Net vir interessantheid: Het julle al die Etios Cross gesien? Ek dink dis blerrie oulik - mamma het gister gesign vir een.

Me think it's the better looking car compared to standard Etios, also comparing to polo cross, Etios takes the cup

Absolutely man. You must take it for a spin - what a joy. Wouldn't say it's made in India.

Also think it's quite snazzy

Actually reommended this to our secretary ... her car was written of a few weeks back.

bit flashy for me, but in this segment it will surely do WELL :)

Something different, I like it! Anything could go, as long as it has a toyota badge.....

Looks good. The only problem I have with the "cross" vehicle on our market is they all seem to have low profile tires. According to me the idea behind a cross vehicle is a "platkar" that is made for dirt roads then low profile tire does not make sense.

O well that is much cheaper than the Polo Cross

I got the renault sandero 900cc last week, took dynamique model, stepway to flashy, I looked at all of them in that class, renault was tops. 146k new. That 900cc turbo pulls like a train. Im really impressed.

Dit is so Tiaan. Ek moet egter sê: Ons het twee weke terug 'n Polo Vivo as 'n huurvoertuig in die Kaap gery - Die twee is vir my nie in dieselfde klas nie. Die Etios voel baie meer solid en is baie beter geveer. Ek weet nie hoeveel die Vivo Maxx van die Vivo verskil nie. Plus, die Etios lyk beter!

Net nou gou by Toyota gestop en gaan sit in die EtiosCross - onthou ek ry self n Etios ...

lyk na n "cosmetic excercise" ... maar dit lyk nogal "lekker" :)

lekker SPORTY maggs op ....

net te veel blink op die dash wat gaan weerkaats ...

o-ja, daai Toyota radio lyk goed.

MY raai - die launch prys gaan GOU opgestoot word !!!!!!!!!

SEKER dit sal goed verkoop !!

Well, we first heard of it on 11/7, first saw it in real life on 12/7, did the test drive and signed (immediately!) on 14/7, and picked it up on 16/7. Most impulsive buy we've ever made, but not at all regretful. What a joyful little car. Pictures to follow...

Grille. Made to look a bit like an SUV's nudge bar.

oxydog · Post by **oxydog** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 9:58 am

Hatch. I like the rear spoiler - makes her look mean (the car).

oxydog · Post by **oxydog** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 10:00 am

Side. My favourite angle. Looks like a hot hatch.

Now I'm wondering if somebody from Langebaan can get a snorkel for this?

The angle of the A pillar is very flat, none of the Hilux snorkels will fit.

It would look super cool with a snorkel.

Don't waste your money on those fancy OEM snorkels! Just DIY it!

Allan ek het mooi gaan kyk na die wa.

DIT is nou n "face lift" joppie as jy nou al ooit een gesien het !!

PRESIES die ou Etios, met n reeks plastiek panele reg rondom bygesit .... beslis nie elkeen se smaak nie. maar ek is oortuig dit gaan n groot mark trek .....

Andy, unfortunately not, otherwise we would definitely have considered it. Only the 1.5 petrol (which is like the Etios 1.5 XS hatch, but better looking

). But I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to start bringing it in if this one proves to be popular!

OK, ek gaan nie stry dat dit maar basies 'n face-lift is nie, maar moet darem nie die volgende vergeet nie (dit is nie standaard by die out Etios nie, afaik):

Side impact bars
Bluetooth, USB & aux in radio
15" rims (ou Etios is 14")
Revamped grille
Revamped headlights
Roof rails
Height adjustable driver's seat
Bonnet silencer panel

Absolutely. But you'll have to cut the arches a bit bigger first!

Ek het Mei 2013 gekoop - kon kies tussen die vorige mdel Etios of die huidige een ....

Ek het doelbewus die "ou" een gekies vir twee redes:
- die ou Etios het nie met n radio gekom nie, en ek wou n spesifieke BT radio insit ...
- die ou een het sagter suspensie ... met die toestand van ons paaie verkies ek n sagter rit, maar dit is slegs n persoonlike keuse.

die "nuwe" Etios het dieselfde ligte as die Cross, of dit lyk so.

JA, die Cross het n bakgat radio !!

side impact bars .... weet nie ...

van al die plastics het jy die belanrikste een vergeet - daai drukvlerk lyk regtig nice

hoop julle kry sulke goeie diens uit jul Etios soos my een my gee.
