Toyota Etios Liva [2014-2016] User Reviews

Exterior Okish.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No cilmate control /good ac , good music system / comfortable seats [have put 4 adults in rear seat for 150 km without any prob]/ huge leg space/central console may appear awkward to some/day-night rearview mirror is very usefull.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Aalmost silent petrol engine/calm suspension/linear power delivery/smooth gear change/never out of breath while overtaking/good power brakes with confidence of ABS/dual airbag.

Ride Quality & Handling Extremely cool ride quality , not for enthusiasts/confident on curves and inclinations. Bumper to bumper traffic or highway/body roll almost nil.

Final Words Extremely VFM/only competitor to this aspect is new ford figo titanium/reliability of a toyota = peace of mind/just get a tankfull and run/maintaince almost nil/cost/km cheaper than alto.

Areas of improvement 6 airbags needed / headlight beam throw [not satisfactory with OEM bulbs]/ more information on display like km to empty , live FE etc / side collision protector rubberstraps should be wider.

spaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......leg spac [ u can easily take a nap ] ...almost zero body roll...ASSlight build....ground clearance...mud guards came off only after 500 km

Exterior 2015 version has new grill, updated tail lamps, overall looks good if you choose right color

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 2 Airbags standard in all variants, GD variant comes with ABS and EBD too.

GD variant is fairly equiped with adjustable height Driver seat, rear defogger, steering adjustment, day-night RVM

Space is major + point for this car, three mature adults can sit on rear bench with no shoulders touching 😇, no knees touching front seat and with enough head room.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is mighty, doesn't run out of power at any rpm any gear. 20kmpl before 1st service (with 50-50 city and highway driving😎). Gearbox is smooth, accurately placed with just right throw, slots in nicely, inspires confidance.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspension tuning is at its best city ride is quite comfortable with least gear changes and soft bahaving suspensions. Highway ride is awesome with accurate steering, bare minimum body roll, cruises steadily at 125 with no diesel noise inside, feels steady calm and composed at high speed, lil children can sleep peacfully at rear seat, tyre grip is good, brakes are quite efficient & confident

Final Words DSK Toyota, Pune has good service record, every visit to the showroom was a delighter. We took multiple test drives, Hospitality is good. Their attitude is fair to maintain long term relation. 

I think I made a right decision after 6 months of research, I finally found The Perfect All Rounder

Areas of improvement Nothing to complaint about after 18K km

Spaaaaaacccccceeee, Steering is at its best, Toyota' s reliabilityWill update as soon as find any

Good looking Car with very good design. Rear Look will be good with rear roof spoiler.

Interior is not great but still looks good with black & grey interior. One nice feature in the car is cooled glove box which keeps water & beveregs cool in the glove. Best suited for family as 3 people can sit comfortably on the rear seat.

No doubt about Toyota excellent engineering & technology. Very Smooth & easy driving car with a mileage of 16KMPL in city.

Best in class riding & driving quality. Cluth is little bit hard, can be improved.

My suggesstion is to have a feel of the car before buying, i'm sure you will like it.

Though the car is excellent in all aspects but still missing with some features like Push Start Button, Auto A/C, No controls on steering. Music system should have been given in built in basic model. Outside rear view mirrors are manually adjustable which is one of the negative impact.

Space, Comfort & PerformanceSome Features Missing like Auto A/C, Push start button etc..

Pros Good average Stable on highway Good service Reliable Since 5 yr, I am driving Around 90000 km, still do not demand much maintenance Spacious. Cons Poor interior

Exterior Strong, beautiful. durable. paint quality is very good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious, average look, very comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine and fuel economy is the best part of myvehicle. Very low service charges. I travel approx. 3000 km per month and i get 24-25 km/lt average without ac in winter and 20-22 km/lt with ac in summer. quite economical vehicle. I take diesel  from Shell Pump. Gearbox is ok.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth riding on highway. The car is stable at the speed of 120 km/hr. Very good in city driving because of 4.8 turning radius.

Final Words If anyone is going to purchase a new car, must take test drive of Toyota Etios Live and see the quality in it. It is the world number one company for the last three years. Overall it is one of the best hatchback with peace of mind.

Areas of improvement Make interior more beautiful and attractive which is a liitle bit less in comparision to others.

Good engine, good mileage, very comfortable carcabin sound

Exterior Simple but elegant. I Have the Liva Dual Tone - Red & Black. and it looks quite elegant. I wanted a small hatch, which also had a little elegance but not very loud. And the Liva fit the role exactly. Alloy wheels are also neat and classy.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Again simple, but very spacious. Dont understand the fuss people make about the center console. The seats are comfortable. Would have helped if the seats were electoniclly adjusted.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Gear box smooth.

Economy Cant really complaint.

Engine Fun to drive.

Ride Quality & Handling Rides smooth, steering handling is just amazing.

Final Words The car does seem boring. But functionllay it does every thing a car is supposed to Do.

Areas of improvement The car doesnt come with elctronic OVRMS.

Conclusion: The car has two short comings - No electonic OVRMS and low power. But given the possitives of the rest of the car, Im delighted with the whole package.

Fun to drive & Loads of SpaceA little underpowered

hello all if you guys take my advise then don not but toyota Etios or Etios liva because its not worth for your money. I am using this car from past one year now I am feeling i a driving a 5 year old car. there are noise issues with this car noise from doors and dashboard. that can not be fixed due to low quality material used by toyota why i am saying that because after the dashboard replacement same noise problem starts after 10 days. Further more this car gives very low mileage when you drive in city or even with AC. I get 14 kmpl in city and 19 kmpl with ac on a normal road with minimum gear shift. For log drive it can give 21 kmpl. This is my genuine Feedback please think 100 times before buy Etios or etios liva. I will be reached at 08196XXXXXX.

good engine lifeBad interior low quality plastic used . tick tick noise comes from dashboard after 6 months or so

Exterior GOOD LOOKS WITH NEW GRILL ITS MORE ATTRACTIVE.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) SPACIOUS COMFORTABLE FOR A FAMILY OF 5 PEOPLE AND LUGGAGE YOU CAN DRIVE THIS CAR CONTINUOSLY FOR HUNDREDS OF KMS WITH LESS EFFORT ON HIGHWAYS ABS WORKS PERFECTLY AND YOU HAVE THE PROTECTION OF2 AIRBAGS DRIVING POSITION IS GOOD COMPARED TO OTHER CARS.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox JUST GREAT SERVICE INTERVAL IS AT EVERY 10000 KM EASY TO MAINTAIN THE LIVA FRIENDLY SERVICE TEAM AT RADHAMADHAV TOYOTA IN VIJAYAWADA ENGINE ROCKS IT GIVES 18-20 KMS DEPENDING ON THE SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING GEAR CHANGING IS SMOOTH AND EFFORTLESS WHEN YOU ARE IN A HURRY YOU CAN TOUCH 140PLUS KM SPEED EASILY IF THE ROAD TRAFFIC PERMITS.

Ride Quality & Handling SUPER RIDE QUALITY WITH COOL HANDLING SUSPENSION IS ON SOFTSIDE WHICH IS VERYGOOD IN THE CITY.
