The Toyota Etios is a line of four-door sedan and five-door hatchback subcompact cars produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota for the Indian automotive market since 2010, for South Africa [1] and Brazil[2] since 2012 and Indonesia from 2013 until 2017 (1.2 litre petrol hatchback). The Etios nameplate comes from the Greek "Ethos", meaning spirit, character, and ideas.[3] The sedan version was launched in December 2010 and the Liva hatchback was launched in June 2011.[4] In May 2012, the Etios Series reached total sales of 100,000 units in India.[5] The Etios has been facelifted twice, in March 2013 and November 2014. No changes to the overall design were made, but there were changes to the interiors, grille, and tail lamps. Toyota introduced the Etios MR2 in 2010, designating it the model code "AK10". When fitted with the 1.2-liter 3NR-FE engine, it is known as the "NGK12". Likewise, the 1.5-liter 2NR version is identified by the "NGK15" code. The 1.4-liter 1ND diesel version is referred to as the "NUK15". The Etios is based on the EFC platform.
