Toyota Etios is a sedan that is built for comfort and smooth-ride quality. The fuel tank capacity is 45 litres and mileage is also quite decent. The power delivery is linear but you cannot expect a power-packed performance from either of the engines. The petrol variants offer a slightly better power output of 90 bhp and a torque of 132 Nm. The diesel variants offer a power output of around 67 bhp and a torque of 170 Nm. It falls in the mid-size sedan category and delivers good comfort in most road conditions.
Toyota Etios comes with 1.5-litre petrol and 1.4-litre diesel engine options. Both are 4-cylinder engines and offer a 5-speed manual transmission. The petrol variants feel more punchy than the diesel ones. The diesel engine is lag-free and offers smooth gear shifts.
The petrol engine offers a mileage of up to 17 kmpl whereas the diesel engine offers a mileage of up to 24 kmpl. These are claimed figures and the real-world mileage depends on road conditions, driving style, overall condition of the vehicle, and many other factors. The performance of Etios is great leaving no room for complaints when it comes to ride-quality and comfort.
The interior layout and design of Etios is not extraordinary but it doesn’t feel cheap either. The seating arrangement is good with plenty of lumbar and under-thigh support. The legroom and headroom are sufficient enough to provide the required comfort during long trips.
Dual airbags are offered as a standard. ABS, EBD, and other essential safety features are included in all the variants. The body structure is durable and proves to be worthy of long term use. The cabin has remained safe during crash tests which has earned it a 4-star safety rating from GNCAP. However, the latest safety features such as ADAS are missing in this car.

"I bought his car 10 days back after doing loads of research on the internet and in the field. Finally decided on this car and what a decision! This car is such a super car that I would suggest it to everyone. Very comfortable and a true pleasure to drive. All my life I have driven petrol cars and this is my first diesel."
"I bought a Etios VX in 2011 and I’m still quite happy with its performance. Because of its light weight and 90 PS it's a very good car to drive in cities. Mileage is decent, about 12 - 14 in the city and 16 - 18 on the highway.What I like about the car is the space it has. Five people can easily be accommodated comfortably even for long drives.The one I bought did not have great interior - red/black combo sporty looks. I prefer the beige color. The newer ones have better interiors to my knowledge. "
"I bought my new Toyota Etios diesel model car in March 2013. So far I’ve done 5000 kms on this car. Really it is a nice car, where the handling and breaking of this car is awesome. Another important point on this car is the rear space and boot space. Really it can accommodate 3 ppl well in the rear seat and boot space with 595 litres is more than enough to keep any number of luggage. It is a wonderful car for highway travel and very comfortable also due to its soft suspension. But it scraps a very big speed breaker when it is fully loaded even though it has 174 mm of ground clearance. "
"A year ago I bought a Toyota Etios. Toyota Etios is a very good car which I bought. The peculiarity of this car is very good. I have a GD model. The car has all the conveniences. The fuel is also very good. 18 and 19 of the city of my car in a liter and a liter in highway mileage of 20 to 22 found. This is a very comfortable car for me and my family. This is a very good and very specific car. In the front row there was a lot of space and good AC cooling for the car. On the other side, a good sedan car from Toyota. "
"Toyota Etios is unquestionably one of the most affordable sedans you can get within this price and from the house of Toyota. It is almost closer to the compact sedans or any other premium hatch. Initially when it was launched, it was not so attractive but Toyota has recently launched a refreshed version that looked to be stunning. "
