Apart from build quality and performance, prospective customers have also been rather concerned with mileage, after all mileage is the holy grail to any car's success in India. Tushar Mathur from Gurgaon voices his concern, "Toyota Automobile new sedan Etios has got the looks, the power and the reliability. The smiling 'human face' looks will definitely bring some smiles on people looking for sedan in this segment. The price range of Rs.7 lakh to Rs 9 lakh is very apt and will give a tough fight to the Honda Auto mobile, Hyundai Verna and the Chevrolet Optra. Also the 1.5 liter petrol engine will definitely produce impressive power but my concern is the fuel efficiency. It might be an issue."
On the contrary, Amanish Kumar Jena of Mumbai is confident on the average Toyota Etios will offer, he says, "I am sure the Etios will offer at least 13-14 kilometers to the litre, but I am doubtful with the price. I think it will be a costly affair."
The survey also revealed that there could be issues with the Etios matching the class it has been offered in. "I am a little dicey with the Q class concept. With price range getting low, it might affect the features the other segments have," says a confused Nitin Maheshwari of Bangalore.
Overall the feedback from prospective customers and enthusiasts alike has revealed that the Etios needs to be a car of quality and should stand as testimony to Toyota's build quality. The car should be spacious, fuel efficient and have decent features. The price should by no means reach the Honda City territory. If the Etios lives up to these standards, Toyota has a winner on their hands. Come December, when the Etios is finally made available to customers, we will indeed get to know if the Etios has lived up to customer expectations.
