According to Autonetmagz, Toyota Astra Motors’ general manager said that since India is the production base of the Etios, orders can already be filled with no constrains whatsoever.

Gold Taxi is one of the companies that already got several Etios sedans, after Blue Bird group, one of Indonesia’s largest fleet operators, said that the vehicle is too small for a taxi and they will stick with the Nissan Almera and Toyota Limo (which is a low-spec Vios model).

The new Toyota Etios comes with a redesigned front grille, tail and headlights along with other visual details. The interior now features ice-blue-lighted instrument panel, seats with additional cushioning, height adjustable driver’s seat and adjustable headrests. Power is provided by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine making 100 hp (66kW).
