After the success of the Etios and the recent launch of the Etios Liva, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) further expanded the Etios product range by announcing the launch of the diesel variants of Etios and Etios Liva. The vehicles are powered with a refined 1.4 litre D-4D Common Rail Diesel Engine that generates maximum power of 68PS @3800 rpm and highest torque of 170NM @1800-2400 rpm.
