When we talk about sedans, they make for a sensible upgrade for most of the hatchback owners in India and it is the largest selling body-type in the whole world, and India is an important market for that as well. As 2018 to an end we decided to compile a list of top 5 sedans launched in India in 2018. Keep in mind, though, that the list is in no particular order as the cars serve to a large number of people with varying requirements. With that out of the way, let's get started.

There’s a big grille upfront with rectangular stretched back headlights and teardrop fog LED lights. The Yaris is wider than most of the competitors in the segment, making it a spacious car inside the cabin.
2. Honda Amaze
The current Honda Amaze looks a lot more aggressive and gives the impression of a proper sedan rather than a stretched hatchback and that’s largely due to the wheelbase. Overall the car looks more proportionate. Inside the cabin, the car gets double layered dash finished in black and beige.
