Ltd., showcased the Etios which turned out to be a headturner at the Auto Expo held in New Delhi in January 2010. While the car was not a production model, people at the Expo got a fairly clear picture of what the car would look like once it arrived by the year end and also about what they could expect on it. Toyota displayed both, the hatch and the sedan models, at the Auto Expo.

With the introduction of the Etios Toyota will enter the under 7 lakh, mass volume segment. Toyota Kirloskar aims to sell 70000 units of the Etios in India per annum and it will also expand its dealership network to 150 by the end of 2010 from its existing 97 dealers, at the time of the Auto Expo in January 2010. The sedan has undergone 2,00,000 km of real world testing in India and hence priority has been given to mileage, space, style and price.

Design

The Etios was originally called the EFC, or the Entry Family Car. Etios means Spirit and Principle which Toyota intends to give to its customers in India. More than 2000 engineers in India and Japan have worked in close collaboration for four years to ensure the perfect blend of local design sensibilities and unmatched global quality standards are integrated into the Etios.

The chief engineer of Product Planning at Toyota Mr. Yoshinori Noritake said, "In the process of development of Etios, I have visited many Indian cities and homes to understand the market and interact with customers. The Etios concept will cater to the basic needs of this market - highest standards of quality at competitive prices.

Toyota's new compact cars have been designed to offer innovative styling, roomy interiors, superior ride comfort and best in class mileage at competitive prices. The design concept of 'Bold Simplicity' represents the pursuit of the perfect combination of functionality and affordable luxury. The Etios incorporates advanced technology and superior quality features that have been developed by Toyota, specifically for India, by leveraging the world class innovation that Toyota is globally renowned for.

Powertrain

Toyota Etios has been developed on a new platform and has a completely new engine which is not present in any Toyota car so far. The sedan which will be the first version to be launched in the country will offer a 1.5l DOHC petrol engine. The engine delivers 90ps @ 5600rpm and also produces a torque of 132Nm@3000rpm. The car is light and weighs only a 930 kgs and is the lightest in the segment when compared to the Tata Indigo Manza, the Swift Dzire and the Mahindra Logan. The sedan will get a 5-speed manual transmission and the engine is so built, that it suits the Indian Road condition. Toyota Etios has been developed on a new platform and has a completely new engine which is not present in any Toyota car so far. This new engine, according to the ARAI, will deliver a mileage of 17.6 kpl and it will certainly be something to look forward to since its a made in India, for India car.

Interiors

The car is launched in the J, G, V and Vx models (Vx being the top-end model). The VX variant will get a 2DIN DVD Mp3 system which is the first of its kind entertainment system offered in its segment. The VX features audio controls on the steering wheel and a USB and Aux-In facility as well. Some of the other features also include a 13-litre cooled glove box. The J variant has a dual tone - black and grey upholstery and the VX has dual tone black and red upholstery. The low spec J and G variants come with all black upholstery. The sedan also gets a boot space of 595 ltrs which makes it easier to pack in all the goodies for that much needed vacation. The Etios design concept is all about a balance of form and function. It is thoughtfully designed to provied ample legroom & headroom. This is visible in the car as it has a flat floor for the rear - with no transmission tunnel hump, so three people can sit comfortably and move within the cabin with ease. The sedan also gets a centrally mounted instrument cluster. The J variant is so basic that it doesn’t even come with the electric assist power streering. The G, V and VX comes with electric power assist steering.

Safety

The J and G variants will come with 175/65 R14 wheels while the V and VX will be based on 185/60 R15 tyres with 12 spoke alloys. Safety features in the car includes Airbags, ABS with EBD optional on G trim while on the other these safety features will be standard on V and VX trim. The suspension of the sedan will boast of MacPherson struts in the front and a torsion beam at the rear. The safety of the car is enhanced by the front ventilated discs and brake drums at the rear.

Conclusion

The sedan will be available in a range of colours Symphony silver, Serene bluish silver, Celestial black, Harmony beige, Vermillion red and White colours. The J trim though will be available only in Symphony Silver and white.

Bookings are now open at Rs. 50000 and deliveries of the sedan will begin in Jan 2011. Toyota states that they are keenly studying the possibility of a diesel engine in the Etios but we have a strong feeling that the 87 bhp 1.4 L diesel engine will makes it way under the hood of the sedan and will be launched in a few months. The diesel version of the sedan will be out by March 2011 and will cost Rs. 50,000-60,000 more than the petrol variant.
