As was in the news for the last few days, Toyota has launched brushed up versions of their Etios twins – Etios sedan and Etios Liva hatch.
A few cosmetic add-ons have been lent to both the cars to refresh them up and a few reported qualms ironed out. Toyota chose the ongoing Toyota University Cricket finals as the launch occasion of both the cars. Let us list all the changes which the new Etios brothers have got.
- Etios and Liva were launched in December 2010 and June 2011 respectively, and have together sold more than 1.45 Lakh units in India.
