Sedans, once revered as the epitome of elegance and luxury, are now facing stiff competition from SUVs and hatchbacks in the Indian automotive market. With a demand for greater road presence and higher ground clearance, people are opting for compact SUVs, where sedans once ruled. The top 10 best-selling sedans in India include the Maruti Dzire, Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze, and the Skoda Slavia. There are others with them, and this blog will tell you all about them.

India’s best-selling sedan is commanding a remarkable popularity with almost 17,000 units sold and dispatched this year. This top-selling car saw 10 per cent growth both monthly and yearly. Among all the sedans on the best-selling list, the total sales of Maruti Suzuki Dzire are more than the collective.

Hyundai Aura

In the second spot is the Hyundai Aura with over 4,000 units sold. Although MoM sales dipped by 17 per cent, the Aura remained a strong contender in the sedan segment.

Conclusion

It is not unknown that people prefer SUVs over sedans in India because of two main reasons, which are already mentioned in this blog – Road presence and ground clearance. Maruti Suzuki Dzire managed to keep its sales momentum of over 10,000 units on a monthly basis, only on the robust base of the Maruti brand. Apart from it, the rest all the sedans are struggling to even stand against it. However, Hyundai Aura, Hyundai Verna, Honda Amaze, and Tata Tigor are crunching out decent numbers, but things don’t look great for them.
