There is a good chance that your will become a small car very soon. To make matters more clear removing the cloud of confusion in the first sentence, here is a further explanation to it. The Japanese car makers Toyota and
Honda Motors are the two that are looking for a change in the way India will define a small car.
The companies are asking the Indian government to “Change the criteria of classifying a small car”. And there is a good reason for this which will not only benefit the two companies but all the car makers in the country; and the better reason is that in India small cars have lower tax rates.
But will the two be able to change the mind of the Indian government into thinking different about
small cars and classify a different set of cars as small cars taking into consideration the new criteria such as the emission norms, fuel efficiency, and passenger safety and not the engine capacity, which has been for a long time, the defining factor.
This request raised by the
Toyota and Honda has invited different opinions. Many are of the same opinion that the government should stop defining a car as small just by considering the fuel and engine capacity.
The demand of the small cars in the country is really do the magic and that could be the reason why these companies want the Indian government to think new. It is expected that if the governments nods at changing the defining criterion then there will be a huge shuffle in the Indian car industry.

Renault’s studio has become a stable for the ULC (ultra-low cost car) project and the Indian youth the key to that stable.
Yes, Renault defines Indian youth to be the key to the lock that opens a new world of small cars. The company’s alliance with Nissan and Bajaj has selected a team of 16 employees who will exclusively be involved in the designing of the small car project. Even more interesting is the fact that among the16 employees, 13 are Indian Nationals belonging from different culture and religion.
With a team of these youth, the company plans to incorporate all popular trends into one pack and design a car completely favouring Indian customers. It is a known belief that only an Indian car manufacturer or designer can actually know the taste of Indian customer base.
The company has also hired a team of dedicated professionals who will go into the roots of culture, tradition, lifestyle, trends, and changing generation to get the best design roll out of the stable.
Therefore, when the car will finally roll out, it would be truly Indian.
