Toyota Etios Liva is an upcoming car and first hatchback of Toyota India. It was unveiled in 2010 at Auto Expo India. It will go for sale by the last week of March 2011 in India. The company is also planning to launch it in Russia, South America and other popular markets as well. Honda India is planning to launch its small car Honda Brio in 2011. So these two models will fight each other. Toyota Etios Liva will also give strong competition for Hyundai i10, Maruti Swift, Chevy Beat and upcoming Maruti Cervo.

Well speaking on its inside features, it is a five seater with wide dashing board. It looks astounding with twin tone color. It has several common interior features like Steering mounted audio controls, Rear wiper/washer, AC, power windows, power steering with adjustment; remote central locking and Dash integrated music system.  It will give sufficient space for all passengers. Head and leg room is good.  It disappoints you when it comes to luggage part where you need to compromise on it. It gives only little amount of space to carry your luggage. Other than this everything is extraordinary.         

The forthcoming Toyota Etios Liva is expected to equip with a powerful 1.2 petrol engine with 4 valves. It will be able to generate maximum power of 80bhp and torque is yet to be declared. The weight of the car (890kg) helps to drive easily. The company has not released any statements on engine part.

When it comes to safety features, it is expected to equip with some advance safety features like Climate Control,  Remote Boot, Remote Central Locking, EBD, Power Windows, Remote Fuel Filler, Rear Wiper, Rear Armrest, ABS, ESP, and three Rear Seat Belts.

Toyota India is well known for its unique exterior style. The first hatchback of Toyota stuns your heart. In the front side ‘U’ shaped grill with company’s insignia looks sweet. Unique shape of head lamps along with common type of fog lamps adds beauty for its front fascia. It has an overall length of 3775mm, 1695mm of width, 1490mm of height and 173mm of ground clearance. The beefy shoulder line on its body looks awesome. From rear side it looks sporty with rear washer.  Compare to upcoming hatchback Honda Brio and Maruti Cervo it looks little cloudy. Overall it seems good.

Toyota Etios Liva Price will start from 4.5 lakh and goes up to 6 lakh. Toyota Etios Liva mileage will be close to 15 km per liter. The Company is planning to launch it in 3 versions but only petrol version.
