Toyota Etios Platinum LE Diesel Updates

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 12:06 AM Toyota made several cosmetic upgrades to the Etios sedan to combat rising competition in the sub-four meter segment. These changes included additional equipment inside the cabin and enhanced safety features. I believe these updates helped the Etios stay relevant for a bit longer in a highly competitive market. |2017

Monday, 11 November 2024 09:54 AM The Toyota Etios, including the Platinum LE Diesel, set a safety benchmark by standardizing dual SRS airbags and ABS with EBD across all grades. It also received a 4-star rating in a crash test campaign by Global NCAP. I think this emphasis on safety was a significant selling point for the Etios. |2016

Thursday, 17 June 2021 09:52 AM Toyota has officially discontinued the Toyota Etios Platinum LE Diesel in India, marking the end of an era for this sedan. The last ex-showroom price for this model was Rs. 8.94 lakh. I believe this move is a strategic decision to focus on other models that are more competitive in the current market.

Saturday, 08 February 2020 11:57 AM The Toyota Etios Platinum LE Diesel has undergone significant improvements, including addressing higher NVH levels and vibrations in the diesel engine. Toyota also introduced a new gearbox, tweaked clutch, and improved suspension to enhance the driving experience. I think these updates were crucial to keep the Etios competitive, even if it was for a short while.

Saturday, 08 February 2020 06:55 PM Toyota introduced the Etios Platinum Limited Edition in India, available in VX trim with both petrol and diesel engines. The diesel model was priced at Rs. 8,93,900. I believe this limited edition was a good move to keep the assembly lines running and attract some last-minute buyers before the models eventual discontinuation.
