Maruti Dzire lead the sedan segment ahead of Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze and VW Virtus by a huge margin
Following our earlier reports on SUV sales, we now assess the sedan segment and its sales performance in October 2025. Even as this segment has shown some positivity and improved buyer appeal both on a YoY and MoM basis, its overall numbers fall short of both hatchbacks and SUVs.
The arrival of the new generation Maruti Dzire late last year, with its 5-Star Bharat NCAP safety rating, has cemented its position atop the sedan segment. Its sales figures speak of its appeal to buyers in India as it was the only sedan to cross sales above the 10,000 unit mark.
