With the growing popularity of SUVs, there are still some sedans that Indians love, which do sell in very good numbers. Today, we are looking at the top five sedans that sold in the year 2025-26. Let’s start with the most popular:
#1 Maruti Suzuki Dzire

With a lion’s share in the sedan market, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire remains the ultimate sales champion in this market, outperforming even higher-segment sedans as well. With a spacious and practical cabin, a reliable engine, and the most fuel-efficient car, the Dzire is the perfect choice for someone looking for their first car to be a safe purchase. It starts at Rs 6.26 lakhs and goes up to Rs 9.36 lakhs (both ex-showroom).
The Maruti Dzire, with this new generation that was launched in 2024, received a 1.2-litre petrol engine which produces 90 PS of power and 110 Nm of torque, and which returns a claimed fuel efficiency of 25.71 kmpl (AT). It also gets a sharp-looking design, with the addition of automatic LED headlamps with LED DRLs, an electric sunroof, a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless connectivity, 6 airbags, and a 360-degree camera. It also scored a 5-star BNCAP rating.
#2 Hyundai Aura

The Hyundai Aura, which got its last update back in early 2023, still sells in good numbers after the king of sales, the Dzire.

#3 Honda Amaze

The Honda Amaze also sold pretty good numbers as well in the year 2025-26. With a smooth and refined petrol engine and segment-first features, it is a practical sedan as well for this list. The Amaze starts at Rs 7.51 lakh and goes up to Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom).

It has also scored 5-star BNCAP ratings just like the Dzire.
#4 Volkswagen Virtus
Units Sold: 23,685
The Volkswagen Virtus, which became popular in this segment, is loved by enthusiasts for its powerful engines and good ride and handling as well. The Virtus also sold in decent numbers in the year 2025-26, with over 23,000 units sold. It starts at Rs 10.50 lakh and goes up to Rs 19 lakh (ex-showroom). While it sold in good numbers compared to last year, it saw a decline in sales in June 2026 compared to June 2025.
The Virtus has a very sporty look and is also very well equipped with features such as a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charger, electric sunroof, automatic climate control, automatic headlamps, 6 airbags, rear parking camera, and ABS with EBD. The Virtus is due for a facelift this year, which updates it to current-day standards.
#5 Skoda Slavia
Units Sold: 15,171
After the Volkswagen Virtus, it's the platform sibling, the Skoda Slavia, on this list, which sold over 15,000 units through the 2025-26 year. This sedan has been popular among buyers who prefer to be chauffeur-driven and have a comfortable rear seat experience. Skoda has also recently given two new shades for the top-end Monte Carlo trim. It starts at Rs 10 lakh and goes up to Rs 18.19 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Slavia packs in features such as automatic LED headlights with LED DRLs, rain-sensing wipers, 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charger, 6 airbags, rear-view parking camera, brake disc wiping and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The Slavia was spied testing, which is due for a facelift that will make this sedan up to date.
With the sedans being dominated by the SUVs, these cars aim to give tough competition to them by offering comfortable seats, a feature-loaded cabin, and powerful and fuel-efficient engines in the segment. Overall, the sedans sold over 4 lakh units combined, which suggests we still want more sedans as well. Which one would you choose? Do let us know!
