Indian automobile sector is abundant with a plethora of sedan models, both from Indian as well as global brands, which have been quite successful in the market. Be it in the respect of sales or on the basis of crowd favouritism, these cars have scored well in all aspects. Two of the most popular cars in this category are Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and Fiat Linea.
