In the Indian car market, sedans have been losing popularity to SUVs in recent times. However, there are plenty of people who still find them to have novelty value, and many sedans posted a strong sales growth last month. Here, we have listed the ten highest-selling sedans in India in March 2022.
Maruti Dzire was the best-selling sedan in the Indian market last month, with a sales figure of 18,623 units. This translates to a YoY sales growth of 63 per cent in March 2022 for Maruti‘s subcompact sedan. Tata Tigor took a distant second spot, with 4,007 units sold last month, which is a 91 per cent growth on a YoY basis.
