Toyota Video Teases its New Low-Cost Small Sedan Concept
In anticipation of next week's New Delhi motor show in India, Toyota has released a video teaser of its new small sedan that appears to be more pre-production than pure concept. Media reports from India suggest that the production version of the low-cost sedan will be called the Etios and will be offered with a small displacement diesel and gasoline engines when it arrives in the market towards the end of 2010.
From what we understand, the Etios is a similar proposition - both in terms of size and philosophy - to the Renault-Nissan alliance's Dacia Logan sedan.
The Japanese firm's low-cost sedan that has been specifically developed for emerging markets will first go on sale in India with other international markets including Russia and South America to follow shortly after.
