Toyota Etios Liva: Design & Style
Posted on 
The Etios Liva has a certain cuteness to it and despite the fact that it sports the same front end as the Etios sedan, the Liva looks more appealing owing to the rounded hatch at the back
There is no doubting Toyota’s strategy when it comes to the Etios sedan and the Liva. Both cars have been designed simultaneously instead of just a hatch first and then sticking a boot on the back or vice versa. That clearly shows that the Etios LIVA is the same as its sedan version from the front and the inside. In fact, most people might not be able to differentiate between the two unless they view them from the rear. That said, the Liva does seem like a more complete package.
The press release for the Toyota Etios Liva says that the car’s front was designed to look like a happy face. Now, everyone’s favourite angry birds may or may not have been around when the car was penned, but there’s no denying that the two do look similar. And that is not necessarily a bad thing. It means that the Etios Liva has a certain cuteness to it and despite the fact that it sports the same front end as the Etios sedan, the Liva looks more appealing owing to the rounded hatch at the back. And that’s really where the magic of the Liva is.
The rear end design is simply a delight to behold. It makes the front end look complete moreover, something that the sedan could never manage. Two corner-mounted tail lights do the trick to give the Etios Liva not only a beautiful aura but also a very sporty stance. The car has a long wheelbase and pretty good ground clearance, but the overall design of the car helps camouflage both aspects extremely effectively from the outside so as not to appear jarring in any way.
If the exteriors are aggressive yet cute, the interiors live up to the car’s name beyond doubt. The complete set is a straight lift from the sedan which means it comes with the same vertically mounted central air conditioning vents and the chilled glovebox. The central instrument console is also carried over and we must say it does give the car a rather interesting dimension. The sporty theme is extended all the way from the seat fabric and the door trims to the steering wheel and the central dash layout. But then again, that was bound to happen considering that the Etios sedan was always a very nice car to be spending time in and the Liva’s insides are more or less an identical match.
