Words- Nitika Gulati

The Indian car market seems to be finally coming of age! Not a month passes, without at least one new model foraying into the fast expanding car bazaar and what’s even better is the fact that gone are the days when all manufacturers cared about were high sales from the hatchback segment. Instead,  car makers have now started paying at least equal attention to bigger car segments and have been working to bring the latest of their three box models to our nation. Following is a list of upcoming sedans in India 2014-2015 –
