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.
