Toyota Etios To Get New Improved Interiors-New Jet Black Tone

Kashish Bidsar — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:30:00 +0000

Toyota is a premium car maker that has always considered going with quality. A few months back the automaker came up with the Etios line-up consisting of Toyota Etios sedan and Toyota Etios Liva hatchback. Interestingly this time the brand made a car specific for the Indian market and for that it had to pour in a lot of efforts. No doubt the car had a strong practical aspect and was expected to be huge hit but for some reason it could not reach out to the hearts of countless indian buyers looking for an affordable and practical car. For us it were the looks and the aesthetics that were not good enough. The exteriors though pleasing, were not sporty enough and look too simple. Coming to the interiors, Toyota managed to design something different but unfortunately it did not work much on the quality of the interiors, which is considered to be a weak point. image – Toyota Etios Liva But at the 2012 Auto Expo it showcased the Etios with revamped interiors which were much better than the current one. Toyota has made some noticeable changes on the interiors which are as follows: The most interesting change brought by Toyota [...]

Toyota Camry 2012 New Model For India At The Auto Expo 2012

Kashish Bidsar — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:30:41 +0000

Of the handful of models constituting the Toyota India line-up the only model which has been deprived of a revision since a long while is the Toyota Camry but with the showcase of the 2012 Toyota Camry, the story is soon going to change. Well there is a reason why i said the above line and the evidence is the upcoming all new Camry. It is much better looking, very elegant, sharp but is a replica of Toyota luxury subsidiary Lexus’ LS sedan. Frankly speaking nothing innovative has been done for the Camry brand and instead the company has used the Lexus LS’s looks for the 2012 Camry. But despite the fact the car looks very refreshing will definitely turn out to be a head turner. image – 2012 Toyota Camry image – 2012 Toyota Camry rear Visually the car looks very promising but under the hood it would still remain the same and will come in two engine options: 2.6 Litre MPFI petrol developing 180 BHP and a 3.6 Litre V6 petrol engine delivering 270 BHP. Besides these two a turbocharged CRDI diesel option is also expected to be made available at the time of launch. image – 2012 Toyota [...]
