The former segment has Maruti Dzire, Ford Aspire, Hyundai Xcent, Volkswagen Ameo and Honda Amaze. The latter has Ciaz, Vento, Verna, Rapid and Yaris. Earlier, Renault had the Scala for this segment.
In the growing popularity of SUVs, Renault is planning for a sedan. Well, the sub-4 metre sedan segment is also very popular in India, given that you get a compact car with a sedan-styled body, well under the budget of Rs 10 Lakhs.

The sub-compact SUV from Renault will take on the likes of Hyundai Venue, Maruti Vitara Brezza, Mahindra XUV300, Tata Nexon and Ford EcoSport. This segment is also very competitive and Renault needs to either give some segment-first features or undercut the prices of most of the SUVs.
