Boss, Time changes, People changes. But a True Enthusiast will always prefer a Sedan over a SUV.

Whatever SUVs will come , i will only go for sedan for their aerodynamic design

Sedan's comfort and SUV's future definitely a slight confusion. Auto market made us to flow with the current trend for sure. Being a sedan supporter very hard for me to say I am going to choose SUV. Looking forward for the second episode.... Well done

Great informations. Thanks a lot. But please dont cut the length. 50-60 mins is perfectly fine.

Bad roads forced many to move with higher ground clearance cars. Buyers of this era likes to take their cars to different terrains without fear, which won't be peacefully possible with Hatchback or Sedan. Until we get better roads or the buyer has limited usage, SUVs will evolve and grow further.. As you said, the comfort and performance is much better with cross over these days.

Dear MW team, this is Sundar from Nebraska & long time family member Interesting podcast, The SUV dominance is same all over here in US too. GM & Ford stopped all its sedan products SUV is the most selling product for any manufacturer There are unheard wait times for telluride , bronco Some reasons from my perspective, Roads are not a factor for switching to SUV as GC is not a factor here in US, also roads are better in India now than times when sedan ruled. Boot space and luggage capacity was not discussed, I feel that is one of the major factor. We can carry more luggage than similar capacity sedans. Commanding driver view, higher seating position is liked my most people as there is a slight corner thinking that they are above all 😁 Please keep up the good work From all time sedan guy ( Aveo, Elantra, Jetta, E350, A6)

Great video team. When I was a kid, i used to draw a full size sedan. In my mind as a kid a real car should look like this(sedan) While playing video games.. nfs underground.. I used to trade Honda Civic and customise to the fullest.. it used to be like a dream car.. being such a fan of sedan’s when I bought my first car in 2015, I couldn’t afford a sedan. Bought 2015 facelifted jazz. One awesome car so reliable and not even a single issue. Delivered me the same efficiency and performance!! I clocked 80k kms..then decided to say good bye.. then the biggest question. What’s next? I decided I want only a sedan.. and I shortlisted rapid and 5th gen city.. then I got my 5th gen city 5 months back!! Yes.. each n every person asked y city? Y not creta or seltos? But y? Is it a crime to buy a sedan in this era? Seriously!! Wanna talk about back seat comfort? Anyone? 😊 I always dreamt to buy a proper sedan. Talking abt city right from my childhood that was (is always) a class apart car! So if ur really a sedan lover even in this era, u can never buy a so called SUV’s whole heartedly!

Sedans love never ends🔥❤️

Such a brilliant episode for car lovers - Couldnt miss the flow for even a minute. Wow-what a great way to explain the evolution of SUVs. hats off to his knowledge and interest in cars!

I still remember the delivery of my eco sport in2014 shifting from 2011 figo. Never knew it was just being of an crossover era. I still drive the eco sport after 7 years of miles much stills feels solid.keep doing more podcast

The design and style of Honda Amaze has always been amusing me for so many years 🤩 Such an aerodynamic structure 👌

It always up and down in industries, if you see the US or any European car sales , some times suv rules for certain time and then seden for certain time , so when people see SUV or tall body vehicle sooner they will feed up with it and will turn to seden , that's how it works 👍

Sedan gives the best feel to drive as well as to travel…our bad roads made me move to SUV parallely i also had sub suv…but now im back to a c segment sedan and i will always have a sedan as my primary segment vehicle…suv will be my secondary segment vehicle…i think this will balance the practicality of our road condition with an sucand desire/comfort to ride with a sedan.

Might be all people goes for suv but I still love sedan in sedan only gives more comfort and look wise stylish and legroom comfortable. Especially good for highways boot space is extraordinary.

Good insights! You have become my favourite auto channel in Tamil, my best wishes!

"car" nu sonnale mind ku varadhu oru sedan structure dhan❤‍🔥. still sedans have tones of fans for sure. and sub 4m suvs dont give ample bootspace like sedans.

Very innovative, interesting and informative way of producing a videos. As a proud owner and fan of VW VENTO TDi very much disappointed with the current SUV trends.. Expecting a lot more videos like this. Hats off to you…👌👌

Hi bro I have seen almost every of ur review videos and first time seeing your podcast video .. Today mrng I saw ur revisit video of zen .I saw that revisit video bcoz we had zen petrol in our garage First we owned Maruthi 800 Then we got maruthi omni V had tata tata sierra old 2 door Contessa Maruthi zen petrol After that we got fiat linea at 2010 After that my dad got additional car that is swift I have used linea single handly for 10yrs I have driven about 2 lakhs kms ..not even my dad has used the car I want to change for a situation. I tried all suv sub4m, compact suv, entry level suv Almont every car nexon,harrier,sonet,seltos,venue,creta,hector xuv500, Honda wrv I didnt like those car bcoz I can't drive in chennai traffic or it doesn't have highway control or stability..monthly I will drive around 3000km in and outside city ..I saw using linea for 10 cars 2 lakhs kms.i wanted to replace it ..my option was only verna city rapid..I got verna and I'm loving it to drive in city n especially in highway..if I cruise at 160 to 170 at cornering I have most control n stability on it ..I don't see any of those car give that confidence..im love sedan cars ..that Era shouldn't end

None of the SUV can give Sedan comfort. I support sedan. Need part 2 video.

As a sedan lover my journey was with Maruti Esteem, Ford Ikon and Honda city till now. When we see Mid SUV, we call soap duppa. But I myself now planning for a car with high ground clearance, 18 inch wheel and sunroof. ❤️ Sedan

awesome episode bro whenever am seeing your episodes, i feel that video finished in 5 min but that 5 min eats 51min thats a true point. Iam a vendor of kia and am always will be in kia manufacturing plant only.

Our first car was swift 2nd gen diesel bought in 2013. Then now in 2021 when we started looking for a next car we were attracted towards SUVs and our preference was diesel. So we took test drive for almost all the sub4m SUVs and got attracted towards ecosport (Since Kicks didnt had a diesel option). But still feel if rapid had a diesel we would have bought it. Its ride quality and comfort was the best among all the cars which I took test drive during this period. Sedans comfort and ride quality can't be matched.

We need more cars like slavia, civic, Linea to honour the term car. SUVs can never be a car. Indian roads must improve drastically to see top sedan from manufacturers.

Nice Content. I bought a Polo TSI manual last year, coz of confusing future b/w IC and EV. But my next car will be a crossover. Indian roads deserve it. Heart is with Slavia, Mind says Kushaq. Let us see the future. Asir bro's suggestion played an important role in selection b/w Polo and Altroz.

Oru katha sollata Saar series! Plz continue. After listening to talking cars, without knowing Malayalam, 60 mins of Ear soothing content. Curious for part 2 #TeamMW

Congratulations team, wonderful episode even changed my mindset from sedan to suv because of parking space in chennai City...I used to take sedan from zoom car for satisfaction..

From our experience, we are training 4 SUVS:2 SEDAN a month. Even in training, we find SUVs to train easy because of the body judgements. Front bonnet visibility makes judgement easy in SUV from training experience of first time car buyers. On the other hand, sedan is easy to train in Narrow streets as we can judge ground objects like dogs, rocks etc.., To add on it solely relies on which area the student lives(North Chennai difficult Narrow roads) and What parking he has (some has deadly ramp slope) ?

An excellent discussion with chronological order of the different models of cars and strategies of manufacturers. You spoke people's mind! In fact I recently went to buy BMW 3 series. But ended up buying B Class for the reasons you spoke. Though it is not an SUV, it has got some features of it in terms of driver seat position, spacious cabin etc., The point I am trying to make is people are moving away from sedans. By the way I am living outside India and regardless of country, the global market is moving towards SUVs I guess as I see the vehicles on roads here!

Unga podcast puthiya muyarchiku ku ennodaya manamarntha vazhthukkal. Intha episode la SUV oda valarchiya pathi miga thelivagavum virivagavum vivathithurukinga migaarumai. TATA Harrier & Safari oru unmayana SUV nu solvinganu romba avala eathirparthean.😊

His narration is very good and interesting to listen.My first time long video I watched without losing interest and yearned to listen more

2013 I was Travelling to chennai from my hometown in Maruthi 800 to Join UG all I could remember is seeing Brown dusters everywhere in Highways Even inside college Never thought it will take over sedans tbh

Recent addition to the motowagon family!! Asir sir! You are absolute beauty, I love seeing your explanations! Coming to your question, my love will love always go for SUV over a Sedan💥

From my perspective, now crossover and SUV are in dominance. It will continue for 1 or 2 decade. Again when people see more SUV's in road, their mind will change and the Sedan dominance will take over. The main + point for SUV is ground clearance and when we get the SUV it enriches the respect with the surrounding people (ex: Politicians going in Fortuner)

True Moto Wagon Team ..Even I forgot SEDAN existence and bought Cross Over Nexon 😜

Super mw team, don't think that we don't see video around an hour because in lockdown it's very useful for timepass and also it feels good 👍

It was too good to see the discussion. Kindly create a playlist for podcast. To your question I had Swift and having SCross now. But the premium I always feel sedan is super and SUV creates the existence and appearance.

I was planning to wait for Skoda Slavia for an upgrade from hatchback and truly wanted to have a piece of German engineering, the absence of diesel engine pushed me to Creta. Crossovers makes sense for our roads and offers much more practicality than C and D segment sedans, sedans are dying by a thousand cuts due to the exceptional value provided by these crossovers.

Very interesting conversation, I love sedans.. sedans will be back may be in a different form, when electric conversions become affordable and make sense..

Bros...! Love your podcast. Would be great if you could improve the volume of audio as I see it's low even though I put the speaker volume to maximum. Awesome content, you must do a podcast on the recent increase of used car sales due to pandemic.

Sedan is always a sedan 🔥🔥 new car buyers wont feel than luxury in compact or midsize suvs.... But ppl who owned cars over a decade wont leave sedans... Its always a gem of a segment amd wont be destroyed 🤩

New XUV700 (for budget and feature) and Taigun (rear design and built) literally changed my preference... Punch is added catalyst...

Very interesting conversation Bro! Listening to this podcast makes me feel like enriched with automobiles market trends for decades though i recently become an auto enthusiast. Miles to go brother! Though it feels heartening to hear Sedan’s pathetic state, I personally feel they continue to exist but prices will be hiked due to low demand.

Like how classical bikes coming back and doing rounds now. Sedans too will revive, may be someday premium carmakers like BMW, Mercedes and Audi can bring affordable D segment sedans. I remember BMW official once said, we have to do aggressive pricing for X1 coz it is the gateway for first time BMW buyers. Like RU-vid virals, crossovers/compact SUVs are in the current trend. Indian roads have come a long way esp highways, that way improved roads going forward will revive sedan market. This is not just a prediction but more EV vehicles in the future, low center of gravity for battery placement, sedans will make a comeback. But interesting content, kudos to Motorwagon team.

Sir, I like your way of presentation. If I come to kanyakumari. I will definitely meet ur team. Your video comparison of Venue and Sonet was amazing and cleared my doubt. Even I am a car fan. But you really give technical awareness too.

Indian road conditions is the main driver for SUVs. Besides we have flexibility of using boot space within the car, which is largely lost in sedans. In fact the crossover attraction have definitely grasped the customers all over the world, not just in India. Especially in the Middle East and US, where fuel prices are not much of a concern people go with SUVs in most cases

Hello Asir i am not that into cars but I randomly stumbled on a vid of yours two weeks back and I am binging your content non stop when I have time. Very addictive plus informative and interesting . Keep it up Sedan valga !

Very informative podcast and slightly ahead of time. While it is true that SUVs are gaining traction, there is a good customer segment for Sedans. The comfort and safety offered by Sedans is unmatched. The sub 4 mtr SUV would actually eat into the hatch/premium hatch segment. Having said, Sedans are just about 18% of global car sales. I believe there will be a stable demand for Sedans especially after EVs take over.

Many indian roads (town / cities) are not suitable for low ground clearance (sedan / hatchback) vehicles. Many were actually looking for higher ground clearance vehicle. Traffic congestion, parking issues discourage sedan buying

Super, Need a second part as well.. Heart breaking 💥 Started my driving Journey with First gen Hondacity (Sold), then Hurricane Endeavour and Figo aspire.. But still Hondacity is the best car for me.. Even when I think of upgrading my aspire only Hondacity (Comfort) is my preference whereas my whole family is voting for Cross over SUVs for the reason of road presence and during rainy days no need to worry abt stagnant waters (Residing in Chennai)... Stil my personal choice Honda City ... Nice detailed and brief explanation...

U you guys pls sit and chat together in one frame ..like my fav cinema channel valaipechu ...it will be interesting...

Enakum intha conversation la kalanthukanum nu aasai ah iruku subscriber live la kalanthukura option kodunga MOTOwagan team❤️

Main reason low seating and cannot sit and getup frequently, bucket seats back pain problem, long distance tiredness...

Mostly it depends on our roads, moods and lifestyle we are migrating to one style to other. Thus the manufacturers are catching and making it to adopt. It goes ever. Loved the interaction and your clarifications. Expecting more like this on your bucket list.

Very informative podcast on the rise and fall of hatchbacks, Sedans and rise and rise only of CUV. In brief Sedan is a Sedan(nothing can beat it's driving dynamics), CUV is a CUV (Meant as bloated hatchbacks feeding on the frenzies of ground clearance, macho looks etc), SUV is a SUV (If truly blooded )and Indian customers are Indian customers falling for gimmicks and changing the market trends and confusing the carmakers with half knowledge and decisions prompted by various factors (fuel efficiency, bad roads, family and peer pressure)😊😅. Changes can happen in the automobile segment only when these dynamics change (Safety first, Environment friendliness and joy of motoring over the joy of others while this may sound idealistic as well 😊)

Asir Anna, I heard a car designer's interview long back, where he said why there would be no family sedans in future in a designer's perspective. He said, powertrain technology in future is going to be totally driven by electric and hybrid. In such cases, it is easy to make a clean and practical family car design accommodating the components of the powertrain in the shape of a crossover, a SUV or a MPV. A traditional three box sedan shape will just make things so complicated and family car designers will shy away from it, he said.

I really missing the sedan era. Your podcast helped me to remember those golden days.

Its my 2nd car, I planned to buy sedan but due to our road condition I choose VENUE performance, comfort and handling worth for the price

👍വളരെ നല്ല പ്രോഗ്രാം. അഭിനന്ദനങ്ങൾ👏. റെനോ കാപ്ച്ചർ എന്ന വണ്ടിയെ പരാമർശിച്ചില്ല.

I think to deal with bad road conditions cars with good ground clearance and big wheels are needed. So to buy only one practical car for the entire family that'll last for atleast 10+ years the ideal choice would be a roomy SUV or a van. I like the idea of high seating position so my favorite would be a pickup truck, but Indian market doesnt have much to offer

@mw , when I opened video, I saw 50+ minutes duration and thought long 🙃 . But after watching, it surprised me that i reached end of the video. Best video of 2022 so far

Interestingly you missed sub 4 metre sedan success be it Dzire or Amaze and its potential future in our market. Nevertheless, when a market discontinues a sedan like Corolla , Accord or even Yaris, we know the sedan market is non existent. I hope City will take the legacy of sedan in the future and will make competitors to come up product like Slavia etc.

Bro.. in our roads.. rains.. I want to prefer mid suv.. but I love the sedan comfort.. it's really confusing in selecting.. Due to external source.. suv section move pana vendiyadhaa irukuu... Kadupaa iruku.. I love sedan.. but vangaa mudiyalaa..🤔🤔

Excellent topic and well narrated guys😊As you said in the last I own a polo 1.5 TDI and I wanted to upgrade it to a 2L Jetta or Octavia TDI.But both are not in the market and I miss those diesel sedans. I truly not a fan of crossovers and SUVs.So fingers crossed and waiting for a enthusiastic diesel sedan😊😊

I still remember 2013 as the beginning year for craze for mini suv's

Thoroughly enjoyed the video ! One of the best motocast...

Awesome work! Glad to hear it in Tamil Also one poin you haven't talked about tata Aria I think it started the crossovergame,to my knowledge

Hello Team, A big fan here... You talked about all manufacturers and their SUVs. What about Honda? They still sustain with Amaze and City! VW are skoda are coming up with Virtus and Slavia. What if the Ciaz and the Dzire gets a generation change? Then we'll have more sedans... Will that create an impact again? Big Indian car manufacturers don't have Sedans.. is that a reason why SUVs are getting famous in India?

Good conversation.. talk about ev batteries. I heard a chinees carmaker byd brings a new battery tech..

As time passes, people and situations change. I had a 2nd generation Maruti Wagonr VXI AMT for 5 years. When it was third year, I was thinking about upgrading to a sedan and my preference was Maruti Ciaz AT. But when I came to purchase decision after 5 years, I ended up buying an XUV 300 Diesel W8(O)AMT couple of months back. First reason Maruti was not having the diesel. Second was build quality, practicality and seating position.

Good one👍 end of the podcast sounda like sedan single ah than vaarum .. crossover than kootama varum. ☺️

Dear MW team, Happy New Year! I have 2 questions, 1. Do you think Indian car buyers are cheated by selling cars that "look" like SUV 2. A sedsn has ground clearance around 160mm.. and SUV approx 190 or 200mm. How much difference do u expert's think, can this 2cm excess gr clearance can make on Indian roads? Pls share ur thoughts.

Suv காரணம் இல்ல Bro 😎. Nessacity dhaan Bro ! I love sedans only But bad roads , rainy seasons, ! Higher ground clearance , cabin space , practicality are the main reasons!

Also as mentioned Nissan kicks is the most underrated suv, during the showroom presence (went 2 3 time while choosing magnite) I feel the same question running over mind, why this car is most underrated, kicks even has a good quality of space and build comparing its competitors creta(1st gen). As mentioned do a video on Nissan kicks👍😊

23:44 yes bro I agree...Hyundai இன்றுவரை எப்போதுமே காத்திருந்து market-ஐ தக்கவைக்கிறது....

Nice, If there is a chance, pls discuss about the variants and must haves in a car while a buyer considering buying a car. Most of the brands have 50 variants 40 variants in a single model. ( Except honda ). How a buyer should choose/pick the variant? For example, Tata Nexon has 44 variants - which will be the VALUE FOR MONEY and have all needed features?

We need more videos like this. Kindly give us knowledge of cars revolution. It's really useful for us

continue moto podcast ,very addictive!!!!!

Am new to cars and stuff. Your channel and works are very helpful in opinion making. Pls try to publish the audio version in Apple Podcasts (and other podcast platforms) too.

bro, crossover's suv nowadays success was. I think the new birth of ecu, abs, ebd, esc, tc, etc......that electronic features will tally high ground clearance, vehicle height ,centre of gravity, etc.... if I am correct , in part 2 podcast confirm it.

THESE PODCASTS ARE AWESOME MW🤩

Hi MotoWagon, Nice & wonderful conversation, I’m new to the MotoWagon family. Recently I bought crossover suv(kiger). Really we forgot sedan (city, fiesta, verana) etc

Sedan kudukura cmfrt entha suv layum varathu becoz of the wheelbase that sedans have i have driven scross, taigun and brezza but ennaya ketta naa drive nd travel panna honda city thaan best sedans are always vera lvl❤❤❤ love u motowagon👍👍

Great video. Learned a lot about automobile industry after watching your channel..Keep doing such type of discussion.

So being a computer engineer I didn't have any knowledge about cars and it's segmens...until I find this channel. In fact we didn't own a car. I mean my parents and their parents... So on. So going ride in the car is some what big thing for us. And I barely...not barely... I had not enjoyed any long ride experiences in car. Till now I drived only two cars. One is Alto 800 for licence. Another one is wagon r(2012). And Yes...! Our first car...😍. We bought it in second hand market. But still a good one. We bought it just before 4 months. Now we are going trips nearby around 50 to 80km... By riding a car and feeling it... It gives comfort and safety over bikes with some additional jolly experiences.... And this makes me feel like car is a essential one for our lives... From your videos ... you are saying as...by riding an SUV it gives comfort and fun to drive experience... By riding an sedan it gives extreme comfort... I like to experience those... Hope I will The point is... Your videos are extremely informative and useful... A guy like me can learn more from your videos... Just by listening... And Thank you so much for your efforts... Computer or Mechanical... Engineering is Engineering.. right? Now I am very curious to know about each engineering things in cars...how engines are designed.. how body designed.. and so on... My request is... Kindly add some engineering things slowly in your playlist... Like types of car bodies.. type of petrol engines, diesel engines...so on... And I need 2nd episode for this SUV discussion... Hope you will do... Thank you 💝

You have done an excellent job. Highly informative, beautiful discussion, unable to discontinue at any time. Thank you for your excellent content. Why you have missed. Chevrolet entry level cross. I think Chevrolet cross & Ford fusion are the only trend changer for the Cross overs/SUV s. Bring more such wonderful coverage. Thank you all for your excellent video. Why don't you mention about Toyota & Jeep co. vehicles?

வேற லெவல் Details Anna... Honda City ZX 10th Anniversary ippo vangalama?

Ford exit India but it's emotions still connected like for Asir bro. Same thought for endeavor I like the old endeavor looks especially the length and rear side ladder is the highlight. Same for ecosport its looks like compact fortuner and highlight is the rear mounted spare wheel with alloy rim.

Today scenario moreover crossover i like to buy because of the bad road condtions im facing daily even i previously drove sedans like esteem, city, fiesta classic, ikon, verna, dzire, ciaz and even most of the hatchbacks still driving, their underchase are getting beaten very badly and suspension was needed to change in quick succession years. That's why obviously I'm switching to suv crossovers for these reasons like enthusiast driving, Commanding view, High ground clearance, big spacious backseats and boot space.

37:29 -- Our road conditions

Really an excellent podcast, time ponadhe theriyala and It bought some good memories. Keep going 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽

Completely enjoyed this content , without skipping a second. Wishing to do more

It was a nice discussion. Really I got a clarity about auto market on past and at present.

Really appreciate this type of conversation,, interesting conversation about SUV and sub SUV

Rightly said SUV rules Magnite ❤

Hey guys. Awesome video as always. Just a suggestion this main video + thumbnail sized video format looks odd. Maybe all of you can sit together in single frame. Just my 2 cents.

Always Sedan...Previously owned Octavia...Now living with City 4th gen....Next car obviously Sedan no doubt....
