Upcoming Sedan Cars in India 2016
Tata Kite 5 (Tiago Compact Sedan)
Leading our list of the Upcoming Sedan Cars in India 2016 -17 is the Tata Kite5. Tata Motors, the company who gave birth to the compact sedan in India with the Indigo CS, seems to be betting big on the segment to push sales and regain some lost ground. Tata is working on a derivative of the Tiago, which they will place below the Zest and is currently known as the Kite 5. It will also, in all probability, be the cheapest compact sedan on sale in India. Based on the recently launched Tiago hatchback, it made its public debut at the Auto Expo 2016. Expect a starting price of around INR 4.0 lacs

Volkswagen Ameo Diesel
Next on our list of Upcoming Sedan Cars in India 2016 -17 is the diesel variant of the new Ameo compact sedan. Volkswagen unveiled the Polo based compact sedan back in February 2016. It went on sale in June at a starting price of just INR 5.14 lacs. However, it is only available with a petrol engine currently. Volkswagen will launch the Ameo with a diesel engine option in the coming months. The engine powering the Volkswagen Ameo Diesel will be an updated version of the 1.5 TDI Diesel. It will churn out around 110 bhp and 250 Nm. It will also get VW’s 7-speed DSG automatic as an option.
| Engine Type/Displacement | 1.5-litre Diesel |

2016 Honda City Facelift
The Honda City could get a makeover by the end of this year. The 2016 Honda City facelift will sport a host of visual updates to take on the Maruti Ciaz. It could also get a set of new features and a slight price cut. The City 2016 launch is likely to take place by November, 2016. Engine options will be the same but the Petrol could get a 6-Speed Manual Transmission. Also, the fuel mileage could witness a slight increase.

2016 Volkswagen Vento Facelift

Also, the Vento facelift will get a new 1.5-litre Diesel engine with 250 Nm of torque. Apart from this, the car could also get a price cut. The Vento has been fast losing out the cars like the City, Ciaz and Verna. The upcoming facelift, however, could change things in favour of the Vento.
| Engine Type/Displacement | 1.5-litre Diesel/1.2-litre Petrol/1.6-litre Diesel |
| Power | 103 BHP/103 BHP/103 BHP |

2017 Hyundai Verna
The 2017 Hyundai Verna should be here by mid-2017. The new Verna looks sharper than the current model and features a more modern design. We’re expecting the current set of petrol and diesel engines to make it to the 2017 Verna. However, the 4-speed AT might make way for a newer 6-speed automatic transmission.
| Engine Type/Displacement | 1.4 L/1.6 L Petrol/1.4L/1.6 L Diesel |
| Power | 106 BHP/121 BHP/89 BHP/126 BHP |
| Torque | 135 Nm/155 Nm/220 Nm/259 Nm |

| Mileage (Estimated) | 16-23 KMPL |
| Expected Launch | Mid-2017 |
| Price (Estimated) | Rs. 8.10-13.47 lakhs |
Honda Accord
Honda makes it into our list of the Upcoming Sedan Cars in India 2016 -17 with the new Honda Accord. It will make a comeback in 2016 after being discontinued due to lacklustre sales. One of the major reasons for that was the lack of a diesel engine option. This lead to competitors such as the Skoda Superb poaching buyers from Honda. Diesel variants of the Accord are not on the cards. Instead, Honda will bring the hybrid version to India. Available internationally, it will help counter the threat from its diesel counterparts and also from the Toyota Camry Hybrid.
| Engine Type/Displacement | 2.0 litre Petrol hybrid |
| Power | 196 bhp |
| Torque | -NA- |
| Transmission (Gearbox) | CVT Automatic |
| Mileage (Estimated) | 15-18kpl |
| Expected Launch | October 30 2016 |
| Price (Estimated) | INR 35 lacs |
Volvo S90
Volvo looks all set to launch the S90 in India in the coming months. The S90 sedan will replace the ageing S80 in India. It will rival the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF. Bookings for the sedan are already open at Volvo dealerships and we have managed to get our hands on the price as well, which will start at INR 57 lacs (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
| Engine Type/ Displacement | 2.0 L Turbo Diesel |
| Power | 190 bhp/235 bhp |
| Torque | 400 Nm/480 Nm |
| Transmission (Gearbox) | 8-speed automatic |
| Mileage (Estimated) | 19-20 kpl |
| Expected Launch | September 2016 |
| Price (Estimated) | INR 57 lacs |
Toyota Vios
We expect Toyota to launch the Vios sedan in India in the next 10-12 months. This mid-size sedan has been on sale in international markets for quite some time and has tasted a lot of success as well. When launched in India, the Vios will compete with the Honda City, Maruti Ciaz and the likes. The Vios will share its engines with the Etios or the Corolla. Expect prices to start at around the 8 lakh mark. We’ve been expecting the Vios in India for many years now, but the Japanese car maker is yet to confirm any such plans.
| Engine Type/ Displacement | 1.5 litre Petrol/1.4 litre diesel |
| Power | 88 bhp/87 bhp |
| Torque | 132 Nm/205 Nm |
| Transmission (Gearbox) | 6-speed manual |
| Mileage (Estimated) | 15-18kpl/20-21 kpl |
| Expected Launch | 2017 |
| Price (Estimated) | INR 9-12 lakhs |
2016 Honda Civic
The second Honda on our list of Upcoming Sedan Cars in India 2016 -17 is the new Civic. The Honda Civic‘s history in India is similar to that of its stablemate, the Accord. Dwindling sales due to the presence of cheaper, diesel equipped alternatives meant the Civic was taken off the shelves after the next generation was launched internationally. The 2016 Honda Civic sedan made its debut last year. And we’re expecting it to come to India by the end of 2016. Powering 1.8-litre could be a 1.8-litre petrol and the 1.5-litre that power the City. While it might not be the most powerful diesel unit out there, it will still be more powerful than the segment leader Corolla and will also make the Civic one of the most frugal sedans around.
| Engine Type/ Displacement | 1.8 litre Petrol/1.5 litre diesel |
| Power | 130 bhp/99 bhp |
| Torque | 172 Nm/200 Nm |
| Transmission (Gearbox) | 6-speed manual/CVT |
| Mileage (Estimated) | 15-18kpl/23-25 kpl |
| Expected Launch | End 2016 |
| Price (Estimated) | INR 13-15 lacs |
2016 Chevrolet Cruze
The current Chevrolet Cruze has been around for too long now, a fact which is well reflected in its sales figures. After successful initial years in the market, the craze for the Cruze faded away as GM failed to bring in regular updates. The next generation model came out recently and will come to India. The launch should take place by early 2017. The sedan still remains one of the most powerful diesel offerings and easily the best value for money in the segment. However, it has lost out to newer competition like the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, etc.
| Engine Type/ Displacement | 2.0 litre diesel |
| Power | 151 bhp |
| Torque | 380 Nm |
| Transmission (Gearbox) | 6-speed manual/6-speed automatic |
| Mileage (Estimated) | 15-20 kpl |
| Expected Launch | Early 2017 |
| Price (Estimated) | INR 13-15 lacs |
Chevrolet Essentia (Beat Compact Sedan)
The Essentia is the third compact sedan in our list of Upcoming Sedan Cars in India 2016 -17. During the Auto Expo in February, GM took the wraps off two new concepts for India. One of them was the Essentia compact sedan, a derivative of the new Beat. The new Beat will come in two body styles- hatchback and a compact sedan. The compact sedan segment in India is currently one of the most popular and could help GM get back up on its feet and become a key player in the market again.
| Engine Type/ Displacement | 1.2 litre petrol |
| Power | 79 bhp |
| Torque | 108 Nm |
| Transmission (Gearbox) | 5-speed manual |
| Mileage (Estimated) | 15-20 kpl |
| Expected Launch | Early 2017 |
| Price (Estimated) | INR 4.5-6 lacs |
New Mercedes-Benz E-Class
As far as luxury cars are concerned, the new E-Class is easily one of the most anticipated Upcoming Sedan Cars in India 2016 -17. The all-new E-Class will make its way into Indian showrooms by the first half of 2017. The design of the new E is in line with the latest S-Class and C-Class models. In its latest avatar, the new E also gets an LWB version. But, for now, the LWB variant is only for markets such as China. There is a possibility of it coming to India as well. Engine line-up will be the same as the current model.
| Engine Type/ Displacement | 2 litre petrol |
| Power | 184 bhp/204 bhp/265 bhp |
| Torque | 300 Nm/500 Nm/620 Nm |
| Transmission (Gearbox) | 7-speed AT |

| Expected Launch | Early 2017 |
| Price (Estimated) | INR 50-70 lacs |
2017 Maruti Dzire
It is no secret that Suzuki is currently working on the all-new Swift. However, sources suggest work on the next generation Dzire is also underway and the compact sedan is likely to come to India before the Swift hatchback. It will get new styling inside out and additional features. Engine options are likely to remain the same.
