A compact sedan holds fort in market ruled by SUVs

Dzire outsells all the other sedans combined

- VIKRAM CHAUDHARY

SEDANS ARE DYING, except for Dzire. The January-October 2025 sales data shows that the compact sedan by Maruti Suzuki has outsold all sedans put together. During the period, Dzire sold 174,334 units, while nine other sedans put together could manage 142,456 units.

This wasn’t the case in calendar year 2024, when Dzire—though still the leader, by far-sold 167,988 units, almost 10,000 units less than 177,857 units sold by the other nine sedans.
