Toyota small car

8 Jan 2009

In India by: late 2009

Will cost: around Rs 3-4 lakh  

Toyota's small car project is the dark horse of 2009 and also one of its best kept secrets. The only news on this front is the massive investment undertaken by Toyota Kirloskar on this front, and the desire of the world's largest car maker to unlock the grand small-car volumes that India promises.

The car is likely to take cues from Toyota's international small car, the Yaris, but we also know is that it will be an all-new car with the involvement of both Indian and Japanese engineers, and that the car will not compete with the Tata Nano but aim one segment higher instead. Watch this space for more.

Other Hatchbacks to be launched in 2009
 Renault Sandero  Tata Nano
 Honda Jazz  Chevrolet Beat
 Fiat Bravo  Fiat Grande Punto
 Suzuki Splash/Ritz  Ford Fiesta / Mazda 2 hatchback
 New Chevrolet Aveo U-VA  New Maini Reva
 Nissan Micra / March  Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDI
