Sedan Segment Remains Dzire-Centric

With more than two-thirds of all sedan sales coming from a single model, the segment remains heavily concentrated around compact sedans. While premium sedans such as Virtus, Slavia, Verna and City continue to attract enthusiasts, their combined volumes remain well below Dzire’s monthly sales.
