Maruti Suzuki Fronx To Toyota Hyryder: Top 5 Exported SUVs In FY2025
In the fiscal year 2025, India's automotive industry achieved the best report for exports of utility vehicles (UVs), including SUVs and MPVs by exporting 362,160 units. This represents a remarkable 54% increase compared to the previous year, highlighting India's growing status as a global manufacturing and export hub for SUVs. Top 5 Exported SUVs in FY2025 Maruti Suzuki Fronx: The Maruti Suzuki Fronx topped the export list, with 69,133 units shipped, marking an impressive 364% increase from last year. This compact crossover is in high demand, especially in Japan, where it features a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine and all-wheel drive. Maruti Suzuki Jimny: The Jimny came in second, exporting 47,982 units, a 116% rise from the previous year. Its popularity, particularly in markets that appreciate compact off-road vehicles, helped boost its exports. Until recently, Suzuki produced the 3-door Jimny exclusively for export to left- and right-hand-drive countries in Africa and the Middle East. Starting in October 2023, the company also began exporting the 5-door version to Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Honda Elevate: The Honda Elevate has become the third best-selling SUV for exports, with 45,167 units sent overseas. This is a significant increase of 340% from the previous fiscal year, showing its growing popularity in international markets. In FY2025, the Elevate moved up seven spots from its previous tenth position in FY2024. A major factor in its success is its sales in Japan, where it is known as the WR-V. Honda Elevate Nissan Magnite: The Nissan Magnite ranked fourth, with 29,155 units exported, which is a 213% increase from last year. Its attractive pricing and rich features have made it a favorite in various global markets. Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder: The Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder ranked fifth in exports, with 27,623 units shipped, marking a 59% increase from last year. Based on the Maruti Grand Vitara, this SUV has become popular in global markets that value dependable and efficient midsize vehicles. This rise in SUV exports shows India's growing significance in the global automotive industry. Companies like Maruti Suzuki, Honda, Nissan, and Toyota are leading the way, as Indian-made SUVs increasingly satisfy international demand.

A pedestrian was killed in a hit-and-run incident near the Khan Market traffic signal early Thursday morning. The accused, driving a black Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, fled the scene, and efforts are underway to trace him, police said. Both the victim and the driver remained unidentified through the day. However, investigators said they have tracked the vehicle's registration and identified the driver as a resident of Shahdara. Teams have been formed to locate him. A senior police officer said a control room call was received at 6:45am about an accident at the Khan Market signal. 'When officers arrived, they found a man, aged around 30-35, lying in a pool of blood. He was rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where he was declared dead,' the officer said.

A case has been registered under sections of causing death by negligence and rash driving. CCTV footage from the area was reviewed to identify the vehicle.
