Instead of improving indian road conditions, we buy higher ground clearance cars to avoid potholes. Highest accident deaths in india but we demand higher speed turbos high performance engine and raise the speed limits. Basics are not right , priorities are not right , times are strange... showoff factor , instead of fuel efficient sedans and hatchbacks , pseudo suvs are selling like anything
The most important factor these days is that cars, just like iPhones were some years back, have become status symbol. Bigger your car is, bigger is the perceived status.
@@motoroctane Actually I meant 'one of the most important factors' instead of 'the most important factor'. I was just being metaphorical in emphasising this weird trend!

People who spend most of their car time alone or with just a front co-passenger are buying Cretas or Harriers. People with 7 lakh car budgets are buying base Punchs just because it tall and high.

Idk if it's right to call them hatchback because newer cars that you're calling raised hatchbacks are becoming so huge that it's just like an SUV. No, India is completely an SUV market now and I hate it.
There is no standard definition of what an SUV is globally... If you go by the very commonly accepted definition then only those cars with 4 wheel drive, ground clearance of above 200 mm etc.. And if we go that definition also the current Indian market do not have 100 % SUV's...

Jeremy Clarkson summed up this problem very accurately when he was reviewing the BMW X6 in his summary: "It is a big car, but it cannot fit more people or luggage than an equivalent sedan could do. While the X6 has sporty driving dynamics to prevent body roll, they had to fill the suspension with so much gravel and concrete that the ride is atrocious. While the engine is powerful enough to haul the X6 at high speeds, it would have been much faster and more efficient if it were put in a smaller and less heavy sedan. Unlike the Range Rover which can do well off road, this car doesn't have any low range or locking diffs, which means that it is useless offroad." The same thing was shown in another episode of "The Grand Tour", when the three presenters went to Canada to road test such "Crossover SUVs". On a racetrack, a sedan with comparable power-to-weight ratio left all three for dead (because it had zero body roll, while these three had to considerably brake ahead of time to avoid body roll), while costing less than these three SUV's. And when they tried to do some offroad work in the dust, their 4x4 systems panicked and went into limp-home mode, nullifying their point as an off-roader. In summary, a Jacked up hatchback (the so called crossover SUVs) give the worst of both worlds. The big and bulky body adds unnecessary weight, which means that performance and fuel economy is much worse than a hatch/sedan on the same platform, the tall suspension raises the center of gravity of the vehicle, so to prevent body roll, the suspension is much stiffer, which ruins the ride comfort. To add to all this, the high riding body of an SUV is much more lethal to pedestrians as it focuses the impact on the chest or torso during a collision, rather than the legs (in the case of hatches/sedans). In fact, European law forbids lifting the bodywork of an SUV over a particular limit specifically to abide with the pedestrian collision regulations. Also, for the naysayers saying that "bad roads need such large jacked up hatches", the ground clearance on modern mass market sedans and hatchbacks is around 170mm, which is more than sufficient on most on the roads of the nation. If your Swift car with 170 mm ground clearance is grounding on a speed hump/pothole, then it is not the car which is at fault, it is the road contractor/builder who should be pulled up.
@@tageapa123 I drive a 2nd gen Swift. It has 170mm ground clearance and in the huge variety of road surfaces I drove on, it has never grounded itself. It is compact enough that it can fit in the narrow bylanes in cities, and I never felt obnoxious blocking the lanes when I park the car in the gullies. For me, driving in the city, I don’t see the need to get a bulky SUV like the Creta or the Hector, as my Swift can do most of the work it can do, without obnoxiously blocking space.

Bhai sedan is not popular because of road quality tbh. 30 years till we see sedans back in popularity. Because it will take that many years for our city roads to get better.
@@induser11677 it can come back but it's not because of roads. All over the world SUV are getting more popular even in countries with good roads. Power, muscle, high commanding position, feel good factors, road presence, more space are the reason. Whatever boosts ego, will sell more. Even in past larger sedans were preferred.
@@induser11677 Completely agree with you, the roads are bad. But I drive a Honda City (one of the lowest ground clearance) and have had no issues. Yes during monsoons you need to take care but other than that I haven't faced any major issues. But today sedans like virtus and slavia are giving 180mm ground clearance which is at par with some SUVs but still they are not widely seen.
I have always owned a sedan and just don't feel like making the switch though I have driven many suv's. You feel royal in a sedan given the space and comfort..!
Your priorities seem primal. Sedans are designed for highways and are aerodynamic unlike suv bricks. India is making a lot of highways meant for sedans. better late than never.
@@cuckoonut1208 Yes sir you are right. I chose my sedan based on my requirement and preference which is minimal in terms of features especially. Also I drive max on expressways, mostly with family.
@@tageapa123brother I have purchased car based on the terrain I drive mostly, that's expressway. Although my amaze performed very well in Mahabaleshwar hills too.
Big Problems regarding Sedan, 1. Low Ground Clearance 2. Difficult to Drive in City Traffic 3. Currently Sedans do not offer features 4. Due to length being more, the taxes on them are somewhat similar to SUVs. So, when all of this is seen buy a buyer, they just think, isse achha to SUV le lete hai. Example: Verna costs about 18-19 Lakh ex-showroom TOP MODEL (last time I checked). It's Interiors are not even that premium and features offered are less. in 18-20Lakh price you get those so called "SUV". with more features, higher ground clearance, better interiors, etc so ofc people will buy those.
Sedan gives more mileage than suvs due to their aerodynamic structure. If anyone wants to compare in monetary terms. In the long run, sedans will save more money.
1. Better stability 2. Good for cornering 3. Boot space 4. Complete family package if you're not going where are bad roads or offroad. 5. Hatchback or sedans still better for tiny roads like HP, Shimla etc (u know where vloggers travel) suv wale ko stress aa skta h waise roads pr. 6. Less damage if you hit pedestrian
Bhai Volkswagen li virus ka naam suna features ki line hai or sedans Jada saff hai because kam ground clearance SUVs toh Jada speed me palat sakti because High ground clearance

You're in a tier 3 city, its dark and you're out in the Highways at 80 kmph, suddenly a pothole or big patch comes up or you suddenly encounter a road construction joint... You cant slow down too much and just take a big hit.. A sedan or a hatchback would get hit on its bumper or any underbody components.. whilst an SUV might be able to take that hit without much damage. That's how the road conditions are in our country (Even tier 2 & 3 NH roads).. No safety signs, no proper illumination.. we are left to deal with our own problem.. That's why...
@@jaisreekrishn Some real suv's can manage but atleast you can prevent the crossovers underbody from damage... And no one will directly let the vehicle directly in the pothole they will try to slowdown so the speed during the impact will be less..
I recently brought new creta, but my eyes were on verna, only due to indian internal road conditions, and sometimes you make trips to mountains (internal roads in mountains are very bad), i had to choose creta, indeed i am not that rich to have different car for different needs.
I've to VW sedans vento and ameo from 2016. I've combined driven them 250,000 kms in which I've driven on semi off road environments and even some river crossing where one Inova got stuck so the talk of higher ground clearance is some what shaddy for me
@@abhishekbanodkar9400which feature XUV700 has Verna doesn't. Infact Porsche which is a luxury supercar brand is reducing the dashboard features and bringing back buttons because the features in recent cars are bloated. There are alot of unnecessary features which are solely installed to increase the price of the car.
Its like herd race by us Indians. Today pan India roads are good and far better than 20 years back, then also people are buying SUV. Our Sedan or Htchback doesnt break in two halves while hitting potholes.
The only thing is ground clearance is the first priority to sedan sales . Minimum ground clearance 190 mm preferred and also turning radius parking problem in colony
India doesn't have a wide variety of car options, and that's a bitter truth. Markets like the US , Middle East & some European countries offer the best options, with a diverse range of SUVs and sports cars that are unfamiliar to the Indian market
Yes you are right..in US there are many many automobile companies that India..if we count all the mainstream the count is not bigger than 20..thanks to Suzuki for 50% share😮
That's because abhi paisa sabse zyada uncle log ke paas hai and they have no idea about architecture, driving experience, fun, etc. about the cars. Youngster audience ke paas paise kam hai that's why they go for second hand sedans and hatchbacks. But jinke paas paisa hai wo new sedans lete hai like verna and virtus.
I went to a Skoda showroom decided to book a Kushaq and eventually came out booking a Slavia. I loved Slavia the moment i sat in it. The big sedan feel and so much more luxurious. I wished to book it but since its a sedan it would keep scraping on the roads so dint want to book it. When the salesman said its 180mm gc i took a test drive and booked it with joy !!! Been an year with the beautiful beast and every single time i drive it puts a smile on my face.
My father had a Ciaz. Gave mileage of 18-19 kmpl in petrol. Was spacious as hell. Boot was 510 L. But if 5 people sat in the vehicle, it will touch every pothole and speed bump. The old 160 mm Honda city touched even the bubbling on roads. So, even good cars are getting rejected because of bad roads. After the Ciaz experience, My father bought a WRV and I got a Grand Vitara
Safety comes from the driver, not the car. Crash ratings come in picture when a car touches something else. Go for the car you like, don't hold back on ratings
SUVs generally have a wider stance, the width is higher for same length of sedan or hatchback, it is desirable. High GC to handle broken roads/city, municipal roads. Upright bonnet, more metal upfront for safety in case of mishap. This trend in evident in crash results. In our country, these are genuine concerns.
I bought suv for ground clearance only. 2012 roads were new and good , fast forward to 2024, roads are full of potholes and sedans scrape off easily... I don't care about engine, locking differentials and stuff, purely because of ground clearance I bought suv, that is the only thing which matters to me. I am not a offroaders, I use vehicle to and fro office only in city.
For people who are confused to buy between sedans and SUVs, sedans beat SUVs on 3 fronts: 1. Better aerodynamics 2. Better center of gravity 3. Better pedestrian safety
Ecosport changed everything, and Trend setting was like a Tsunami. Price, Space,Milage, fuel options, Engine power everything was so perfect for Indian Market . The Birth of Compact SUV.
@@Michael-Angh, Duster is not a Compact SUV, and about fame , My family , Her family , my neighbourhood, Her neighbourhood, in my friend circle dont have a single Duster , but there is Ecosport, Nexon, Brezza,xuv300.

@@tageapa123 , Features Ford, Chevrolet gave in 2013 upto 2018 , other manufacturers giving today , their Cars r 3 level above than others . problems was Service centres and milage , people were more milage hugger than safety on those days . 3.2 litre five cylinder Endeavour, 2.0 litre Turbo diesel Cruze , 1.5 litre Tdci , unmatched to others .
I think someone unleashed the paid mafia online all of sudden all the reviewers are promoting Sedans which is an outdated segment in India. For indians owning a car is a dream, we will buy the most value for money option. Why would some one buy shot vernas, taiguns or kushaqs for 20 lakhs when we can get much feature rich scorpios and 700 at same price. Moreover, the seevice of the SUVs is cheaper than sedans 😊
@7:12, Adding airbags is good but without proper built/body structure even 6 airbags won't bhi helpful. Jab gadi hi pichakjaye to airbags kya ghanta kaam aayenge. I think the focus should be more on increasing body structure and stability to handle the impact woth keeping occupants safe.
11:36 Rachit Bhai, Mahindra Verito Vibe wasn't even a hatchback. It was a 4-door saloon with rear looking like a "hatchback". You can compare its body layout with Leyland Princess saloon's body which is a 4-door saloon with it's rear looking like a hatchback but opens like a sedan.
Suv ka or ek problem city me h, bahot sare log aajkal influence hoke, bhokal dikhane ke chakkar me SUV's le rhe h. SUV ko City me drive karna, choti galiyo me mudne me problem hoti h jyada jagah lgti h, SUV ko park krne ke liye bhi bahot jagah lgti h us place me 2 small hatchback park ho skti h. But aajkal ke logo ye baat samjh nhi aati, unki bhi kya galti small cars wale ko ye egoistic suv wale daba dete h
I think there is one more reason to buy suv for its front impact body hight i saw glanza jo truck ke piche ja ghusi thi aur uske front gril ke alava sidha impect uske pillers par pada tha aur cabin main damage hua tha lekin uske badle harrier hoti to front aur bonet impect hota naki pillers aur cabin safe raheta....
Another reason is Nitin Gadkari ji, he has built so many amazing interstate highways. So people now consider travelling between states via car as a real possibility. Hence, it makes more sense to buy SUV now.
Bhai SUVs are opposite of what you described. It's like saying ab 2 ki jagah 4 log ek saath jaenge so now let's go via motorcycle instead of car. The SUVs are made for offroading. The better long roads mei Sedans are better than SUVs because they are closer to the road which makes more stabilty as centre of mass is lower, sedans perform better in moose test so ekdum se saamne koi aae tho high speed mein instantly lane switch karte waqt car turbulent naa ho and sedans have better aerodynamics and are lighter means zyada speed mei kam fuel consumption compared to SUVs.
11:03 awd not in compact crossover ground clearence 🤔hmmm nowdays expressway and highway is being good no issue panromic sunroof 🤔 i think a car without sunroof is better You forgot one thing "comfort " Which is better is sedan
Please make a video on compact suv vs midsize suv, because their price clash and it becomes very confusing to choose between the, after considering pros and cons. Like if I have a budget of 13-14 lakh on road, I can get a middle variant of compact SUVs and base model of midsize SUVs with all the basic features. It’s so confusing for middle class people like us to choose because both are lucrative options here…
@@TheTwinPost I know that brands are doing it and it's because of the govt tax and stuff that they are making these types of cars, but if the people also accept this type of useless cars then the market is done for. We'll never get proper cars again

Great observation. But you are missing the macro picture. Generation alfa is going to ditch car ownership completely. They will be considering vehicles and aerial vehicles as a mode of transportation only. Just like around a hundred year back, people considered horse drawn carriages as mode of going from A to B prior to the advent of internal combustion engine.
Sedans like virtus and slavia have 5 star safety and almost 180mm of ground clearance which makes them comparable to the compact suv s Sedans are my fav
The major reason for me to buy suv was this vehicle scraping due to uneven unauthorised speed breakers. Creating rusting issues in vehicle. Second also as town road are updating at a steady pace there is a lot of patchy roads.
We loved sedan our first car was dzire now is ciaz and next whenever we going to upgrade will be compact SUV just bc of poor road conditions and the comfort plus affordable
Please check below the engine there is iron casting filled in aluminum box weighing 140kgs, why companies are putting such weight to reduce efficiency in consumption of diesel or petrol. If you remove it efficiency will increase and sales will increase for car lovers.
I bought Sedan recently and happy with ride comfort. I don't hate SUV but their utility is not in city traffic and unfortunately, that is where I see >60% SUV type cars in Mumbai. My interaction with owners always gets 1 response - Status and road presence.
Recently bought Honda Aamaze CVT few days ago. Extremely satisfied with the car. Super comfortable and easy to drive. It has all necessary features and top quality engine with good safety standards ratings. Way better than jacked up suv or hatchback. Will always prefer and go for sedan. When ever i go out with sedan, almost every car is mini suv or hatchback now a days. So people are looking at it surprisingly.
I think in the premium segment ( under crore ) only brands left is either a bmw with their 3 series or a merc with their C class . Audi is really outdated with their cars in India . Škoda superb or Octavia have almost died . Yes one more brand - “ TOYOTA” if focuses on their Camry can increase the demand of sedans again because it may happen that Škoda makes their Octavia or superb in India which will reduce their price and with good set of tech it will be good to go . This will also make other German car manufacturers in this segment to decrease their prices for the starting models and offer good set of features to survive in this category. So I think Toyota might be a hope in sedan market too.
Ford and Fiat exit made a vacum in performance hatchbacks. There are some cars which were launched ahead of their time. Cars like Ford Fusion, Chevrolet SRV, Fiat Palio and even Honda Jazz initial version. Had they been successful, Indian market would've been in a different state today.

Big Problems regarding Sedan,
1. Low Ground Clearance
2. Difficult to Drive in City Traffic
3. Currently Sedans do not offer features
4. Due to length being more, the taxes on them are somewhat similar to SUVs.
So, when all of this is seen buy a buyer, they just think, isse achha to SUV le lete hai.
Example: Verna costs about 18-19 Lakh ex-showroom TOP MODEL (last time I checked).
It's Interiors are not even that premium and features offered are less.
in 18-20Lakh price you get those so called "SUV". with more features, higher ground clearance, better interiors, etc
so ofc people will buy those.
Sedan gives more mileage than suvs due to their aerodynamic structure. If anyone wants to compare in monetary terms. In the long run, sedans will save more money.
city/verna has very good models under 15 lakhs you cannot say sedans dont have features
1. Better stability
2. Good for cornering
3. Boot space
4. Complete family package if you're not going where are bad roads or offroad.
5. Hatchback or sedans still better for tiny roads like HP, Shimla etc (u know where vloggers travel) suv wale ko stress aa skta h waise roads pr.
6. Less damage if you hit pedestrian
Once you get the taste and fun of riding sedans on highways, you will never get the similar experience while driving an SUV
Bhai Volkswagen li virus ka naam suna features ki line hai or sedans Jada saff hai because kam ground clearance SUVs toh Jada speed me palat sakti because High ground clearance

Great Video. Owned a Eco Sport for 10 years. The size and engine is perfect for Indian roads. Most new compact SUV shud have same size engine and torque.
You're in a tier 3 city, its dark and you're out in the Highways at 80 kmph, suddenly a pothole or big patch comes up or you suddenly encounter a road construction joint... You cant slow down too much and just take a big hit.. A sedan or a hatchback would get hit on its bumper or any underbody components.. whilst an SUV might be able to take that hit without much damage. That's how the road conditions are in our country (Even tier 2 & 3 NH roads).. No safety signs, no proper illumination.. we are left to deal with our own problem.. That's why...
that's true, so which SUV according to you will be able to manage a pothole at 80 km/h on an unlit road?
no sarcasm I want some genuine suggestions
@@jaisreekrishn Some real suv's can manage but atleast you can prevent the crossovers underbody from damage...
And no one will directly let the vehicle directly in the pothole they will try to slowdown so the speed during the impact will be less..
And when a cow comes at 100 kph them those suv will filp over easily 😂😂😂

Its like herd race by us Indians. Today pan India roads are good and far better than 20 years back, then also people are buying SUV. Our Sedan or Htchback doesnt break in two halves while hitting potholes.
The only thing is ground clearance is the first priority to sedan sales . Minimum ground clearance 190 mm preferred and also turning radius parking problem in colony
India doesn't have a wide variety of car options, and that's a bitter truth. Markets like the US , Middle East & some European countries offer the best options, with a diverse range of SUVs and sports cars that are unfamiliar to the Indian market
Yes you are right..in US there are many many automobile companies that India..if we count all the mainstream the count is not bigger than 20..thanks to Suzuki for 50% share😮
That's because abhi paisa sabse zyada uncle log ke paas hai and they have no idea about architecture, driving experience, fun, etc. about the cars. Youngster audience ke paas paise kam hai that's why they go for second hand sedans and hatchbacks. But jinke paas paisa hai wo new sedans lete hai like verna and virtus.
@@VAIBHAVMALHOTRA19 we can't just blame uncles for that 😂there are a lot of factors behind it mainly tax & stuff ..
I went to a Skoda showroom decided to book a Kushaq and eventually came out booking a Slavia. I loved Slavia the moment i sat in it. The big sedan feel and so much more luxurious. I wished to book it but since its a sedan it would keep scraping on the roads so dint want to book it. When the salesman said its 180mm gc i took a test drive and booked it with joy !!! Been an year with the beautiful beast and every single time i drive it puts a smile on my face.

My father had a Ciaz. Gave mileage of 18-19 kmpl in petrol. Was spacious as hell. Boot was 510 L. But if 5 people sat in the vehicle, it will touch every pothole and speed bump. The old 160 mm Honda city touched even the bubbling on roads. So, even good cars are getting rejected because of bad roads. After the Ciaz experience, My father bought a WRV and I got a Grand Vitara

Need more such case study like videos plz..
SUVs generally have a wider stance, the width is higher for same length of sedan or hatchback, it is desirable.
High GC to handle broken roads/city, municipal roads. Upright bonnet, more metal upfront for safety in case of mishap. This trend in evident in crash results.
In our country, these are genuine concerns.

I bought suv for ground clearance only. 2012 roads were new and good , fast forward to 2024, roads are full of potholes and sedans scrape off easily... I don't care about engine, locking differentials and stuff, purely because of ground clearance I bought suv, that is the only thing which matters to me. I am not a offroaders, I use vehicle to and fro office only in city.
In SUVs we don't have to worry about speed breakers, potholes.
But in sedans and hatchbacks, we have to see these things which is a BIG stress
But in suvs we have body roll which means poor handling on highways
In sedans you can cruise in expressways with confidence, cutting the air like a knife.
@@cuckoonut1208 and they perform better on moose test
You still feel bumps in wannabe SUVs like Brezza, Nexon and Creta
For people who are confused to buy between sedans and SUVs, sedans beat SUVs on 3 fronts: 1. Better aerodynamics 2. Better center of gravity 3. Better pedestrian safety

@@tageapa123 , Features Ford, Chevrolet gave in 2013 upto 2018 , other manufacturers giving today , their Cars r 3 level above than others . problems was Service centres and milage , people were more milage hugger than safety on those days . 3.2 litre five cylinder Endeavour, 2.0 litre Turbo diesel Cruze , 1.5 litre Tdci , unmatched to others .
I think someone unleashed the paid mafia online all of sudden all the reviewers are promoting Sedans which is an outdated segment in India. For indians owning a car is a dream, we will buy the most value for money option. Why would some one buy shot vernas, taiguns or kushaqs for 20 lakhs when we can get much feature rich scorpios and 700 at same price. Moreover, the seevice of the SUVs is cheaper than sedans 😊

@7:12, Adding airbags is good but without proper built/body structure even 6 airbags won't bhi helpful. Jab gadi hi pichakjaye to airbags kya ghanta kaam aayenge.
I think the focus should be more on increasing body structure and stability to handle the impact woth keeping occupants safe.
Sir apne ek chij batana bhul gay hai ki tata nexon india ki sabse pehli five star rated gaari bani thi 2019 main.
11:36 Rachit Bhai, Mahindra Verito Vibe wasn't even a hatchback. It was a 4-door saloon with rear looking like a "hatchback". You can compare its body layout with Leyland Princess saloon's body which is a 4-door saloon with it's rear looking like a hatchback but opens like a sedan.
When Safety And Ground Clearance Has Become A Reason ❤🎉
Sub 4 meter SUVs are the best thing to happen for Indian consumers as it is taxed less but has more features and safety.
Suv ka or ek problem city me h, bahot sare log aajkal influence hoke, bhokal dikhane ke chakkar me SUV's le rhe h. SUV ko City me drive karna, choti galiyo me mudne me problem hoti h jyada jagah lgti h, SUV ko park krne ke liye bhi bahot jagah lgti h us place me 2 small hatchback park ho skti h. But aajkal ke logo ye baat samjh nhi aati, unki bhi kya galti small cars wale ko ye egoistic suv wale daba dete h
Yeh baat tab samaj aayega, paisa barbaad karne ke Baad. Uske Pehle to hum ko sikhna nahi hai.
I think there is one more reason to buy suv
for its front impact body hight
i saw glanza
jo truck ke piche ja ghusi thi
aur uske front gril ke alava sidha impect uske pillers par pada tha
aur cabin main damage hua tha
lekin uske badle harrier hoti to front aur bonet impect hota naki pillers
aur cabin safe raheta....
Baleno/Glanza ka price aur Harrier mai bohot difference hai. Jo Baleno ya Glanza leta hai uske paas shayad Harrier jitna budget nhi hoga.
Another reason is Nitin Gadkari ji, he has built so many amazing interstate highways. So people now consider travelling between states via car as a real possibility. Hence, it makes more sense to buy SUV now.
Wrong logic . It's better with sedans if road conditions are good since you don't need higher ground clearance.
bro thinks everyone drives on highways
Bhai SUVs are opposite of what you described. It's like saying ab 2 ki jagah 4 log ek saath jaenge so now let's go via motorcycle instead of car. The SUVs are made for offroading. The better long roads mei Sedans are better than SUVs because they are closer to the road which makes more stabilty as centre of mass is lower, sedans perform better in moose test so ekdum se saamne koi aae tho high speed mein instantly lane switch karte waqt car turbulent naa ho and sedans have better aerodynamics and are lighter means zyada speed mei kam fuel consumption compared to SUVs.

Please make a video on compact suv vs midsize suv, because their price clash and it becomes very confusing to choose between the, after considering pros and cons.

It’s so confusing for middle class people like us to choose because both are lucrative options here…

Great observation. But you are missing the macro picture. Generation alfa is going to ditch car ownership completely. They will be considering vehicles and aerial vehicles as a mode of transportation only. Just like around a hundred year back, people considered horse drawn carriages as mode of going from A to B prior to the advent of internal combustion engine.

Sedans like virtus and slavia have 5 star safety and almost 180mm of ground clearance which makes them comparable to the compact suv s
Sedans are my fav
The major reason for me to buy suv was this vehicle scraping due to uneven unauthorised speed breakers. Creating rusting issues in vehicle.
Second also as town road are updating at a steady pace there is a lot of patchy roads.
Where do you live ?
My first car is sedan (Honda city 5th Gen) and I will keep choosing sedan over suv
We loved sedan our first car was dzire now is ciaz and next whenever we going to upgrade will be compact SUV just bc of poor road conditions and the comfort plus affordable
considering indian narrow streets and traffic volume Hatch back cars are best. Or two wheeler
Please check below the engine there is iron casting filled in aluminum box weighing 140kgs, why companies are putting such weight to reduce efficiency in consumption of diesel or petrol.
If you remove it efficiency will increase and sales will increase for car lovers.

Recently bought Honda Aamaze CVT few days ago. Extremely satisfied with the car. Super comfortable and easy to drive. It has all necessary features and top quality engine with good safety standards ratings. Way better than jacked up suv or hatchback. Will always prefer and go for sedan. When ever i go out with sedan, almost every car is mini suv or hatchback now a days. So people are looking at it surprisingly.
I think in the premium segment ( under crore ) only brands left is either a bmw with their 3 series or a merc with their C class . Audi is really outdated with their cars in India . Škoda superb or Octavia have almost died . Yes one more brand - “ TOYOTA” if focuses on their Camry can increase the demand of sedans again because it may happen that Škoda makes their Octavia or superb in India which will reduce their price and with good set of tech it will be good to go . This will also make other German car manufacturers in this segment to decrease their prices for the starting models and offer good set of features to survive in this category. So I think Toyota might be a hope in sedan market too.
Ford and Fiat exit made a vacum in performance hatchbacks. There are some cars which were launched ahead of their time. Cars like Ford Fusion, Chevrolet SRV, Fiat Palio and even Honda Jazz initial version. Had they been successful, Indian market would've been in a different state today.
Sedans have Royal looks, very much safe, but
Parking is difficult with sedans
Ground clearance another issue
