Toyota is among the first to conquer the cross market in 2014, with the classy Etios Liva cross unveiled in May. Car enthusiasts have captured a camouflaged Hyundai i20 Cross car, and Hyundai is keen to gain a strong foothold into its rare venture and aims to overpower the dominant status of Etios Cross.

Even since the Etios Cross launched in May, it is in the most wanted car list, the whole of India is after the car. It’s got an unbeatable rugged car nature, with a solid black cladding treatment on the side, roof rails and taller wheels. The load bearing capacity of the car is 50 to 55kgs, and the nature of design is parallel to Etios Liva hatchback.
The inner décor of Etios Cross is similar to Etios Liva, it is feature rich and the quality of equipment is world class. The cabin room is vast sufficient to accommodate at least five occupants. The car moves on an efficient 1.5 liter and 1.2 liter petrol engine. The 1.5 liter car has a battery load of energy and emits 132Nm and 89bhp, the 1.2 liter car yields 104Nm and 79bhp. There is a 1.4 liter four cylinder mill as well that churns 170Nm and 67bhp. The three engines are coupled with five speed manual gearbox.
Hyundai will have to indulge in a lot of body work with its i20 Cross to out beat Etios Cross. The design structure of i20 Cross draws inspiration from Elite i20, the car will have aluminium roof rails, differently shaped alloy wheels and body cladding, the vision here is to cater to the needs of the ambitious young demographic.

The mechanical properties of Elite i20 Cross is similar to Elite i20, it will run on 1.4 liter diesel and 1.2 liter petrol engine. The 1.2 liter car is matted to five speed manual transmission and 1.4 liter car, a six speed manual transmission gearbox.
Toyota has achieved great market share volumes with Etios Cross in a short span of time. The customer purchasing capacity is 5,400 units, which makes it a menacing threat to its competition. The car market in India is currently going through a burning competition phase, for two continuous years, many esteemed firms were unable to gather sufficient buyers and it has intensified the competition levels, the Cross market too has become a profit driving sector.
Etios Cross is a cross variant of Etios Liva, and its core cross demeanor is hard to beat, on the front is a glossy silver bull bar that highlights the fierce nature of the car, and the silver roof rail completes the unique cross creativity picture. Apart from Hyundai, Fiat is inspired by the development of Etios Cross and has manufactured a Fiat Avventura cross car, that will launch tomorrow.
It will be interesting to learn about the future progress of i20 Cross in the coming months and its potential threat impact on Etios Cross, there is indeed so much of Cross excitement to look forward to.
