Japanese manufacturer Suzuki displayed two cars at the Frankfurt Motor Show that have a huge potential for launch in India.

Splash, which is being positioned as a multi-purpose vehicle by Suzuki, has a strong possibility of making it to India next year.

However, Maruti Suzuki officials at the motor show said it was too early to comment.

Splash goes on sale in Europe in March 2008. It is bigger than the popular Swift and comes with three engine options - a 65 bhp, 1,000cc three-cylinder petrol, a 85 bhp 1,400cc four-cylinder petrol and a 75 bhp 1,300cc four-cylinder turbodiesel.  Suzuki also announced that Splash will be followed by new Alto.

The Japanese carmaker also unveiled the Kizashi Concept, which is an indication that it wants to go up market. 

Though Suzuki has so far focused on making small cars, the car based on the Kizashi Concept will compete with Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic when it is launched in 2009.
