The perfect example of a popular hatchback-crossover model in India is the Toyota Etios Cross, the newest member of the Etios family. For those who don’t know, the Etios Cross is actually the fully revamped version of the Etios Liva hatchback.

Launched in the month of May this year, the Etios Cross has been a well received car in India and is also selling very well making the company happy about its performance in the market. The Etios Cross though essentially the same Liva as is available in India, offers much better style factor and a great sporty visual appeal which has gone well with the young crowd of India which was aimed by Toyota very rightly.

The new Toyota Etios Cross comes with a very aggressive face, with a new grille, refreshed bumpers, full body cladding, roof spoiler, skid plats, loads of chrome garnishes, totally refreshed and more premium interiors, and newly designed larger diamond cut  alloy wheels that also gives it increased ground clearance for better rough road performance. Though the Etios Cross is by no means a real SUV, it certainly has alluring looks and aggressive stance of a SUV, which works well with the stylish city dwellers who never actually make their SUVs hit the off-roads.

Fiat India has released a small trailer for the Avventura crossover ahead of its launch during the festival season. The Italian car maker showcased the vehicle at the 2014 Auto Expo in February.

Now, the Toyota Etios Cross is soon going to get tough competition from the new upcoming Fiat Avventura which is due for its Indian market launch in this festive season. The Avventura is based on the Fiat Punto hatchback and has the killer looks to fit its fast growing compact crossover segment.

In terms of looks, the Fiat Avventura will come with projector headlights, a full body kit, chunky tyres as well as a tail gate mounted spare wheel in order to give it the aggressive SUV.

On the inside as well, the Fiat Avventura will have the same interiors as the Punto albeit with lots of design changes and minor additions such as a two tone upholstery, chrome inserts and some more.

The Fiat Avventura will be powered by the same range of engines as the Punto which are 1.2 liter and 1.4 liter petrol engines and 1.3 liter Multijet diesel engine. The engines will be mated to a 5 speed or a 6 speed manual gearbox.

Fiat Avventura is expected to be priced at Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 8 lakh and will compete with the Toyota Etios Cross and VW Cross Polo.

Now, soon after the India launch, Toyota has gone ahead by launching the India made Etios Cross in the South African car market. The new Toyota Etios Cross has launched in South Africa tagged at Rs. 159,800 Rand (approximately Rs. 8.99 lakhs). Similar to the Indian car market, the new Etios Cross has joined the Toyota Etios family containing the Liva hatchback and the Etios sedan in South Africa.

The Toyota Etios Cross for the South African car market is exactly the same car that has just recently launched in the Indian car market. The Toyota Etios Cross is a hatchback turned crossover model similar to that of the Volkswagen Cross Polo. The Etios Cross is a completely design overhaul and a beefier version of the same Toyota Etios Liva hatchback.

Nonetheless, the new Toyota Etios Cross looks much more attractive and aggressive that the Liva, owing to its added cosmetic features that have been smartly incorporated by Toyota. The Etios Cross has been fitted with a new body kit that comprises of full plastic body cladding in matte black with silver accents, new bumpers, sporty silver roof rails and side skirts and new 10 spoke diamond cut alloy wheels in dual color. These cosmetic changes help give the Etios Cross its trendy masculine new visual appeal, which already seems to be highly appreciated.

On the inside, Toyota endows the Etios Cross with a more premium feel by updating the Liva’s cabin thoroughly. The Etios Cross offers classy black themed upholstery along with a piano-black theme center console. The black seats covers get the ‘Cross’ logo sticked onto it with contrasting white stitching. The new Toyota Etios Cross is only available in the top of the line variant and thus, it packs in great safety features as well including dual airbags and ABS with EBD as standard.

While the Toyota Etios Cross is offered in the Indian car market in three petrol and diesel engine options, in South Africa it will be offered only with the 1.5 liter petrol motor that generates 89bhp of max power and 132Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a 5 speed manual transmission gearbox. In India, the Etios Cross is also available with a 1.2 liter petrol as well as a 1.4 liter diesel engine options.

The more affordable Etios range was developed by Toyota for the developing car markets of the world. While the Etios sedan and Etios Liva hatchback have been good sellers, the far attractive looking Etios Cross is expected to boost the range’s success further.

Toyota Etios Cross is quite similar to the Etios twins in terms of the looks. The Etios Cross has got some added features to it to suit its Cross breed nature. The car is surrounded by a black cladding at its bottom which enhances the muscularity of the car and gives a compact SUV-ish feeling to it. The Etios Cross also looks big on road. The rear end of the car has got a spoiler. And the roof rails also adds to the character of the car. We did not expect the Etios Cross to look any different from the Etios twins but we were wrong. The Etios Cross looks very steady and unshakable.

Just like the exteriors, the interiors of the Etios Cross shares a lot features with the Etios Liva. But the quality of the materials used has been improved. Also, the seats feels nicer now. As the dimensions of the Etios Cross have increased by a few millimetres, the cabin space is ample for both the front and the rear passengers. Toyota has passed the centre instrument cluster from the Etios twins to the Cross. We have no idea why the Japanese provided it in the Etios twins in the first place.

Toyota Etios Cross is available in 3 engine options, 2 petrol and 1 diesel. We will talk about the diesel variant here. The diesel unit is a 1.4 litre engine which churns out a max power output of 68 PS at 3800 RPM and generates a peak torque of 170 Nm at 1800-2400 RPM. The engine is refined and smooth. The people in India prefers the diesel engine over petrol (you know the reason why) Toyota claims that the Toyota Etios Cross Diesel will give a mileage of 23 kmpl.

The Etios Cross is a nice car. It feels great and looks better than the Etios twins. The enhancements in the exteriors of the car gives a more prominent look to it and overall the Cross seems to be pretty solid. The diesel engine works the way it should and gives a great fuel efficiency. At present, the only real competitor of the Etios Cross is the German made VW Polo Cross. But to be honest, Polo would definitely looks more pleasing than the Etios twins but the Etios Cross looks much better, as a crossover, than the VW Polo Cross. Priced at a range of Rs 7-8 lakhs, we don’t see a reason not to choose the Etios Cross Diesel.
