With a total of 79,483 units sold worldwide (including export numbers), Suzuki Motorcycle India revealed its sales figure in December 2023. When compared to the 63,912 units sold in December 2022, this was a significant 24% increase in year-on-year sales. Key models including the Suzuki Access 125, Burgmant Street 125, Gixxer 155, and the 250 series have continued to be popular, which has led to outstanding sales growth.
At home, Suzuki Motorcycle India had a banner in December, selling 69,025 units—a remarkable 68.74% increase over the 40,905 units sold in the same month in 2022. Important models have had a major role in this enormous success, and the home market continues to be a stronghold for the brand.
Export volumes for Suzuki Motorcycle India, however, fell on the global stage. Compared to 23,007 units delivered in December of last year, just 10,457 units were shipped worldwide in December of this year. The two-wheeler industry's sustained success for Suzuki Motorcycle India is highlighted by the brand's strong presence in the local market and the constant performance of popular models, even though exports have taken a fall.
