Toyota Etios Diesel

It's clear that the Etios diesel has many shortcomings. The engine, though adequately powerful in the city, feels a bit breathless on the highway and is pretty noisy too. Built to a cost, it doesn't feel as plush as it should and priced at Rs 7.87 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it's not that cheap either. But space and comfort is where the Etios scores in spades. It is phenomenally practical, thanks to its unmatched space, superb comfort and terrific fuel efficiency. Also, the light controls and the engine's linear power delivery make it very easy to live with. It may not enthuse you but the Etios diesel comes across as a car that you can depend on, day in and day out. If you're looking for a fuss-free efficient diesel-engined saloon, you can't really go wrong with this Toyota.
