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.

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.

Dit is so Tiaan. Ek moet egter sĂȘ: 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!

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...

The angle of the A pillar is very flat, none of the Hilux snorkels will fit.
It would look super cool with a snorkel.

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

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.
