“Segmentation of the auto industry is primarily customer driven. It evolves as manufacturers model their products and brand positions according to customer profiles. In the last few years, segmentation based on platforms, features and styling have emerged in India as customer preferences and vehicle applications keep pace with the rest of the world,” said Mr Vinay Piparsania, vice-president, external affairs and director, sales operations, Ford India.

 

Hyundai lunched a mini car for the Indian customers last year name Hyundai i10 and it attended the customers more. Besides it, it offered Hyundai Getz too. But, the i20 would come at India on 2009 but not this time. The market price will be 5-6 lakh in India currency and in European countries it will be £8,645.

Hyundai i20, according to the European test, the five doors cars is expected to arrive at the beginning of 2009. I will save fuel for the drivers and can run long way in a small amount of fuel. With a 1.4-litre diesel, that produces 89bhp and 162lb ft, and a six-speed ‘box over the standard five-speed unit, the i20 i-Blue will do 68mpg and only emit 99g/km.
