The Top 5 Best Sedan Cars in India

For the past few years, Indian customers have been more inclined toward SUVs that are available in different sizes. Be it sub-compact, compact or full-size SUVs, the sales of SUVs have soared compared to sedans. However, that doesn't mean that the sales of sedans have declined drastically. So, if you are planning to purchase a sedan car, below are a few sedan cars in India that you can consider.

 

1) Honda City 5th Generation: This car needs no introduction. Since its debut in the Indian automotive market, this car has been one of the bestselling sedans in the country. However, a few days ago, Honda Motors announced that they would halt production of the fourth generation Honda City. Besides that, the fifth generation Honda City is also the first model to get full hybrid technology in India. The fifth-generation Honda City is available with both petrol and diesel engines. 

The Honda City's price starts at Rs 11.57 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

 

2) Hyundai Verna: Among other sedan cars, the Hyundai Verna also tops the sales chart in its segment. It is also a feature-loaded vehicle and is due for a complete makeover. That said, spy images of the upcoming Hyundai Verna have surfaced online. So, customers should expect the unveiling of the next-generation Verna later this year. 

As for the powertrain options, the Hyundai Verna caters to petrol and diesel-oriented buyers. It also offers manual and automatic transmissions.

But, as of today, in August 2022, the Hyundai Verna's price starts at Rs 9.40 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

 

3) Volkswagen Virtus: The newly launched Volkswagen Virtus is an offering from VW's "India 2.0" project. It shares the same engine and platform as other offerings based on that project. Those offerings include the Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda's Kushaq and the Slavia. Since its launch, the Virtus has been one of the best sedancars of 2022.

Apart from that, it is also worth mentioning that none of their products is available with diesel engines. That means there are only turbo-petrol engines on offer: 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre. Both the engines are fuel-efficient and offer a good amount of power. But the latter engine is for those who are more performance-oriented.

However, the Volkswagen Virtus price starts at Rs 11.21 lakh (avg ex-showroom).

 

4) Skoda Slavia: Another offering under VW Group's "India 2.0" project. Underneath, the Slavia is the same car as the Volkswagen Virtus in all aspects, but with a Skoda badge. The top-spec variant of the Skoda Slavia's features includes ventilated seats, a single-pane sunroof, a wireless charger, etc. 

So, the base model of the Skoda Slavia starts at Rs 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). 

 

5) Maruti Suzuki Ciaz: This sedan has been selling like hotcakes since it entered the Indian market. It was also the first Maruti car to feature a mild-hybrid engine. Earlier, this sedan used to be available with a diesel engine. But they phased those out when the BS6 emission norms came into effect. 

In short, there is no diesel engine on offer, making it one of the main reasons behind the decrease in sales of the Ciaz. 

However, the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz's price starts at Rs 8.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

 

So, above were a few sedans battling each other in a fiercely competitive market. Besides them, there are several options in the sedan segment. For more, such as the list of sedan cars 2022, on-road prices, comparisons, and so on, head to autoX.
