Best Sedan in 5-6 Lakhs Range

Heard that i20 Diesel is going to be around 7 LAKH on road.

Lets wait and watch.

Ya I-20 Diesel will be more practical car, if you need space and economy of diesel. Just wait for 2-3 months, you will have better options. As said in your earlier reply, if you can stretch for 1 Lakh, Linea it will be great choice. Though little bit under powered for it's size, it is VFM car with good blend of space and ecocnomy. Further if you are ready to spend few bucks more for I-20 Diesel, you must consider Linea at the same time. Because you get extra boot space and mind blowing looks.

All the best.

Guys I have shortlisted final two:

1. Accent Executive

2. Swift Dzire VXi

I am going to convert above cars to CNG thats for sure. (Not considering Diesel option any more.)

So, which one will be good it terms of mileage, comfort and VFM?

In that case, go for Accent CNG - suggested/discussed before (others).

As Pankaj mentioned Accent CNG is your best deal, in your special circumstances.

No need to wait for i20 diesel or any other car.  Only way it can be better, if your dealer fits CNG (Hyundai appoved)  in your i20 Asta with warranty.  You will have the latest and modern car with more space, more features and the running cost which can not be beaten for your high mileage - A Gem. 

I heard they will launch 1.4 L petrol engine very soon for 30-40K extra - if you want to consider that for race driving with 5 people.

I don't want to offend you but it is true worldwide that new model is not created by adding a trunk (Dicky) to an existing car (Dzire vs Swift).  It happens only in India, where every one starts driving car with Maruti 800 (a 30 year old car in India) with no change.   Swift/Dzire has over 20 years old engine without any meaningful improvement.  As such, Suzuki is not an innovative company and has no modern engine under its belt except engine of Ritz and a 660 cc engine which they use in Japan.   Name a  diesel engine which is developed by Suzuki.  Actually, in developed world, Suzuki is a loss making operation but they make tons of money in developing countries, where competition is not significant.  R&D is a luxury and expensive but it keeps a company apart from others.  This adds to cost of a company product.  That is why Jazz is more expensive than Swift.  R&D expenses of Suzuki is minimal compared to other recognized auto companies.  Practically, all experts agree that plastic of Getz is lot better in quality and touch than say Swift.  Car performance is always measured in straight line.  Who will accelerate 0-100 on a zig zag road.

Fiat GP is an old car in world market but it is a good car.  Indians are seeing it for the first time, that does not change the basic fact.  Huyndai is only auto company in India which launches new cars in India as soon as it launches a car to the world, So Indians feel Accent is old and GP is brand new.  Jazz is not new either for the world.  Sorry to say too much here

Nicely written Amit. It supports my understanding to go for Accent Executive.

Amit , i wrote it keeping in mind discussion .

You are right . By just adding dicky will not make new car. But even for adding dicky you need vision , policy . Maruti has it. They have done that successfully. They know very well what they are doing . They are not confused about their products. They know their customers & more importantly Indian market. It is nothing wrong to add a dicky in existing hatchback . They are simply fulfilling the aspiration of indian middle class family to have sedan at reasonable price.

Nobody has stopped any other comapny to do so.

As far as Hyundai is concerned ,initially  they priced their products much higher & later they started giving discounts. It is a history in India.It also shows that their products are not worth what they are claiming. It is a confession by company itself . Why they are still having Accent & Getz in India when both these products are phased out in international market ? Is it because ours is developing country ? Or are they trying to cash on consumer ignorance ?

Getz is a proven failure in Indian market. No body can deny that.

All cars came late in India but it is decided by market alone.

Well Ashish, i agree with Amit that Grande Punto is not a new model (unlike i10 or i20) and Swift Dzire is not an ingenius product from Maruti, it's made from an existing model and looks like an add-on. About Getz being not a success in India, please be informed that Getz was a best seller in England but now they replaced it with i20 (even Swift was accepted--i admit).  Hyundai Accent is also well accepted abroad, eventhough there the Accent is our Verna.
