Sedan Cars

Sedans have lost ground to SUVs but remain the quietest and most comfortable way to cover distance at this price. The separate boot keeps luggage out of the cabin, and the lower roofline means less wind noise and better stability on the highway than a tall SUV manages.

CarQuill India currently tracks 4 Sedan models. Prices run from ₹6.79 Lakh for the Dzire up to ₹72.90 Lakh for the 5 Series. Models come from BMW, Maruti Suzuki, Mercedes-Benz and Honda. Fuel options across the range include petrol, diesel, cng and petrol-hybrid. Every model here offers an automatic.

What to weigh up before you buy

The recurring problem is ground clearance. Loaded with four people and luggage, a low sedan can scrape on aggressive speed breakers, so check the figure and consider how bad your regular routes are. In return you generally get better fuel economy and a more settled ride than an equivalent SUV. Resale is softer than SUVs at the moment, which makes a used sedan good value.
