![]() With power ranging from 65-85 bhp, these engines will also power a notchback that will compete with the likes of the Suzuki Swift Dzire and Tata Indigo Manza. A sub 4-metre compact hatch will be powered by two engines - a 1.2-litre petrol three-cylinder engine and a 1.4-litre diesel engine from the Yaris. The car, internally known as EFC800L, will be based on an all-new platform where cost has been the key driver. According to reports, these concepts will be nearly true to the eventual production cars and that should give everyone a fair idea of what the two will look like. This will probably be Toyota's biggest expo to date, because for the first time, Toyota will launch its for-India small car and notchback concept. It is being designed as an 800 replacement. The YR3 is Maruti Suzuki's first indigenous product to be designed, developed and manufactured here. The YR9 is the Wagon-R replacement that is wider and more comfortable on the inside, with better quality interiors and a 1.2-litre petrol engine. Another MPV concept is the R III, which will be an all-new MPV to take on the likes of the Mahindra Xylo.īased on the SX4 platform, the R III will boast of a 1.3-litre Multijet diesel and a 1.4-litre K Series engine when it goes on sale in late-2011. It will be priced around Rs 4 lakh and offers better value than the outgoing Versa. The Eeco is nothing more than a Versa facelift, with a Euro-IV ready 1.2-litre K Series engine. Powered by the same 2.4-litre petrol engine from the Grand Vitara, but with more power and a six-speed sequential auto, the Kizashi might be here in India by late-2010/early-2011 at a price that would wean a whole lot of Honda Accord and VW Jetta buyers away. The Kizashi is Suzuki's first attempt at a D-segment saloon and it looks like a winner, with its styling as well as build quality. It will bring five important cars to the show - the production Suzuki Kizashi sedan, the R III MPV concept, the Eeco MPV, YR9 small car and the Y3 small car concept. ![]() Maruti might be under attack in the small car space, but don't think India's largest car manufacturer is going to stay laid-back. We take a look at what will make a buzz this year. The 2010 Auto Expo will also play host to over 2 million visitors and promises to be bigger and better than before. With five new small cars from three new entrants in the field being showcased, either in the concept guise or production form, there is a lot at stake for more than one manufacturer. The Delhi Auto Expo, like the 2008 edition, is yet another small car special.
