paddle shifters.

Stepping inside the cabin, the CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch portrait-style central touchscreen equipped with the latest MBUX infotainment system.
