There are indeed beautiful sedans here that just try and blend style with decent performance and comfort for all.
Hyundai Verna
The car comes attractively designed, and with its powerful engine options, the Hyundai Verna continues to stand out. It is mated to a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine churning out 115hp and a 1.5L turbo-petrol engine that delivers a class-leading 160hp. Among all versions of Verna, the turbo-petrol gets to house a 7-speed DCT, and the car has the biggest boot space in its category with a 528-liter capacity.
Price:₹10.90-₹16.20 lakh
Skoda Slavia
The Skoda Slavia is a beauty combined with performance, which comes in two turbo-petrol engine variants. The former houses a 1.0L TSI that renders 115hp of power, and the latter one is more powerful at 150hp thanks to the 1.5L TSI. Overall, the Slavia is quite roomy inside, more so than ride-quality-wise, and can be a comfortable long-distance cruiser. It also comes with a 521-liter boot.

Volkswagen Virtus

Honda City
Honda City continues to run in the fray with its established legend of good reliability and comfort. The 2024 model comes in the form of a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine and also as a hybrid variant.
