TOYOTO ETIOUS

                             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.

TOYOTO ETIOUS 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.

 POWER TRAIN

              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.
