The Toyota Taisor is based on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx.

349,057 new locally produced vehicles found a buyer in India in May (+4.3%), that’s a new May record, eclipsing the previous best of 334,499 established just last year. The year-to-date volume for its part is up 8.3% to 1,821,157, a new all-time high at this stage of the year. Maruti Suzuki (+0.2%) is stable at #1 in the brands ranking, followed by Hyundai (+1.1%) and Tata (+1.8%) also trailing the market. Mahindra surges 31.4% year-on-year and Toyota is up 23.6% as both reach their 2nd highest monthly volume ever.  Kia (+3.9%) and Honda (+3.5%) match the market whereas all remaining brands are in negative. 

Model-wise, after two months of unusual reign by the Tata Punch, Maruti Suzuki reclaims the lead through the Swift (+11.8%) rallying back up 28 spots on April to #1, its first win since last August. It still lags at #10 year-to-date however whereas it held the overall pole position over the Full Year 2023. The Tata Punch (+70.3%) is relegated to 2nd place but still manages a fantastic performance and stays at #1 year-to-date. The Maruti Suzuki DZire (+41.9%) is also in outstanding shape and rounds out the podium. Excellent scores for the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga (+32%), Mahindra Scorpio (+47.2%) and Maruti Suzuki Fronx (+28.6%) in the remainder of the Top 10. We welcome the Toyota Taisor at #38.
