Competition in the Indian car market is so tight, so any company engaged in automotive innovation and kreatiftasnya required in making the products superior car. Nissan Motor India is one of them. The company which has tasted success in India with Nissan Micra is planning two new small cars to its product portfolio to tap into the demand for small cars in the India the next 3 years, according to AutocarIndia.

Nissan car is scheduled to produce two new car models that are ready to compete in the market, the first model is the model of K2, and the second is I2.  The K2 which is due for launch in December 2012 is aimed at the Wagon R and A-star and will be priced competitively at around Rs 3.5 lakh. Engine options are likely to be the same 1.2 litre three-cylinder petrol motor that powers the Micra although a highly fuel-efficient 1-litre engine is also being considered.

Nissan’s upcoming I2 is expected to lock horns with Maruti Suzuki Alto, which is now the World’s No.1 small car. I2 is developed by Defiance Testing & Engineering, a company based in the U.S. and acquired by Ashok Leyland (AL) in 2007. It has to be noted that Ashok Leyland & Nissan have forged a joint venture to develop small car and now we know that it is I2.

We can expect AL to develop the I2 with major engineering work carried out in the homeland so as to keep the development cost down. As the I2 will target Maruti Alto customers, expect this car to be priced around Rs. 2.5 lakh and could be launched in 2013.
