Maruti Suzuki Dzire was the only sedan in India, which used to be on the list of top best-selling cars almost every month. Still, vehicles from SUV and hatchback segments have made such a place in the hearts of people that sedan cars are now lagging behind in the sales chart. If we look at the figures for last August, the Maruti Dzire could not make it to the top 10 cars and lagged behind.
At the same time, 6 cars from the SUV segment of different sizes, 3 cars from the hatchback segment and one car from the 7-seater MPV segment made it to the top 10 list of best-selling cars. So, let’s know why people do not like sedan cars more.
The craze for sedans is decreasing
Maruti Suzuki Dzire is the best-selling sedan in the country, but its performance in the sales chart has been going down for the last 2 months. The biggest reason for this seems to be that customers are waiting for the new generation Dzire, in which many cosmetic and mechanical changes can be seen.
The second reason is that at present, there is a tremendous craze for SUVs among customers; in such a situation, people who used to think of buying a budget sedan for themselves either buy an SUV or a premium hatchback in the same price range. Recently, Tata Motors and Citroen launched the SUV coupe, which has the fun of both SUV and sedan, but can spoil the game of both sedan and SUV.
Top 9 cars of the country
Now the question comes to which cars made it to the top 10 last August; then let us tell you that the sub-4 meter compact SUV Maruti Suzuki Brezza was in the first position. After this, the affordable and best-selling 7 seater car Maruti Suzuki Ertiga was in second position.
The midsize SUV Hyundai Creta was third. After this, the budget hatchback Maruti Suzuki WagonR was at number 1, and then Tata Punch SUV was at number 5. Mahindra Scorpio SUV was at number 6 and premium hatchback Maruti Suzuki Swift was at number 7. Maruti Suzuki Baleno, which was once the best-selling, was at number 8. After this, Maruti Suzuki Francox was at number 9 and Tata Nexon SUV w at number.
