This duo are likely to be launched in India during the festive season of Diwali this year. According to company dealerships, the bookings of new <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Etios">Etios</a></u> and <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Etios_Liva">Liva</a></u> will start soon. This will be the 2nd update for Etios siblings. The cars were earlier updated a couple of years back. The updated cars remain more or less the same; no major changes can be seen in their designs. However there are some minor changes, let's look into it.</p><p>&nbsp; On the exteriors, the cars get an all new V-shaped grilles with chrome finish on top and bottom side of it. In-between the chrome lines are black inserts, also the front bumper sports a dual tone design with a larger air dam and fog lamps that look more distinguished now. The wheels get 15" diamond cut alloys that feel upmarket and sporty at the same time. Except for the side skirts, the side profile looks unchanged.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Now the interiors; the updated cars get an all-black dashboard with piano black trim, sporty 3 spoke steering wheel with infotainment buttons on both the sides. The instrument cluster is digital and there's a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation. Cruise control, equipped in the Brazilian models, might not make way here. Both the cars are packed with the existing engines, a 1.2-litre petrol engine that produces 78 BHP of power and 104 Nm of torque. The diesel trim is powered by a 1.4-litre engine producing 67 BHP with a peak torque of 170 Nm. The hatchback might be offered with 1.5-litre petrol engine churning 88 BHP and 132 Nm torque.</p><p>&nbsp; Safety wise, the cars will continue with their existing safety kit that comprises of dual airbags, ABS (Anti-locking Braking System) with EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) and BA (Brake Assist). In India, Etios twins were the first cars in their segments to get dual airbags as standard feature. In fact, ABS on diesel models were also standard. Hope this time around the petrol models too gets ABS in the lower trims.</p><p></p>
