Maruti Suzuki India Ltd said it has achieved one lakh units of cumulative exports of Made-in-India Jimny 5-door, FRONX and e VITARA to Japan considered one of the world’s most competitive and advanced automobile markets.

Exports of FRONX to Japan commenced in August 2024, followed by Jimny 5-door in December 2024. The Company’s first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), e VITARA, joined this export portfolio in September 2025.

Jimny 5-door and e VITARA are manufactured exclusively in India.

Japan is now Maruti Suzuki’s second-largest export market by volume. Maruti Suzuki-manufactured vehicles accounted for nearly 100% of imports by Suzuki in Japan during FY26, the company said.

Hisashi Takeuchi, managing director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India said, “The milestone of over 1 lakh exports of Jimny 5-door, FRONX, and e VITARA to Japan is a powerful endorsement of India’s manufacturing excellence.”

“This achievement is particularly significant as Japan is one of the world’s most demanding and advanced automobile markets. The export milestone also symbolises the remarkable evolution of the India-Japan partnership,” he said.

“What began as Suzuki’s vision to manufacture automobiles in India has come full circle, with Made-in-India vehicles finding strong acceptance among Japanese customers. This success has helped Japan emerge as the second biggest market for Maruti Suzuki exports,” he added.
