Bajaj's new car will be smaller than Maruti Suzuki's Alto

Bajaj Auto has developed a small car which will be marketed by Renault-Nissan alliance in India. It is said that Bajaj's car will be smaller than Maruti Suzuki's Alto, according to the French car maker.

On this, Katsumi Nakamura, Executive Vice-President of Renault Asia Africa Management Committee said, "The car that we are discussing with Bajaj is smaller than the small car. A small car like Maruti Suzuki's Alto or a 1.2 litre car is not on the table for discussion of Renault Bajaj. We are discussing a smaller car than the small car."

Last year, Renault Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn had announced that the Renault-Nissan combine along with Bajaj Auto have finalised an ultra low-cost product that will be launched by 2012, a year behind schedule than originally planned.
