AR Rehman Brand Ambassador with Toyota Etios Hatchback "Liva"
Toyota has received high number of bookings for its new Etios Sedan; the company is considering to offer a unique way to tackle the customer who booked the sedan by giving them an option to shift to the company’s compact car Liva, which will be launched in the month of March 2011.
At the same time, the company is also considering to marginally increase the production of Etios to accommodate the rush.
According to sources, Toyota is worried that the seven to eight months’ waiting period for Etios may prompt customers to shift to rival brands. So, it is working on a plan to offer those with Etios bookings the option to go for the compact Liva, though details are still being worked out. It is not yet clear whether these people will get a priority in the delivery of the 1200cc petrol-engine Liva , which is likely to be priced around Rs 4 lakh.
The company is currently doing this to ensure that the customer will stay within the Toyota fold, while getting an option to cut down on their waiting periods. The company has already started delivering the Etios sedan earlier this month, and so far it has received bookings over 18500 units.
Toyota Kirloskar deputy MD (sales & marketing) Sandeep Singh said, “We are looking at various options, and a concrete plan is yet to be firmed up.”
Toyota plans to produce around 70000 units in the year 2011 between the Etios Sedan and Liva Hatch in 2011.
“Our manufacturing team is looking at this and a decision on enhancing production will be taken towards the end of February. However, if it happens, the increment in production may not be a major one. Whatever happens will be through improved efficiency and tweaking things here and there,” Singh said.
On the other side, the company is currently ramping up numbers at its plant and will start second-shift operation to meet the demand and the production will come to 200000 units annually though reaching this capacity will take time.
TKM targets to sell around 300000 to 350000 units by 2015.

23 December, 2010 BMW has launched its X1 compact SUV in the Indian market. The compact SUV will be available in three variants: Corporate Edition, Highline and Cool Elegance - the SUV will be powered by 1.8-litre petrol and 2.0-litre diesel engines.
The X1 sDrive 1.8i is powered by a 1995cc four cylinder petrol engine that develops 147.5 bhp of power and 20.4 kgm of max torque. The X1 sDrive 2.0d is equipped with a 1995cc four-cylinder diesel engine that gives close to 174bhp of power and an impressive 35.7kgm of max torque.
BMW India has launched the X1 as rear-wheel-drive only, which has helped the company price it in-line with its competitors. Much like the BMW 3 Series Corporate Edition, the X1 does not get some features, which are available in the Highline as well as the top-of-the-line Cool Elegance variant. The Corporate Edition lacks sunroof, i-drive interface, and 6-CD changer, and features only a single CD player. Instead of wood garnishing, the Corporate Edition gets simple black trim and fabric seats.
“The new BMW 'X1' sets the benchmark by bringing together features of a sports activity vehicle with spontaneous flexibility and outstanding fuel economy,” BMW India President Andreas Schaaf said.
The BMW X1 will be assembled at the company’s Chennai plant, where the 3 Series is also manufactured. With a wheelbase of 2760mm and at 4454mm long, the BMW X1 is ready to open up a new luxury segment in the compact SUV class. While the base 1.8i will retail at Rs 22 lakh, the 2.0-litre diesel base variant will cost Rs 23.9 lakh, the 2.0-liter Diesel Exclusive Variant is priced at Rs 29.90 lakh and the top-of-the-line Cool Elegance variant will retail at Rs 32.5 lakh.
