In 2024, the Indian market will see the arrival of new-generation models poised to redefine the sedan segment. The upcoming lineup includes the new-gen Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Honda Amaze
Sedans are generally known for their sharp design, spacious cabin, ample boot capacity and comfortable rear seating, making them popular among car buyers. Let’s take a look at the upcoming sedans in the Indian market set to debut in 2024.
1. New-gen Maruti Suzuki Dzire
After introducing the 4th-gen Swift, Maruti Suzuki is all set to launch the new-gen Dzire in India. The compact sedan was recently spotted testing on Indian roads, hinting that its launch is imminent. Speaking about the exterior, the new Maruti Dzire will receive some design changes, such as a new grille, sleeker-looking LED headlamps, a revised bumper and a wide bonnet as seen in the spy pictures.
The Dzire will also get a new set of alloy wheels. Apart from this, the side profile of the upcoming Dzire will remain more or less the same. As seen in the spy shots, the new-gen Dzire will support an electrically adjustable sunroof, a good feature to be available in the sub-4 metre sedan.
In terms of interior, the new-gen Dzire will probably get a revised cabin setup with features like a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone connectivity, a new instrument cluster, revised aircon vents, and more. Other interior features will include updated seat upholstery, auto climate control and a wireless charger. The company is yet to reveal the mechanical specifications of the upcoming Dzire. It is expected to be priced between Rs 7 lakh – Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom).
2. New-gen Honda Amaze
Honda Cars India is also gearing up to introduce the new-gen Amaze in the Indian market later in 2024. According to various media reports, the next-generation Amaze will share the same platform currently doing duty on the new City and Elevate.
The reports suggest that the Honda’s sub-4 metre sedan design will be inspired by the Honda Accord sold globally. We expect the next-gen Honda Amaze to get a new cabin layout with a floating touchscreen infotainment unit and much more.
about the powertrain, the third-gen Honda Amaze is likely to be powered by the same 1.2-litre four-cylinder NA petrol engine as the current-gen Amaze. It will generate 90 hp power and 110 Nm torque. Transmission options include a five-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox.
