TKM has not announced plans to update the Toyota
Etios Cross, but if it intends to keep the Etios series in the market for
another few years, here’s how it could look.
The Etios Cross render incorporates the Rav4’s LED trifecta
(headlights, daytime running lights, and Hi-Lo headlights). The grille comes
from the recently unveiled 2018 Toyota Rush, while the TRD Sportivo variant of
the new Rush lends its front bumper. Other changes include smoother-looking
body cladding on the doors and black roof rails in place of silver ones. The
rest of the exterior is identical to the current model.
TKM launched facelifts of the Etios & Etios Liva
in September last year. However, the Etios Cross is yet to receive any updates
since its launch in May 2014. A couple of special editions have been launched,
however, with the most recent one being the Etios Cross X-Edition in September
2017.
Toyota offers the Etios Cross with three engine
options – 1.2 L Petrol, 1.5 L Petrol, and a 1.4 L Diesel. A 5-speed manual
transmission option is standard across the range. Prices start at INR 6.36
lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi) for the Etios Cross petrol range. Diesel variants are
priced INR 7.51 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi) onwards.
