The air conditioning is manual, and all four doors get power windows. More details about the Etios's specifications and features are covered in the sections below.

"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. "
"Etios is a perfect that feels stable at high speeds and cruises effortlessly on the highway. It is ideal for city driving because of its light and responsive steering wheel. The suspension is tuned for a smooth and relaxed drive quality which makes it a popular car in the commercial segment as well. "
"Etios is a reliable horse that is spacious enough to accommodate 5 passengers. I bought it approx 4 years ago from a used car market. Its trunk is huge and the rear cabin space is awesome. Tall passengers can easily sit in this car because of its flat-floor design. The car looks decent and offers mileage up to 20 kmpl which is good enough as per the modern standards. "
"After completing over 2 lakh kilometres with this Etios Platinum, I’m proud to declare that I have purchased this car. The engine performs like butter but there is a little noise with the higher RPMs but that is manageable. Lookwise it's elegant as I don’t like fancy-looking cars. The tyres are quite good and the original tyres are still in usable condition. I have mostly driven this car in the city and it gives me a mileage around 17 kmpl which is sufficient for me. "
"I have driven Toyota Etios for 5 years and I’m completely satisfied with its fuel-efficiency, mileage, and comfort. The seats are cushioned decently and the under thigh support is excellent. It gives me up to 18 kmpl mileage in the city and up to 20 kmpl on the highway. I own a diesel variant that has a slight turbo lag. Also, the car feels a little underpowered on the hills. "
"If you want a sedan with a reliable engine and tough build-quality, you can think of purchasing this car. Though Etios has been discontinued now, you can purchase it from the used car markets. It has a spacious cabin with plenty of headroom and legroom. The massive bootspace of this car can be used to store everything you need during a long trip. It is a perfect car for family trips and long tours. The interior feels a bit dated but that can be ignored as you cannot get a car with such build-quality and features in this budget elsewhere."
