Toyota Etios

Among the 495 Toyota entries in the MotorJury library, the Toyota Etios holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2010. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Toyota Etios properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Jeep Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Nissan Nissan Leaf, the Lexus Lexus LFA — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Toyota Etios reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1197 cc Toyota NR engine#3NR-FE / 3NR-FE Straight-four engine / I4 (NGK10) / 1329 cc Toyota NR engine#1NR-FBE / 1NR-FBE I4 (NGK11) / 1496 c; quoted output is 59 kW (3NR-FE) / 65 kW (1NR-FBE) / 66 – (2NR-FE/2NR-FBE) / 50 kW (1ND-TV); drive goes through 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 6-speed manual / 4-speed Automatic transmission / automatic (South America); the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Toyota story

Within Toyota's own catalogue the Toyota Etios sits alongside the Toyota Agya, the Toyota Calya, the Toyota Cami, the Toyota Duet. The record names the successor = Toyota Yaris (XP150)#Yaris Ativ / Toyota Yaris saloon (XP150) (saloon, India) / Toyota Agya (A350) / Toyota Agya GR (A350) (Indonesia) / Toyota Glanza/Toyota Starlet (2 as its predecessor and the Toyota Yaris (XP150)#Yaris Ativ / Toyota Yaris saloon (XP150) (saloon, India) / Toyota Agya (A350) / Toyota Agya GR (A350) (Indonesia) / Toyota Glanza/Toyota Starlet (2020) / Starl as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Masayuki Yamaji, Koichi Suga and Kenji Kido. Assembly is recorded at India: Bidadi / Bidadi, Karnataka (Toyota Kirloskar / TKM) / Brazil: Sorocaba, São Paulo / Indonesia: Karawang Regency / Karawang, West Java (Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia /.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Toyota Etios was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
