The Eeco is nothing more than a Versa facelift, with a Euro-IV ready 1.2-litre K Series engine. It will be priced around Rs 4 lakh.
Another MPV concept is the R III, which will take on the likes of the Mahindra Xylo.
The YR9 is the Wagon-R replacement that is wider and more comfortable on the inside.
The YR3 is Maruti Suzuki's first indigenous product to be designed, developed and manufactured here. It is being designed as an 800 replacement.
Toyota: For the first time, Toyota will launch its for-India small car and notchback (an automobile having a roof that drops off sharply to the top of the rear compartment) concept. The car will be based on an all-new platform where cost has been the key driver.
The other big-ticket launches are the Toyota Prius hybrid that will be priced upwards of Rs 25 lakh, while the brand will also showcase the new Landcruiser Prado diesel and the i-Real concept.
Honda: The big H will bring in its iteration of a small car concept that it hopes will target the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Swift and Hyundai i10. It will also exhibit the CR-Z Concept 2009, a model for a new hybrid vehicle.
Volkswagen: Volkswagen is making waves with the announcement of launch of its globally hit model Polo. This European Car of The Year winner will take centre stage at the VW stall and promises to have a rather competitive price tag to take on the likes of the Suzuki Swift and Hyundai i20.
Tata Motors: This year, we expect Tata Motors to display Indicruz, its large MPV designed to take on the likes of the Toyota Innova.
Skoda: The company will showcase its first sport utility vehicle Skoda Yeti in India. The company will only display the car model at the Expo.

DC's Nano: Car designer Dilip Chhabria has converted the Tata Nano into a car worth Rs 1 crore. The Nano's 623-cc engine will be replaced by a 1,600-cc one. The exteriors will resemble the Lamborghini and Ferrari.
