Excellent Hatchback Toyota Etios Cross
AutoPortal on the best crossover The Japanese car
manufacturer, Toyota Kirloskar Motors Private
Limited, had unveiled their Toyota Etios Cross
at the Auto Expo 2014 in New Delhi. Two years
have passed and we have seen another Auto Expo.
Nevertheless, this compact crossover is still on
the top rung in the market. As a compact
crossover, the Toyota Etios Cross offers all the
qualities of a SUV and at the same time the
utility and practicality of a hatchback car.
Toyota is keen on attracting the youth towards
their crossover with its aggressive stance and
ruggedness, and it has worked wonderfully.
Exterior Though based on the Liva hatchback with
the same ground clearance and mechanics, the
Toyota Etios Cross looks much muscular that the
hatchback. The front fascia gets a grille guard
and fog lamps, tough front and rear bumpers,
distinctive side cladding with skid plate, sturdy
roof rails, and diamond cut ten spoke alloy
wheels, ORVMs with turn indicators and a rear
roof spoiler. Also Check about Mahindra

Interior The interiors are spacious and look more
airy due to the dual tone black and beige colour
scheme which comes with a glossy black and
silver finish. The seats are adjustable and are
covered by good quality fabric. The comfortable
head rests are a boon for the rear passengers
during long journeys. The storage is taken care
by cup holders, bottle holders, accessory power
outlets, and a glove box unit. Other features
include an air conditioning unit, 2 Din music
system and an advanced instrument panel. The car
comes with safety and comfort features like power
windows and steering, ABS, dual airbags, central
locking, child safety locks, fog lights and rear
defogger apart from a strong collision absorbing
body. Engine options The Etios Cross is
available in three engine options. The 1.2 litre
petrol unit generates 76 bhp of power while the
1.5 litre petrol engine produces 89 bhp of power.
The 1.4 litre diesel unit churns 67 bhp of
power. Both the petrol and diesel engine are
mated to a five speed gear box with manual
transmission and dual clutch type. The car is
expected to deliver a mileage of around 16 to 17
kmpl for the petrol engines and 23 kmpl for the
diesel variant. The ride and handling on all
types of roads are pretty good. Price The
petrol and diesel variants of the Toyota Etios
Cross are available in the range of Rs 5.7-7.4
lakhs approximately. Competition

The Etios Cross faces tough competition from its
arch rivals, Volkswagen Cross Polo, Fiat Punto
Adventure, Ford EcoSport, Renault Duster and
Nissan Terrano. Etios Cross comes across as the
best vehicle for customers who want a rough
vehicle that will score immensely over
hatchbacks. Also check about Mahindra Upcoming
