Toyota Motor reportedly is developing a mid-size sedan for sale in India.
The Economic Times, citing sources, said the car, based on the Etios platform and codenamed Etios C or Etios Core, is expected to be launched at the end of 2016. The company aims to sell 40,000-50,000 units a year.

A Toyota Kirloskar spokesperson said the company “would like to refrain from commenting on any future products or plans”.
However, a source with knowledge of the company’s plans said: “This product will be a significant offering from Toyota since its launch of the Etios and Liva did not deliver the desired volumes. The company is hopeful that the incremental volumes of the new sedan will help it utilise the second factory better.”
