The Nexa range of vehicles has been contributing substantially to Maruti Suzuki's overall volumes and last year it added 2.3 lakh units to the overall sales. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno has been the bestseller in the Nexa range, but models like the S-Cross petrol and new Ignis that were updated last year are also adding to the volumes. The Maruti Suzuki S-Cross has recorded a 104 per cent growth in sales last year while the company sold 27,000 units of the Ignis.
