Gone are the days when the Fiat and the Ambassador were seen in the streets in India. Now the Indian car market is flooded with world class brands and top automobile manufacturers are giving increasing stress on providing better after sales service to its customers. So in case you are stepping out to drive your dream machine, there is a plethora of option in front of you.

The D Segment cars are those which are available at a price below Rs 5 lakhs. This segment was being predominantly ruled by the Tata and Maruti and the Hyundai. But with the introduction of Chevrolet Spark and Aveo U-VA, General Motors India has thrown a tough competition to these heavyweights.

Of late segment C which comprises cars in the price band of Rs 5 lakhs to Rs 10 lakhs has witnessed a phenomenal growth with the launch of ‘General Motors’ Chevrolet SRV, Chevrolet Aveo, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Verna, Ford Ikon, Ford Fiesta et al.

Segment B, that ranges between Rs. 10 laks to Rs 15 lakhs, is primarily dominated by the diesel cars like Scoda Octavia, Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla and the recently launched Chevrolet Optra Magnum and Optra Platinum to heat up the competition.

Segment A ranging from Rs. 15 lakhs and above, however, is ruled by Daimler Chrysler, and with the launch of its M Class its has further strengthened its position in this segment. Amongst other players Honda CRV, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata are few of the worth mentioning names here.
