Summary

Now we have discussed about the top three sedans with maximum power specifications, it’s time to take a quick look at other cars which haven’t made into the list but might make sense for you as a buyer. The Nissan Teana for instance comes with a 180 Bhp, 2.5-litre V6 engine, but is mated to a CVT (automatic) transmission which pulls down its performance.  The Accord comes with a 277 Bhp 3.5-litre V6 engine but it costs more than Rs. 25 lakh (ex-showroom).  Given below is a list of the power output of popular luxury sedans (petrol) priced between Rs. 16 lakh – 25 lakh.
