When buying a used car, factors like depreciation and resale value are crucial. Sedans, while less popular than hatchbacks or SUVs, still enjoy a niche demand. Among them, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire stands out under ₹5 lakh, with a low depreciation rate due to its reliability, low maintenance costs, and efficient engines. It depreciates steadily over five years and retains value better than many rivals. In the mid-size sedan segment under ₹10 lakh, the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz offers even better value retention than the Honda City or Hyundai Verna. Despite being discontinued in 2025, the Ciaz remains sought after for its spacious interiors, premium styling, and frugal engine options. Both sedans share key traits like comfort, affordability, and reliability, which contribute to their strong resale value in the used car market.
