Toyota Etios Liva (2019) Updates

Friday, 15 March 2019 04:33 PM Toyota has decided to discontinue the Etios Liva by April 2020 due to the high investment needed to upgrade the vehicle to meet the upcoming BS6 emission norms and pedestrian protection regulations. This decision marks the end of the Etios line-up, which was introduced in 2010. I think this move is a strategic one, given the rising competition and stricter safety standards.

Friday, 15 March 2019 02:42 PM Toyotas alliance with Suzuki played a role in the decision to discontinue the Etios Liva, as Toyota would receive models like the Glanza, Ertiga, Vitara Brezza, and Ciaz from Maruti Suzuki to fill the market gap. This partnership was seen as a strategic move to maintain market presence.

Wednesday, 20 February 2019 07:45 AM The Toyota Etios Liva has been praised for its safety features, including standard dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child seat mounts across all its variants. This emphasis on safety has been a standout aspect of the vehicle. I believe these features have been a significant selling point, especially for family buyers.

Wednesday, 03 October 2018 01:36 PM The Etios Liva saw a 10% increase in sales during the April-September 2018 period, thanks in part to the well-received Dual Tone Etios Liva Limited Edition. This boost was a welcome change for Toyotas passenger car sales, which had been sluggish.

Wednesday, 03 October 2018 01:24 PM Toyota Kirloskar Motor achieved a sales milestone for the Etios series in India, selling over 4 lakh units of the Etios, Etios Liva, and Etios Cross. The Etios Liva continued to see positive growth, particularly with the launch of limited edition models.

Saturday, 15 September 2018 07:14 AM The Etios Livas design, although updated, was still criticized for its lackluster styling compared to more modern competitors. Despite this, the vehicle remained popular for its spacious cabin, comfortable seating, and fuel-efficient engines. I think the practicality of the car outweighed its aesthetic shortcomings for many buyers.

Tuesday, 07 August 2018 02:41 PM Toyota launched a limited edition of the Etios Liva in August 2018, featuring a white and black two-tone paint job with red accents. This limited edition was available in both petrol and diesel variants, priced at Rs 6.50 lakh and Rs 7.65 lakh respectively. The visual updates were inspired by the Toyota Yaris GRMN hot hatchback.

Friday, 06 July 2018 06:09 AM In July 2018, Toyota introduced a new Inferno Orange shade for the Etios Liva dual-tone variant. This addition was part of Toyotas effort to keep the model fresh and appealing to buyers. I think the new color option was a good move to attract more customers.

Thursday, 23 November 2017 07:09 AM The India-made Toyota Etios Liva scored a 4-star rating in adult occupancy during crash tests conducted by Global NCAP and AA South Africa in November 2017. This safety rating highlighted the vehicles robust build and safety features. I believe this rating was a significant endorsement of the cars safety credentials.

Thursday, 09 February 2017 12:22 AM In February 2017, Toyota launched the new dual-tone Etios Liva with two engine options and across four variants. This update included visual changes and was priced from Rs 6.03 lakh. The dual-tone option was a cosmetic enhancement aimed at boosting sales.
