Etios - The No-Nonsense Toyota

We thought Toyota didn't want us to drive it's small cars but they've proved us wrong. With the launching of Etios the Japanese car maker has told us that they see Indian as a potential market.



I have heard that Etios has been desperately designed for the Indian market at an R&D cost of Rs.3200 crore. So that means Toyota is ready to give a tough competition to the premium hatchbacks & entry-level sedans in the country.

Seeing the Etios reminds me of the no-nonsense image of the Toyota automobiles. But under the hood this calm looking demon has a 1496cc engine which is enough to give its contenders sleepless nights.

Space was never an issue with Toyota cars & same has been proved on Etios. Legroom, headroom & strorage space is much to fanticise an Indian who is under the influence of Dzire.

Handling is flawless, thanks to the brand Toyota which always makes its European counter-parts jealous in this department. So, finally if you are looking for quality (Q-class) then this one priced at Rs.4.96 ex-showroom is for you.

Forget the looks (if u can) & enjoy the comfort !
