<p>&nbsp; Right after its inception in 2010 for the Indian market, Etios managed to clock decent numbers for Toyota in India. Being a Toyota, Etios remains a very reliable sedan with quite mundane three box sedan appeal. To entice Indian buyers, Toyota soon added some cosmetic tweaks on the outside as well as inside for an upmarket feel. The biggest change on the outside is its bold new chrome grille with a V shaped chrome bar that houses the Toyota badging in a rectangular chrome insert. With raised bonnet creases at the centre and angular sweptback headlamps, Etios manages to appear quite decent onto the eye. The only downside will be its orthodox front bumper that looks quite dated with small fog lamp inserts on the corners and a large air dam at the center. The sedan doesn’t really excite you from the sides as well with a standard sedan like roofline and a very blurry shoulder line onto the sides. It appears, as if Toyota has really kept this car for mass market and more towards a commercial use with not much afterthoughts on its exterior appeal. The only savior are the newly appointed electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs with turn indicators onto the side.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Its box design continues at the back as well with a thick chrome bar below the boot lid and decent looking sweptback tail light cluster. Now, if you don’t really admire its simple and mundane exterior design, Toyota also offers its accessory arm i.e. TRD Sportivo with the Etios to add that extra spark and sportiness to this sedan. What you get is a stylish front lip spoiler along with side skirts and an attractively finished rear bumper in addition to a spoiler on the trunk as well to jazz up the drive.
