Detailed review : | The Cross comes in both petrol and diesel options. Toyota hasn"t tweaked or tinkered with the engines and the power output stays the same. There is an option of two petrols and one diesel engine to choose from. The 1.2-litre, 79bhp petrol engine powers the base Etios Cross, while the top end petrol Cross employs the bigger 1.5-litre, 89bhp engine.Unlike the Cross Polo, the Etios Cross isn’t a half-hearted effort at creating a crossover. The 1.2-petrol costs Rs 5.76 lakh, the 1.5-petrol comes for Rs 7.35 lakh and the 1.4-diesel retails at Rs 6.90 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Compare that to Rs 7.75 lakh for the Cross Polo (it comes only in diesel variant) and you realise Toyota has played the price card very well. It is not much different to drive than the Etios Liva and the cabin is still noisy at high speeds, but the Etios Cross gets a lot of attitude and, I must say, is the finest version of the Etios range yet. It may not yet change Toyota’s fortunes in the small car segment, but Toyota has crossed the Rubicon with this car and the only way ahead is better quality levels in the Etios range. |
