Hyundai Aura took the second position with sales of 4,587 units, registering a year-on-year growth of 8.59% compared to 4,224 units sold a year ago. Honda Amaze stood second with 2,856 units and emerged as the fastest growing sedan among the major players with 41.46% YoY growth.

Volkswagen Virtus recorded sales of 1,162 units, which saw a decline of 27.60% compared to April 2025. Combined sales of Tata Tigor and Tigor EV stood at 962 units, down 25.77% year-on-year.

Toyota Camry recorded a decline of 30.90% in sales to 199 units, while Honda City recorded the sharpest year-on-year decline among sedans, falling by 56.40% to 177 units.
