Very Good Car

Exterior The car has a strong shoulder line with an upward cut along the bottom of the door. Etios Liva Diesel looks much more proportioned and well balanced in comparison to bland looking sedan variant.Not world class but same time not bad either. Its reasonably good looking car. Looks great in almost all the available colors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 2013 LIVA interior much better same segment car like swift ,polo i20 .The interior is bigger brighter and comfortable for five people. The leg room in the back seed is best in class. Its a allround family car comfortably transport 5 people.AC is powerful and quick enough to cool the car in no time. Music system that is available in V & VX is really good and you would get the same 2DIN  for below 10K for the G variant also. There are no door speakers provided on the backside. All the 4 speakers are placed in the front part. I have seen the same in A-Star, but not sure how it would be useful.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Toyota Etios Liva diesel is powered by same engine which powers the Corolla Altis diesel but it has been fine-tuned to increase the fuel efficieny which is expected to be around 22 kmpl on highway. But the negative aspect of this is that power is only 67 bhp, which seems to be very less for a car of this segment.

Ride Quality & Handling ts made for city driving and it will definitely do that job very well. Very light steering offers best in class driving experience and offers excellent maneuverability in city driving conditions. Moreover 4.9 mtr turning radius gives ability to drive comfortably in city road conditions.  4-cylinder engine is very responsive and idle for "mostly city and occassional high way drives". I can say the ride quality is very superior though a little under performant in the class, but that is understandable. Suspensions are cleverly used in the car.

Final Words Quality product which is reliable and you will definately appreciate it every day. So if you are looking for a premium hatchback look no further.
