If you are planning to buy a sedan this month, there are very few deals on offer. Here are the 10 best ones we've found

Despite strong competition from compact SUVs, midsize sedans aren’t buckling under pressure and offering heavy discounts to combat its new rivals. There aren’t too many exciting deals on offer in the mid-premium sedan segments but there are a few that can’t be ignored. New cars like the Honda City have arm-twisted Hyundai to offer a sizable discount on the popular Verna and Maruti’s slow-selling SX4 too gets a chunky amount off its sticker price. There are few discounts on premium sedans too like on the Elantra, Altis and Superb.

1. Maruti SX4

Discounts and offers on the SX4 range between Rs 23,000-58,000 depending on the variant. It’s a good time to buy the diesel SX4 with the venerable 1.3-litre multijet engine under its hood since it comes with a cash discount, exchange bonus and a corporate discount bundling to Rs 58,000.

2. Tata Indigo eCS

The eCS is an old platform and has been on sale for long enough. In wake of fresher competition, it has become a necessity to win customers by using the price card. Hence Tata Motors is offering an Rs 40,000 discount bundle on this budget sedan which is about 7-8 percent off its sticker price.

3. Toyota Corolla Altis

The new Altis is due in May so the current Altis should be available with huge discounts to clear stock in the coming month. Right now, there is an Rs 40,000 discount on it but we expect it to increase next month. Hold on to your purchase but that could also risk the stock running out.

4. Hyundai Verna

Honda’s City pricing must have sent a few shock waves at Hyundai. The otherwise unbeatable Verna is now going at a discount of Rs 35,000 for the petrols and Rs 40,000 for the diesels.

Model	Variant	Details of discounts	Total discount
Verna	1.4 VTVT	Cash Discounts Rs 10000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 20000 + Corporate discounts Rs 5000	35000

5. Hyundai Elantra

The Elantra comes with a similar discount as the Verna but with a higher exchange bonus. Selling your old car in an exchange offer will not give you as much as you could make on it in a private sell so in effect, the exchange bonus isn’t that great a deal.

Elantra	S	Cash Discounts Rs 10000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 25000	35000

6. Mahindra Verito

Mahindra has had the Verito on sale for about seven years and all investments in the budget sedan must have been recovered. Hence the company is able to offer a Rs 35,000 discount on the sedan.

Verito	1.4 G2	Cash Discounts Rs 15000 + Exchange Bonus Rs 15000 + Corporate Discounts Rs 5000	35000

7. Toyota Etios

The Etios isn’t really setting the sales charts on fire but that doesn’t bother Toyota. Discounts between Rs 20,000-25,000 on the slow selling sedan doesn’t really seem like a tempting deal.

Etios	G	Exchange Bonus Rs 10000 + Free Accessories Worth Rs 10000 + Corporate Discount Rs 5000	25000

9. Skoda Superb

Skoda doesn’t believe in discounts. The company sets a fixed corporate discount on each model. The Superb gets Rs 17,500 off on each variant which is less than 1 percent of the car’s price.

10. Maruti Swift Dzire

The Dzire is the best selling compact sedan in India and gives its hatchback sibling a tough time on the sales charts. The diesel Dzire in recent months is facing a lot of resistance though with the reducing price gap between the two fuels so Maruti cannot command the same premium on the diesel Dzire as it used to. It now comes with a Rs 15,000 exchange bonus coupled with a Rs 2,000 corporate discount.

Dzire	LXi	Corporate Discounts Rs 3000	3000
