Will the Etios Facelift get mechanical changes?
Etios sedan may be an average looking mile muncher but which other pre-New-Gen-Corolla was modern looking? Nonetheless, it thrives on its interior space and a reliable, decently powered diesel engine (along with a peppy petrol motor). Lack of modern day features, mundane looks and high NVH levels have been its key flaws. In order to bring some freshness to the model, Toyota is preparing a facelift which was caught testing recently by a Motoroids reader.
The camouflaged front nose hides a more aggressive looking V shaped front grille with four slats. The fog lamp enclosure and intakes have been redesigned to make it look familiar with other models in the lineup (read Vios). Expect things to be laden with shiny chrome. The boot cover is expected to gain a chrome slab joining the tail lamps. The rear bumper too shall flaunt a few cosmetic changes.
