Sedan Cars

A sedan is a bodystyle wherein a car has three distinct compartments for the engine, passengers, and the cargo. It can be distinguished from hatchbacks by the protruding trunk which can be opened up to storage luggage.

A sedan is a car with a lower ground clearance, the driver sits low and is designed for driving on roads and not on rugged terrain. An SUV is large in size, has a higher ground clearance, high seating position and can be driven off-road if it has 4x4 capability. A sedan usually consumes less fuel compared to an SUV.

Some of the best-selling sedans in India are the Maruti Dzire, Honda City, Hyundai Verna, Honda Amaze, Maruti Ciaz, Tata Tigor, Skoda Rapid and Volkswagen Vento.

In India, a compact sedan sits in between the subcompact (often called sub-4m-sedan) and mid-size sedans. A compact sedan usually measures around 4.4m to 4.5m in length. Popular examples are the Honda City and the Hyundai Verna, whereas the sub-4m sedans are the likes of the Maruti Dzire and Honda Amaze. Examples of mid-size sedans include the Skoda Octavia and the Honda Civic.
