In this article, we’re explaining 4 new sedans from carmakers – Maruti Suzuki, Honda, Skoda, and Citroen launching this year and why it’s worth waiting for these sedans as they’ll be loaded with tons of features making them worth buying over the others.
Skoda is set to re-introduce the 3rd Gen Superb for the Indian market since it was discontinued due to it failing to comply with BS6 norms. The 3rd Gen Superb will be powered by the updated 2.0 L Turbo Petrol producing 188 BHP and 320 NM of torque paired to 7 Speed DSG (or DCT) Gearbox. However, Skoda will be importing as CBU unit and will introduce L&K (Lauren & Klein) trim only. It has features like 360 Surround View Camera, New Infotainment System, active TPMS, 9 Airbags, ventilated and heated seats, ADAS with functions such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and more.
Last month, Skoda had unveiled the 4th Gen Superb globally which saw it getting big exterior and interior changes, some new features, and powertrain options. There is no word when it’ll make its way to India but we expect to hear something about it near the end of 2024.

Citroen has been testing the C3X for months now, and what we know so far is the sedan is based on the CMP Modular Platform which underpins other of its Citroen models – C3, and C3 Aircross. It’ll compete with Tata Curvv SUV, and Sedans like Hyundai Verna, VW Virtus, Skoda Slavia, Honda City, and Maruti Ciaz. The C3X looks very similar to its siblings like the front fascia similar to C3 Aircross or C3, taillamps same except it’ll be tweaked a little to differentiate, and it’ll get new X-shape 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
Jumping to cabin, it’ll look largely the same as it siblings and it’ll sport 10.25-inch infotainment system and digital instrument cluster. In Engine Options, it’ll be equipped with the same 1.2 L Turbo Petrol engine producing 108.62 BHP and 190 NM of torque paired to 6 Speed Manual and Automatic Gearbox. In Safety, it’ll get 2 Airbags, TPMS, Manual IRVM, Rear Parking Camera, ISOFIX anchorages, and few more. Since an aggressive pricing is expected, the C3X will likely miss out on ventilated seats, powered driver seats, ADAS, sunroof, just to list a few.
We should be hearing more about the C3X in the coming weeks.
The new Dzire is in works and it’ll sport design language similar to the Swift. The next-gen Dzire will get new front grille, bumpers, new sleeker LED headlamps and tail lamps. It’ll also be getting new 16-inch alloy wheel design. Jumping to the cabin, it’ll get new 9-inch free-standing infotainment system, new HVAC control panel, updated dashboard design, and so much more. Moreover, the Dzire will get the new 1.2 L 3 Cylinder Z-Series Petrol Engine which will have less power output to improve the fuel efficiency over the current version.
It’ll be getting new features like 360 surround view camera, wireless charging pad, 6 Airbags, 9-inch free-standing infotainment system with Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and so much more.
It’s expected to launch some time after the new Swift launch in early 2024.
The next-gen Honda Amaze is built on the platform that underpins the City Sedan, the Honda ACE Platform, and it’ll likely adopt similar design language as well, and share some similarity to Accord (sold internationally) like the new grille with hexagonal-like pattern, thinner and sleeker LED DRLs within the LED headlamp unit, and the aggressive bumpers over the current version.
The interior, we expect the interiors to get new design layout to accommodate new 8-inch infotainment system. Moreover, it’s possible the layout could be similar to the City like new 4-spoke steering wheel, vertically positioned AC vents, dual-tone treatment for the dashboard, separate wireless charging pad space below the Climate Control, and a single-pane sunroof, making it the first sedan in the segment to offer this feature.
In the New-Gen Amaze, it’ll be getting new features like 8-inch Infotainment System with Wireless Apple Carplay / Android Auto, 6 Airbags, Auto-Dimming IRVM, Single-Pane Sunroof, and ADAS with functions like Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, etc.
We should definitely hear more about the New-Gen Amaze later this year.
