Toyota Vios (India)
Zigwheels has put up a gallery of spyshots featuring
a Toyota Vios testing in Lonavla, Maharashtra. Toyota Kirloskar Motor
hasn’t confirmed its market launch in India, but have said that they are
looking to fill the gap between the Toyota Platinum Etios and Corolla Altis.
Although the Vios was rumored to launch in India
this year, new reports state that the Indian market will get an ’emerging
market’ version of the Toyota Vios (codenamed Etios C) and not the current
version that is popular in South Asia. As the codename hints, Toyota’s Honda
City challenger will be based on a modified Toyota Etios platform, which is
highly localized in India.
The Etios C’s design is reported to be heavily
inspired by the Vios, similar to the relationship between the Renault Captur
and Kaptur. It is also reported to be in the pipeline for the Brazilian market.
