There will be a new small car in the Indian roads shortly, which will be unlike any other. We are taking about the launch of the Mini by BMW. At an expected price of around Rs.20 lakhs and with unmatchable power, this car would start a completely new class of small cars.
To uproot this possibility of monopoly, the Swedish giant Volvo is currently considering launching one of its small cars like S40, C30 and V50. In Europe, these cars cost around 10 to 15000 euros. This would translate to nearly 20 lakhs in the Indian market owing to the taxes. So if launched the cars would easily meet the Mini Cooper in terms of the price, but concerning the performance we will have to wait and see.
