KATHMANDU: CG MotoCorp, the official dealer for Maruti Suzuki in Nepal, has sold 7,938 cars over the past five years. The sales figures cover the period from January 2021 to December 2025.
Maruti Suzuki’s budget-friendly cars were once very popular in Nepal. The Indian manufacturer’s affordable models found many buyers in the Nepali market.
However, things have changed dramatically. The growing popularity of electric vehicles has hit Suzuki’s sales hard.
CG MotoCorp built a reputation for good service. The company created a strong dealer network across Nepal. They offered affordable servicing and provided quality parts at reasonable prices.
Despite these strengths, sales have dropped sharply. The main reason? The electric vehicle boom.
In 2021, CG MotoCorp had its best year. The company sold 3,990 cars. Popular models included the Celerio, Alto, WagonR, Swift, Espresso, Ignis, and Baleno.
The Brezza emerged as the star performer. Out of the total 3,990 units sold in 2021, a remarkable 2,079 were Brezza SUV. The SUV became an evergreen favorite among Nepali buyers.
But 2022 brought a sharp decline. Sales plummeted from 3,990 units to just 1,259 units. Every model segment saw reduced demand.
The downward trend continued in 2023. Even though the overall car market was growing, Suzuki could not capitalize. Only 914 units were sold that year.
The years 2024 and 2025 showed no recovery. According to customs data, the company imported 834 units in 2024 and 941 units in 2025.
The story of CG MotoCorp’s Suzuki sales reflects a larger shift in Nepal’s automobile market. Traditional petrol cars are losing ground to electric vehicles. Even well-established brands with good service networks are feeling the impact.
For Suzuki, a brand that once dominated Nepal’s budget car segment, the challenge is clear. Adapting to the electric vehicle era will be crucial for future success.
