It is derived from its sedan sibling, Toyota Etios, and shares many of its features. Its spacious interior can house five passengers with utmost ease and provide them supreme comfort. The controls are light, the steering provides tilt function and the clutch is extremely light. The well-tuned suspension makes it a safe ride and the superb after-sales service of Toyota is a cherry on the cake. Weighing a little less than 1000 kg, Liva is extremely light and thus quite fuel efficient. The sleek chrome-treated grille highlights the frontage of Etios Liva. The fin-shaped rear combination lamps enhance the dynamic look of the hatchback. The blacked-out B-pillar along with the stylish alloy wheels add a tinge of sportiness to the looks of Liva. The ambience inside is a perfect match to the spectacular exterior. The colour scheme is bi-tonal and the ash brown color lends immense elegance to the interior of Liva.

Toyota Etios Liva comes with both types of engine variants – diesel and petrol, both offering superior mileage. The diesel engine registers an incredible mileage of 23.59kmpl and the EFI petrol engine, on the other hand, delivers a mileage of 17.71kmpl. Vehicular safety is ensured by safety features like SRS airbags for the driver and the co-passenger, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), engine immobilizer, keyless entry, driver seatbelt warning and door ajar warning. The small turning radius of 4.8 m makes Liva easy to maneuver and adding to the kick is the remarkable ground clearance of 170 mm. Parking would not be bothersome too as it fits into tight spots effortlessly. Owing to its marvelous mileage, it is quite a fantastic city car. Its wheelbase is shorter than the Etios, from which it is derived, but is still very spacious. It is reasonably priced between 4.54 L and 7.12 L, and comes in seven colours – Classic Grey, White, Symphony Silver, Harmony Beige, Celestial Black, Vermilion Red and Ultramarine Blue.
