Goodbye Etios, Say Hello To New Toyota Yaris Ativ

The Japanese auto giant has announced that there won't be an updated etios for the indian market. Instead, toyota brings the stunning Yaris Ativ to India. The ongoing etios didn't get enough sale apart from the cab buyers due to its boring looks and tight competition. There was a huge gap between etios and the corolla in which the majority of Indian customers preferred  on to. Toyota finally realizing their mistake, has decided to replace etios with the new Yaris Ativ.


Is it a new car?? No. The Yaris Ativ is series that has been around since 1999. The current generation Yaris is already on sale in Thailand. In Thailand, the Yaris only gets the 1.2 litre petrol option which makes 87 hp coupled with a CVT automatic transmission. While coming to India, Yaris could get the 1.4 litre diesel in either etios's or corolla's configuration. 




















If toyota can fit the car into sub 4 metre, the yaris ativ will be a strong opponent for compact sedans like swift dzire. The car undoubtedly has great visual treatment which woos the Indian customers. Play it right and Yaris ativ could be the next compact sedan leader.
