Toyota Etios Hatchback

Toyota's engineers from Japan visited India at least 30 times during the making of Etios. The name of the upcoming Etios stands for E-Economical family car, T-Technology, I-Innovative styling, O-Outstanding comfort and S-Safety without compromise. The Etios Hatchback will be powered by a 1200 cc 1.2 litre DOHC petrol engine. The interiors will carry the usual Toyota characteristic of high quality. As far as the design is concerned, the hatchback has been very well proportioned. This car will be a made-for-India car. Indian drivers tend to brake abruptly in city driving conditions and accelerate frequently. These findings too will be incorporated in the new Etios engine.

Expected Launch Date: Early 2011

Estimated Price Tag: Rs 4.5-5 Lakh

toyata etios liva

It was a matter of much anticipation when the announcement ofToyota Etios Liva was made by Toyota. The company was quite anxious as for the first time Toyota Motors announced a low ranged model named Etios Liva which already created benchmark for affordability in India. Now with Toyota Etios Liva launch, just like a perfectionist and moving side-by-side with Indian sentiments, Toyota trimmed the cost of this hatchback without leaving a single dent on the company's formidable reputation. To abate its cost, the skillful carmaker has used its knife at places where the users just can’t make out. This is the first time that Toyota will be dealing with customers at lower end and the savvy player is all set to face the big challenge. The recent addition of the diesel avatar-Toyota Etios Liva Diesel, the company has now its best to offer. In the wake of dwindling sales of petrol cars in India due to high interest rates and spiked petrol prices, the Toyota Etios Liva Diesel is sure to bring in some upward movement on the sales chart.


On stepping into a new market, Toyota will now face some real experts like Maruti, which is India's most successful carmaker. And not to forget Hyundai and Tata, who have abysmal experience of playing best in this segment. This will certainly not make the fight easy but Toyota here has a big advantage and that is the low price, which will be the trump card for Toyota. It is worth mentioning that Toyota Etios Liva price starts at Rs 3.99 lakh which is posted on Toyota Etios Liva base model. Toyota Etios Liva Diesel price starts at Rs 5.5 lakh.


Toyota Etios Liva is designed, keeping in mind the Indian customers and every detailing shows the efforts taken by engineers. The hatchback is blessed with petrol and diesel engine options. A 3NR-FE, Gasoline, 4-Cylinder 16V, DOHC petrol engine acts as the power house of Etios Liva petrol hatchback. Reaching the heights of efficiency, the car can smoke out a maximum power of 80 PS and distribute maximum torque of 104Nm. Its performance is further improved with 5 Speed Manual Transmission. It claims superb fuel efficiency of 18.31kmpl. The Toyota Etios Liva looks robust and functional with pretty good luggage space of 251litre which is the selling feature of this hatchback.

The diesel motor which is a 1.4L engine outputs 68PS and is a four-cylinder engine. Etios Liva Diesel engine is capable of producing a maximum torque of 170 Nm @ 1800 - 2400 rpm. The Etios Liva Diesel has a mileage of 23.59 kmpl.
