"We will showcase the concept of the car in the upcoming Delhi Auto Expo. We are ready with the concept model of both the compact and the sedan versions of the car," Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) Senior Managing Director Akira Okabe told a group of visiting Indian journalists here.
Though he declined to divulge the name of the compact car, Okabe said it is internally code named as 'EFC'.
Asked about the version in which the company is likely to roll out the car initially, he said: "We can launch both the hatchback and the sedan together but nothing has been finalised as yet." Toyota, which is present in India under a joint venture with the Kirloskar Group, is planning to launch the small car by early 2011. The car would be manufactured at its upcoming Rs 3,200 crore second facility at Bangalore.
The company had earlier this week said that the planned compact car would be 10 per cent more fuel efficient than Suzuki's Swift and Hyundai's i20.
