The festive season is upon us and the carmakers have been active with myriads of tempting offers on popular cars to spur demand
In this post, I shall cover the top 5 sedan discounts in October in India. This September to November window is considered extremely auspicious due to the prominent Hindu festivals. Each year, people perform new activities during these times and shopping is a huge part of it. While there are enticing offers on just about everything you wish to buy these days, we will exercise our bias towards the automobile industry and discuss the top offers on vehicles this month. As a result, these months often post the strongest monthly sales figures throughout the year. Let us delve into the specifics of this case.
Top 5 Sedan Discounts in October
| Sedan | Discount (up to) |
| Skoda Slavia | Rs 2.5 lakh |
| Honda Amaze | Rs 96,000 |
| Honda City eHEV | Rs 90,000 |
| Hyundai Verna | Rs 45,000 |
| Maruti Ciaz | Rs 43,000 |
Skoda Slavia
Let us commence this list with the Skoda Slavia. Slavia is a critical product for the Czech car marque. It represents the success of MQB A0 IN architecture which the VW Group developed specifically for India. In fact, after the arrival of Skoda Slavia and Kushaq in our market, India became the largest car market for Skoda outside Europe. That is a testament to how well the Indian consumers received these cars. Due to heavy localization, Skoda cars now feel much more value for money. This month, you can avail of benefits on the old-stock Slavia with two airbags worth up to Rs 2.5 lakh. This amount incorporates Exchange Bonus and Corporate Offers. That is quite a hefty benefit.
Honda Amaze
Next up, we have the Honda Amaze on this list. It is a volume-churning mid-size sedan from the Japanese auto giant. Despite being in the same segment as the mighty popular Maruti Dzire, the Amaze has been able to hold its own. That is a validation of the fact that people have accepted it warmly. To be honest, a thorough update for the sedan has been due for a long time now. Perhaps that is the reason why Honda is offering such enticing benefits on the Amaze. For the month of October, you can experience offers worth up to Rs 96,000. That is a massive amount for a vehicle which starts at Rs 7.20 lakh, ex-showroom. The specifics are:
- Cash Discount – Rs 50,000
- Exchange Bonus – Rs 20,000
- Corporate + Loyalty Benefit – Rs 26,000
Honda City eHEV
Then we have the elder sibling of the Amaze, the City eHEV. The suffix represents that this is the strong hybrid variant. Note that the City sedan is available with a regular petrol or a strong hybrid engine. The latter is much pricier but offers incredible mileage figures. People looking for a car with low running costs often opt for it. If this vehicle was on your radar, the current month might be the ideal time to write a cheque. Honda is offering benefits worth up to Rs 90,000 on this trim. The breakdown of this amount is:
- Cash Discount – Rs 70,000
- Honda 3-Year Service Maintenance Pack – Rs 20,000
Hyundai Verna
Arguably the most popular mid-size sedan in the country, Hyundai Verna is the next vehicle on our list of the top 5 sedan discounts in October. Verna has been setting benchmarks in terms of amenities and powertrains on offer in this category. In fact, with the current model, the Verna is the most powerful vehicle in the segment. It comes with the latest bells and whistles to pamper the buyers. This time around, customers can enjoy offers and benefits worth up to Rs 45,000 on the Korean sedan. This encapsulates:
- Cash Discount – Rs 25,000
- Exchange Bonus – Rs 20,000
Maruti Ciaz
Finally, this list of the top 5 sedan discounts in October concludes with the Maruti Ciaz. We all know that the largest car marque in the country has not updated the Ciaz for years now. In fact, there were many speculations floating around about the Ciaz being discontinued. However, it somehow keeps selling month after month. Since its competitors have been updated so heavily, it emerges as a much more affordable alternative for a whole bunch of people. In any case, it is available with a discount of up to Rs 43,000 for this festive season. That is a hefty amount considering the price of the vehicle starts at Rs 9.40 lakh, ex-showroom.
- Cash Discount – Rs 15,000
- Exchange Bonus – Rs 25,000
- Corporate Offer – Rs 3,000
