The Etios Cross is aimed at the young and sporty car consumers of India. This car offers a good doze of aggressive looks, luxury, loads of cabin space and power to allure buyers. The car is essentially the Etios with increased ground clearance and a body kit to make it appear more aggressive that its sedan counterpart. Looks wise the car keeps to Toyota’s conservative styling with some interesting body cladding on the sides, and a nicely styled front grille guard and some added style elements.
The important thing is that the Etios Cross is Toyota’s venture into the compact crossover of India.
