Toyota South Africa is gearingup for a very busy year. Kicking things off will be the new Etios range, cars that are meant to fill the gap left by the departure of the Tazz over 5 years ago. While Toyota has twice tried to cover this void – first with Yaris Zen and lately with Aygo– it appears customers aren’t buying into these models as they did with lovely Tazz.
Built in India, Etios then becomes the new Tazz. It will be offered with two body styles, a sedan and a hatch. We expect the hatch to be the more popular. In some countries it is offered with either a 1.4-litre or a 1.5-litre petrol. Mzansi is getting the 1.5-litre with 66kW and 132Nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed manualgearbox.
Etios launches in Mzansi during May sometime. Toyota plans on and is working extremely hard in ensuring that the days of Volkswagen Polo Vivo ruling the passenger car sales are long gone. Perhaps it will be third time lucky for them.
