Toyota refresh’s its Etios and Etios Liva
The 2014 Etios
and Etios Liva have been officially launched by Toyota Kirloskar Motor today.
They are
being referred to as “refreshed” versions of the cars and sport primarily cosmetic and
equipment related changes. The power-plant and core of the Etios and Liva
remain largely unchanged.
The new cars carry on using most of the components
that were used before, but also offer a few interior and safety options on
particular variants.
The 2014 iteration of the diesel-powered Etios Liva has been
relaunched with two new grades- the VD and VD (Safety Package), which will be
positioned above the GD variant.
The
additional features that the VD and VD (SP) grades get
include fog lamps in front, chrome-built grille, wipers and washer in the rear,
and twelve-spoke alloy wheels. The new variants also have a garnish made of
chrome on the hatch-lid in the rear and wing mirrors that sport turn
indicators.
The interiors have also undergone considerable changes. The
2014 Toyota Etios, Etios Liva VD and VD (SP) editions get leather-covered
steering units, tachometers, two-toned colour theme, and a rear defogger.
Toyota has
also thrown in a gear knob made in chrome and wood-finished door handles to top
of the interiors package. Both cars have Bluetooth-compatible audio
systems.
The Safety Package inclusive VD variant has the added
benefits of dual airbags and steering wheel mounted audio system controls.
The mid-range specification Etios Liva G and the diesel mill
GD both now boast two-tone interior themes. These were earlier only available
on the G and GD Safety Package petrol and diesel power-plant versions.
The new 2014 Toyota Etios comes at a price starting at 5.53
lakh INR going all the way up to 7.23 lakh for the premium petrol model while
the diesel Etios sedan has a base price of 6.82 lakh INR reaching up to 8.30
lakh for the high-end version.
The Etios Liva is priced in the range of 4.53 to 6.82 lakhs
for petrol driven model and 5.92 to 7.12 lakh INR for the diesel.
