I had the opportunity to have a look of Toytota Etios at Select city walk, Saket, Delhi. The first look of the car was pretty decent. There are four variant J, G, V and VX with price range from 4.96 to 6.86 lakh exshowroom at Delhi. The engine of the car is 1500cc, four cylinder, max power of 90PS with torque 132 Nu @ 3000rpm. The basic variant J is equipped with AC, heater, immobilizer but doesn't have power steering, power window, alloy, central locking, The variant V & VX is equipped with all the features that a modern car is having, But if you want to control your DVD music system from your steering wheel than you have to opt highend VX model. One disappointment that the interior design of the car is too simple. Fabric and seats of the car could have been better with additional price.
Main attraction of the car is it's aggressive price tag and Toyota's brand name. This will attract small hatchback buyer and upto aspirant of Honda city. I believe that Toyota showroom must have very busy these days. Here biggest challenger for Toyota is to timely delivery of the car by reducing waiting period. A six month waiting for a common man may not be acceptable and may loose potential customtakeouter.
