Honda Brio Front Profile Although the Honda Brio is no longer present in the Indian market, it is worth a mention because the Brio-Amaze combo was one of the initial days’ hatchback sedan combos that came to India.

Volkswagen Polo & Vento / Ameo
2020 Volkswagen Polo GT TSI This hatchback and sedan duo is so much similar that the Vento is also known as the Polo sedan in some parts of the world! Yes, you read that right. The Polo Sedan or the Vento is still here in the Indian market and continues to sell in decent numbers. Although we want VW to give this duo a facelift, it is still better than a lot of cars present in the Indian market as of now. The Ameo also forms the sub-compact sedan version of the VW Polo. But given the poor reception and sales in India, it’s better to keep it forgotten!

Skoda Fabia and Rapid
Skoda Fabia The performance automaker in India also decided to follow the trend. Although they did it for a short span of time, Indians still remember them among the great cars that ever came to the Indian market. Although Fabia was discontinued long ago, Rapid continues to be the top-seller among the compact sedans in India.
