It is to be mentioned here that the Toyota Etios model is scheduled to be launched in the Indian market by this year end.

Where the hatchback version of the car will be powered by a 1.2 L engine, the sedan version will have a 1.5L engine.

A concept of this car was also showcased at the International Auto Expo in the month of January where it received an overwhelming response from the car enthusiasts and visitors. The company currently sells some of the most popular cars in the Indian market including crossover Toyota Innova, premium sedan Toyota Corolla Altis and luxury SUV Toyota Fortuner.
