Toyota Vios
The mid-size sedan segment in India is largely dominated by 3 players, as mentioned above. However, Toyota has a perfect product to match the offerings in this segment. The Vios mid-size sedan looks like it is tailor made for the Indian market, but its arrival in India has been long overdue. Sharing the design cues with the Camry, especially in the front, the Vios is spacious, gets premium interior and feature loaded. It is expected that Toyota will launch the Vios this year at Rs 8-12 lakh.
Honda Amaze Facelift
Their used to be a time when the compact sedan market was the most competitive segment in India with products like the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Ford Aspire, Honda Amaze and many more. However, Maruti has gone leaps and bounds ahead with the new gen Dzire, leaving competition behind. Honda will try to regain the magic with the facelifted version of the Amaze sedan, which was often touted as a brilliant overall package. Expect an updated cabin design and feature list.
All-new Audi A8
Apparently, India has a big market for flagship sedans like BMW 7-Series, Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8. However when it comes to sheer brand value, a lot of celebrities and politicians prefer BMW or Mercedes over the Audi A8. This equation can fast be changed post the launch of the new Audi A8. The new sedan is more tech-laden than ever before and has Level 3 autonomous driving technology. The long-wheelbase A8 with a full suite of features will have massage functions, temperature controlled footrests and more.

The CLS sedan will one such launch in 2018 and will replace the second-generation CLS with ‘four-door coupé’ body style. The CLS have always been one of the best looking cars in the country and the third-generation CLS will continue with the same theme. Mercedes will borrow engines, driver assistance systems and other interior options from the S-class.
