In the month of June 2023, Maruti Suzuki’s Dzire continued to sit at the top of the sedan sales charts as 9,322 units were sold against 12,597 units during the same period last year with a YoY negative volume growth of 26 per cent. Its main rival, the Hyundai Aura, finished in the second position with a total of 4,907 units against 4,102 units.
This led to a YoY positive sales increase of 20 per cent as the compact sedan has been performing well in recent months. The Hyundai Verna received its new generation only a few months ago as just over 4,000 units were sold in June 2023 as against 1,703 units during the corresponding period twelve months ago with a YoY surge of 135 per cent.
The new-gen Verna comes with a thoroughly revised exterior and an all-new interior with a more advanced features list, which includes ADAS tech. It derives power from a new 1.5L turbo petrol engine kicking out 160 PS maximum power and 253 Nm of peak torque. It is paired with a six-speed iMT or a seven-speed DCT auto.
