The Toyota Etios Liva is same as Etios sedan but this car offers five members to take the seat comfortably. The car has a shorter wheelbase and the plastic quality is also not upto the entire satisfaction. The hatchback would definitely satisfy the Indian customers with its good interior features. The Liva is considered to be one of the most comfortable car with best rear seats with large squabs, perfect cushioning and back rest angle which is very suitable for long drives. The front seats are really attractive with perfect padding. The company has designed the interiors with instrument panel with offset AC vents.

Toyota Etios Liva User Reviews

Disappointed with the Toyota Liva

Hello everybody, I am writing this review in a very sad condition because I am totally disappointed with the Toyota product. At first I like the car very much for its spacious cabin in which three guys can take their seat without any hassle. It is very fun to drive but later I found many problems. Its build quality is too too bad and the dashboard and interiors are really bad. The car door also looks really light and sure it would not be very safe. The Toyota Liva has bad insulation, lot of tyre and engine noise from inside. If the road is not in a good condition, surely we would hate the car too. Because the suspension is not so good and it offers low ground clearance. Spares are too too expensive and these are not easily available. The vehicle has missed some important features including alloys, autodown power windows, fog lamps, boot lamp and many more. Guys pls choose good brand and not Toyota before selecting a vehicle.

Worst Choice of Car

If we are searching a car for our personal driving purpose, then Toyota Liva is not the correct choice. Because the engine of the car is very noisy and its hard clutch makes driving very uncomfortable especially while moving in a heavy traffic roads. And the interiors are really bad. Before purchasing the car, it should be test drived more than two times and find whether it would be suited for us. Before test drive, 1) drive more than 5 km in traffic 2) switch off the blower and music and find the engine noise while moving and feel the clutch hardness 3) Check whether the steering is very smooth. Personally, I am not having a good opinion regarding this Toyota Liva car.

Satisfied with the vehicle

I am using Toyota Liva for the past few years. I like its excellent exteriors and overall build quality. Actually it resembles like a smaller brother of Innova while seeing from the front. Its interior features are also attractive which includes enough headroom, legroom and shoulder room, smooth suspension, amazing steering etc. While talking about the fuel efficiency, it is very good along with better ride quality and handling. According to me, it is the best value for money pack and no one gives this much top finished car with ABS, Airbags etc. It has to change some parts such as reverse parking lamp, single wiper etc. Overall, it is a satisfactory vehicle.

Spacious Hatch

Hi guys, my vehicle is Toyota Liva and I am regularly using for my office which has a nice exterior but the interior needs some changes. It has lot of interior spaces compared to other hatchbacks. The vehicle offers good mileage with cool AC and glove box. Actually I have test driven many cars but I like Toyota Liva very much since it has smooth gear box, smooth steering, steering tilt which is quite good. It would takes us at awesome speed with or without AC. It is really suitable for those who are looking for more space, extra legroom with height.
