Maruti Dzire Dominates October 2025 Sedan Sales: Aura, Amaze Shine; Verna, City Drop: Even though SUVs dominate the Indian market today, October 2025 proved that sedans still have a loyal fan base. The month brought strong growth for some models, steady performance for others, and a sharp decline for a few well-known nameplates. As expected, the overall ranking stayed familiar, but the gaps between the cars told a very interesting story.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire: Still the Undisputed No.1 Sedan
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire continued its domination by a huge margin.
In October 2025, it recorded:
- 20,791 units sold
- Compared to 12,698 units in October 2024
- A massive 64% YoY growth – the highest among all sedans
The new-generation Dzire—with a redesigned exterior, upgraded interior, new features, improved safety, and a 5-star crash rating—has helped the model maintain top position for several months.
Hyundai Aura Holds Second Place with Steady Growth
The Hyundai Aura secured the second spot with:
- 5,815 units in Oct 2025
- Up from 4,805 units last year
- 21% YoY growth
Though not as explosive as the Dzire, the Aura’s consistent performance keeps Hyundai strong in the compact sedan segment.
Honda Amaze Shows Impressive 52% Growth
The Honda Amaze came third with:
- 3,630 units in Oct 2025
- Up from 2,393 units a year earlier
- A solid 52% YoY jump
The growth is supported by festive season demand and GST 2.0 price benefits, making the Amaze an attractive entry-level sedan option.
Volkswagen Virtus & Skoda Slavia Continue Their Close Rivalry
In the midsize sedan category, Volkswagen and Skoda maintained their neck-and-neck competition.
Volkswagen Virtus
- 2,453 units
- 4% growth over last year
Skoda Slavia
- 1,648 units
- Almost flat growth (1%) compared to Oct 2024
Both models continue to appeal to customers looking for performance, premium feel, and strong build quality.
Tata Tigor Records 29% Growth
The Tata Tigor, Tata’s only sedan, posted:
- 1,196 units in Oct 2025
- Up from 926 units last year
- 29% YoY growth
This gives Tata a positive boost in a segment where the brand has historically struggled.
Hyundai Verna & Honda City See Sharp Declines
The premium sedan space faced a major setback:
Hyundai Verna
- 824 units, down from 1,272
- 35% decline
Honda City
- 578 units, down from 1,004
- 42% drop
The shift towards SUVs and strong competition is clearly affecting these once-popular midsize sedans.
Toyota Camry Shows 57% Growth
At the bottom of the list but performing well in its niche, the Toyota Camry Hybrid registered:
- 276 units in Oct 2025
- Up from 176 units
- 57% YoY growth
Despite being a premium hybrid sedan, the Camry continues to hold a steady fan base.

Conclusion: Sedans Still Have Loyal Buyers in India
While SUVs are ruling the market, October 2025 proves that sedans still attract strong demand—especially in the compact segment.
The Dzire continues to dominate with record-breaking sales, while models like Aura, Amaze, Virtus, Slavia, and Tigor are also holding their ground.
However, premium sedans like Verna and City are losing momentum.
Sedans may not lead the market anymore, but they are far from disappearing—proof lies in the numbers.
