Here’s a pictorial review of the various features of the Toyota Etios VX petrol. The car is powered by a 90PS, 1.5 litre engine that is very drivable in the city. It also is quite spacious on the inside, but its looks are subjective. You can also read our full road test

Photo: The headlamp-levelling device in the Etios is cable-operated. The bonnet lever situated next to it looks quite old school.
