Honda Motor’s is planning to launch a new small car to hit the Indian shores before 2011-12. The car is expected to be (code named as 2CV) and being developed especially for India to take on Toyota and break Suzuki’s stronghold on the Indian market.
As far as the Toyota’s small car will be launched next year and Suzuki holds around 60% of the market share in India under the small car segment and Honda still doesn’t have any small car in India and the company is looking for various models to gain market share in India.
The Honda’s small car (2CV) will sport a 1.1-litre petrol engine and it will be manufactured from its stalled plant in Rajasthan, where Honda plans to have targeted capacity of one lakh small cars per annum.
“All plans of the new small car are going as per schedule,” the Honda spokeswomen said.
The small car will be much smaller than the Honda Jazz, and will be at an affordable price tag of Rs 4-4.5 lakhs for the petrol variant. The company might also have plans to launch the diesel variants at a later stage to gain on the rising popularity of diesel cars in India.
The small car will share platform including the manufacturing line and spares with the Jazz including the same iV-TEC engine technology, but will fit as a small entry-level A segment car.
The same car (2CV) will also be manufactured in Thailand where it is expected to be developed and sold under the Thai government’s Eco-Car project, which enjoys many tax concessions. However any such eco-variant is ruled out for the Indian market for the time being.
