Exterior
I bought an Etios VXD (diesel top-end) in Dec 2014, its a facelift version with a changed grill design! I am satisfied with the exteriors since I was more inclined for a simple yet elegant family car not much bothering about curves!
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
The new Greige interiors with a sporty leather steering wheel is perfect. Match it with Greige leather seat covers and you will feel luxury at its best!
Other new features like bluetooth, AUX-in, 6 speakers, chrome gear knob and AC vents, side door wooden finish make u feel pampered for!
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
A little low on power and pick-up, but I somehow love the diesel engine sound!!! Its feels a little mature and good to me.
The engine noise is zero or less in cabin!! Thats another added feature in the facelift version. Gear shift is very smooth and segmental.
Ride Quality & Handling
Excellent! No issues with ride quality!
Final Words
Case 1: Etios VXD - 10 lacs (Full entry sedan) vs. Amaze - 9.5 lacs (Compact sedan) vs. Dzire - 9 Lacs (compact sedan) : Why not buy a full sedan for almost the same price and a Toyota brand?
Case 2: Etios VXD (10 lacs) vs. Honda City (13 lacs) vs. Hyundai Verna (13.5 lacs): For a working class family man, it makes sense to spend 10 lacs and buy a top end diesel car comparable to size of other premium sedans like City or Verna!!! Think!!!
Areas of improvement
Power: A littlelow, should be atleast 90-100 BHP!
Cabin space, boot space, features for top-end car in segment, Grey-Beige (Greige) interiors!A little low on pick-up and power!
