The new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara has received huge bookings within a few months of the Indian automaker opening the bookings in India. As per the brand, the company has received over 55,000 bookings for its first mid-size SUV in India. Of these, the company has delivered 4,770 units in the first month of its sale. The September 2022 figures make the hybrid SUV a hit in the Indian market, outpacing many other mid-SUVs.

Maruti Suzuki as a brand registered a wholesale of 3,55,946 units, the highest ever in history, with a massive sales growth of 7.8 per cent over the same period last year. The stock market of Maruti Suzuki reached 42 percent last month, which is a big jump compared to the previous months. The success is attributed to several new launches including the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Brezza, which is the best-selling SUV in India, and the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Ertiga and XL6 among other vehicles.
