Toyota Etios Liva Review, Price, RTO & Insurance | Royal Sundaram
Toyota Etios Liva

Japanese auto-giant Toyota Motors conducted extensive research in the Indian market and customer-based study while designing a hatchback which led to the putting together of a fantastic little hatchback called the Toyota Etios Liva. Toyota entered the budget hatchback segment in the Indian market as late as 2010. However, the company ended up designing the world’s cheapest Toyota car with the Etios Liva and now competes head-on with the segment giants – Maruti and Hyundai.
