In the much-too-crowded small car market of India, Toyota’s absence was almost glaring, but the world’s largest carmaker has filled that void with Etios, its newest launch. The Toyota Etios will be manufactured by its makers in two models – Sedan as well as Hatchback, with the aim of bringing the company from the fringes to mainstream. The base price of this car has been set at Rs. 4.96 Lacs, while the top end model would cost Rs. 6.86 Lacs. Though a competitor for all vehicles in the small car segment, it is touted as the main rival for Maurti Swift and Swift Dzire.

The exteriors of Etios are stylish, but not as eye-catching as they could have been, but this was the case with Swift too, and look how everyone has warmed up to it! This car is available in four variants, all in petrol, but the buyers can choose any of the two Hatchbacks or two Sedans. The engines have capacities of 1.2L (80 bhp) and 1.5L (100 bhp), and the mileage recorded on Indian roads by Toyota is 17.6 kmpl, which is a laudable feat, considering the conditions of roads in the country. The fact that a car from world’s leading carmaker at economical rates, state-of-the-art features and excellent mileage will be in the minds of all Indian car buyers from now on.

• Power steering

• Automatic climate control system
• Rear defogger
• Steering adjustment
• Remote central locking
• Dash integrated music system
• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
• EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution)
• Dual SRS airbags

This car sports a curved hood, almost-smiling grill, broad headlights, door handles of body color and shiny logos of the manufacturer. The look is rather boxy and unrefined, which can be a deterrent for many, but its interiors make up for it plentiful. The spacious interiors are extremely eye-catching and provide a luxurious feel to the car. The dashboard looks very organized, with the speedometer and trip being located at the center. Two round AC ventilators have been incorporated into the dashboard, and placed below the stereo system. The gear lever is placed strategically, while the steering wheel is situated at a position that provides comfort to the driver. Overall, this car will appeal to the masses and certainly make Toyota one of the preferred choices of Indians.

Our planet is facing numerous threats, the biggest one being global warming, which is the result of excess CO2 in the environment. Cars produce substantial amounts of the gas, and with the stupendous number of internal combustion engine (ICE) based cars, those running on gasoline, present in the world, the production of harmful CO2 being reduced is unlikely. An alternative to ICE-based cars is electric car, which has been in existence, surprisingly, since the early 1900s.

First and foremost, electric cars run on batteries, which do not require CO2 emitting fuels, thereby proving to be the cleaner than the traditional vehicle. The cost of running electric cars is coming down every year and the speed & power are still comparable to the latest models of the ICE-based cars. The present-day electric cars run on Li-ion batteries, which can be charged from household power supplies. It takes 20 hours to completely charge the battery of electric cars in countries with 110W power supply and 8 hours in those with 220W supply.

Already, electric cars are suitable to travel distances less than 40 miles, which can’t really be considered short, and with new researches being carried out regarding long distance travel in these cars, we would be able to completely replace the gasoline-guzzling ICE-based cars with its cheaper and cleaner cousin.
