Toyota has launched the 2017 Toyota Etios (Facelift) in Brazil, featuring the bumpers and styling changes previously exclusive to the Etios Platinum. The new Etios ranges between R$ 45,990 – R$ 68,390. Note that the Etios Cross does not receive the cosmetic facelift.

Like the Etios Platinum, the new Etios and Etios sedan feature a V-shaped grille with black inserts and body-colored accents, a sporty bumper with larger intakes, round foglamps and a faux silver bumper garnish. It gets the same 15-inch alloy wheels, side skirts (XLS only), chrome garnish on the boot lid/tailgate and a sportier rear bumper.


Inside, the Etios duo comes with an all black dashboard adorned with piano black trim and chrome-ringed HVAC vents, a multifunction steering wheel design with buttons and a Prius-inspired digital instrument cluster. Other new features include cruise control, ISOFIX child seat mounts and head restraint and three-point seatbelt for the middle seat passenger.

The engine lineup includes the same 1.3L and 1.5L Dual VVT-i flex-fuel engines. Both engines come equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, while a new 4-speed automatic transmission is standard in Ready, XLS, Cross and Platinum grades.
