Following its cues from global auto giants like General Motors, Renault-Nissan, Ford, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hyundai et al, PSA Peugeot- Citroën is also chalking out robust plans to roll out low cost cars for emerging markets like India. This car, which is expected to be introduced by 2011, will be accommodating up to five people and will be having sufficient space for luggage and stowage. The details of the model are limited, but its prospects to arrive in India is high as the French car maker reported that it will be offered in emerging markets like India and China. Chances of battery and hybrid cannot be ruled out as 2011 may see introduction of a number of small cars powered by non-conventional sources of power.

According to reports circulating in the media, PSA Peugeot-Citroen’s low cost car, that will have five doors, is expected to be assembled in Turkey or Poland, and will be sold in markets the Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, Turkey, Africa, South America, China and even India. This car, which is likely to wear Peugeot-Citroen badging, will not be sold in Western Europe.
