Toyota Etios: the perfect car for quick trips in India

First revealed at the 10th Auto Expo show in New Delhi, the Toyota Etios has been manufactured and assembled in India since 2010. Its success in India has led to its introduction in various markets globally, including Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, and Argentina.

The Toyota Etios is well adapted to the driving and climate conditions of India. It navigates potholes, uneven roads, and road debris easily with a 170mm ground level clearance. Its underbody is reinforced to absorb energy without damage to fuel and brake lines. Its steel sheeting is layered with anti-corrosive and spray painted to resist chipping and rust. Finally, its centrally located combimeter affords the driver a wider view of the road ahead, helpful in India's congested roads.
