Maruti Suzuki's Nexa outlets are offering increased discounts on cars and SUVs including the Grand Vitara midsize SUV, Fronx compact SUV, and XL6 MPV in the last week of June. As per dealer sources, this is a result of higher inventory levels and slower sales. The Baleno, Ignis and Ciaz continue with the same level of benefits, while the Invicto MPV remains on sale without any discounts.
