While the hatchback is still the bestselling body style in the country, sedans too continue to bring in impressive numbers. And there is no doubting the capabilities of sedans as family cars. They bring space and practicality, thanks to a bigger boot, and, at the same time are economical and easy to maintain. And let’s not forget that sedans are still considered objects of social status. The Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire often trades the top spot of the bestselling car in the country with the Alto, a hatchback. The City has been one of the most popular models for Honda Cars India Limited. Lastly, the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz has gained tremendous popularity thanks to its efficiency and reliability.
