Toyota planning to bring a MPV under Innova in India

     Toyota is considering to bring an all new MPV in India to be positoned between Etios and Innova. Speaking after the launch of Etios sedan Mr Vonce S Socco Senior VP Toyota Motor Asia said that there is a room for another model between Etios and Innova and the company is working on it. He however declined to give further details such as time-frame for launch, speculative price etc. He also said that any such vehicle will come to India only after 2012.

     Some days ago a Toyota Picnic MPV was spotted at Nandi Hills near Bangalore. We can remember that Toyota had tested its Yaris hatchback in Bangalore before the launch of Etios concept. We believe Toyota tests overseas projects in India and then build a specified car for the country. The new MPV might also be developed specially for India like the Etios. World's First India First campaign might go a long way for Toyota in India.

     Toyota by launching a Etio with competitive pricing has created a new environment in Mid-Size segments.
