Delhi’s auto jamboree is all set to raise a bit of dust. The 11th edition of Auto Expo, starting from January 7, will be the platform for the launch of the world’s best mini sports car, the BMW Mini.

And keeping in mind the Indian consumers’ penchant for buying “value-for-money” goods, carmakers have lined up a number of fuel-efficient models.

In fact, during the expo, 60 new cars and upgrades would be launched. ET on Sunday lifts the veil on five show-stoppers of the week-long event
