Recently, Toyota launched the 2013 Innova facelift MPV in India. The new facelift is available in Z, VX and GX trim variants. Except for the top spec trim, all the other trims will be coming in either 7 seat or 8 seat configuration.

Currently, Corolla Altis is sold in the market in both diesel as well as petrol variant. The car is a perfect example of efficiency that offers the best-in-class mileage and thus, is quite popular.

Toyota Etios

The launch of the Etios marked a new beginning for Toyota in India as it forayed into the below 7 lakh price mass volume category in India. Toyota Kirloskar aimed at selling 70,000 units of the stunning Etios per year in India and also aimed at expanding its dealership network across India in 150 by 2010 year end.

This sedan was originally labeled as the EFC (Entry Family Car). The Etios stands for Principle and Spirit which Toyota intended to present to Indian customers. For the Etios, 2000 plus engineers from Japan and India worked with each other for nearly four years to bring a lethal blend of unparalleled stringent quality standards and local design and styling sensibilities as seen in the Etios.

Toyota Etios Liva

Toyota also recently launched the new editions of Etios Liva. The ‘Xclusive’ edition of the Etios Liva is currently grabbing good sales numbers. The Xclusive edition is designed on the mid-sped G version platform of the Liva and Etios. The most striking difference is that the new version features two-tone beige and cream interiors as opposed to the G trim’s mono-color cabin.

Apart from the above mentioned, there is also Fortuner, Prius, LC Prado and Land Cruiser. Indeed, Toyota continues to explore the Indian markets with its cutting edge designs and technologies.
