      During 2013, the Indian car market witnessed the launch of a number of vehicles from major car makers. Since the beginning of 2013, the sales for passenger cars have registered a dip lately prompting car companies to launch new vehicles. At present, the car market is flooded with a lot of models ranging from hatchbacks to Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs). The same trend is expected to continue for 2014 as the demand might further go down in that year. Car companies like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors and Honda are in the pipeline to launch newer cars in 2014. Here is a list of some of most anticipated launches to happen in 2014.
