In 2025, India's automotive market saw no new mass-market hatchback or sedan launches, a first in history. While SUVs and crossovers dominated new releases, existing sedan models like the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Honda Amaze continued to sell well, having been launched in late 2024. The market shift favors SUVs, leading to the discontinuation of models like the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. Limited-run, high-priced imported sedans and hatchbacks were also introduced, but did not cater to the mass market.
