While the introduction of new sedans will revive sales, competitive intensity is expected to rise as well, analysts said. Overall, sedan sales fell 14.21% in the year ended 31 March as buyers opted for SUVs such as Maruti’s Vitara Brezza and Hyundai’s Creta. For the 2018 fiscal, sales of compact UVs jumped 27.5% to 653,914 units, nearly double the size of the Indian sedan market.
