2014 has come to an end. On the flipside, a bright 2015 awaits our gleam. Learning from our past mistakes and getting better on the good deeds set us going in the future. And to understand it better, listed down are the great car launches of 2014 that have said ‘Yes’ to the automaker to get going aggressively ahead. See to learn more...
Maruti Celerio
The first one to name that gorgeously marked 2014 as its brightest part of life, has to be the Maruti Celerio that started the trend of going automatic at a pocket friendly price tag.
Nissan Datsun GO
The winning streak that Nissan was aiming for the long past in India against Maruti and its likes was attained after the launch of Datsun GO hatchback. At the cost of a compact car, here, you get the complete hatchback with powerful engine and enormously spaced cabin.
Honda Mobilio
The task of taking the success story to a next level, for Honda in 2014 came the Mobilio to handle the sales where only Maruti Ertiga was a major rival cashing that particular segment. Must admit, being a MPV Mobilio looks smart and precisely shaped.
Tata Zest
Tata’s best proportion of the marketing strategies cannot get better than this. Interestingly, the launch of Zest in 2014 made a mark of being the cheapest diesel automatic car available in India.
Hyundai Elite i20
The i20 that had always stayed ahead of rivals has finally notched altogether to a new platform with the ‘Elite’ model. European looks on outer and ample of features inside, that’s how the Hyundai had strategized this hatchback in Indian market.
Toyota Etios Cross
Toyota’s only model that could be remembered for this year is the Etios Cross. As based on the Etios hatchback, it is galled with plastic cladding and high ground clearance for appearing as a substitute of compact SUV or a crossover without compromising the driving comfort of hatchback.
Fiat Avventura
Fiat’s Avventura is a shortcut to the compact SUV as utilized the hatchback Punto to climb up this segment. That spare wheel at rear and the other additions with a raised ground clearance makes it a perfect buy.
Toyota Altis
Very few may know and may have spotted on the road; Toyota Altis in 2014 avatar had silently made the debut. In its usual decent attire, the practical push of that Toyota had just got better.
Maruti Ciaz
Maruti after a gap of seven years once again housebreak into that sedan segment with Ciaz of SX4. Ciaz on the cosmetic front looks very dated to outdo rivals, but is it really going to do so in the long run, can be judged only in 2015.
Hyundai Xcent
We know, Xcent is quite good for value, and perhaps, Hyundai know well how to market its product and sleek out that profitable quarter against the rivals like Amaze and Dzire.
Audi A3
Ultimately, the show stopper of 2014 is Audi A3 which seemed to have had a last laugh at BMW 1-Series, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and B-Class. To our surprise, the convertible version of A3 is also launched making the automaker to kill many birds with a single stone, and walk the talk as of a true lifestyle inspired automaker that combines utility as well. A3 is the best example to say that all!
