There is no much change in the styling of the Liva when compared to the Etios sedan.

The Liva has some style elements that would be appreciated by the Indian crowd. A distinctive front grille with a smile line and sculpted surface enhances the road presence of the car. The styling of the car as mentioned earlier has been kept at its minimum, Toyota has gone extra lenghts to spruce up the car with side skirts, roof and bumper spoilers.

23 June, 2011 Japanese auto maker Toyota Kirloskar on Wednesday said that the much awaited premium hatch back Etios Liva will be launched this month on June 27 in Delhi. The company had earlier deferred the launch of the Etios Liva from April to June. The decision was taken to reduce the long waiting period for the Etios.
The concept vehicles of the Etios and Etios Liva were first unveiled at the Auto Expo last year in Delhi. The Liva will be Toyota’s foray into the highly popular hatchback segment, which currently accounts for 60 percent of the volumes. “The Etios has been well received in the market. We have delivered more than 20,000 cars as on date”.
“We have reduced the waiting period to less than one month by increasing production. We hope to get a good response for the Liva. Pricing details will be announced at the launch ,” said Sandeep Singh, DMD marketing, Toyota Kirloskar.
Keeping the target customer in mind, youthful and fun filled activities have been lined up as part of the marketing campaign. The TV ad campaign will feature music composed by the music maestro AR Rahman.
AR Rehman Brand Ambassador with Toyota Etios Hatchback "Liva"
Toyota has received high number of bookings for its new Etios Sedan; the company is considering to offer a unique way to tackle the customer who booked the sedan by giving them an option to shift to the company’s compact car Liva, which will be launched in the month of March 2011.
At the same time, the company is also considering to marginally increase the production of Etios to accommodate the rush.
According to sources, Toyota is worried that the seven to eight months’ waiting period for Etios may prompt customers to shift to rival brands. So, it is working on a plan to offer those with Etios bookings the option to go for the compact Liva, though details are still being worked out. It is not yet clear whether these people will get a priority in the delivery of the 1200cc petrol-engine Liva , which is likely to be priced around Rs 4 lakh.
The company is currently doing this to ensure that the customer will stay within the Toyota fold, while getting an option to cut down on their waiting periods. The company has already started delivering the Etios sedan earlier this month, and so far it has received bookings over 18500 units.
Toyota Kirloskar deputy MD (sales & marketing) Sandeep Singh said, “We are looking at various options, and a concrete plan is yet to be firmed up.”
Toyota plans to produce around 70000 units in the year 2011 between the Etios Sedan and Liva Hatch in 2011.
“Our manufacturing team is looking at this and a decision on enhancing production will be taken towards the end of February. However, if it happens, the increment in production may not be a major one. Whatever happens will be through improved efficiency and tweaking things here and there,” Singh said.
On the other side, the company is currently ramping up numbers at its plant and will start second-shift operation to meet the demand and the production will come to 200000 units annually though reaching this capacity will take time.
TKM targets to sell around 300000 to 350000 units by 2015.

If you thought 8,100 Etios sedans in 7 days was awesome. Wait till you here this: Toyota Kirloskar Motors (TKM) has registered a mind-boggling 12,000 orders for the Etios within just 15 days of the launch. That is nothing like we have heard before
On the launch, TKM set a target of 70,000 units for 2011. But at this rate the company will achieve that target in less than 3 months. These numbers sound even more huge when you take into consideration the fact that the production hasn’t even started and not a single car is on the road. It is supposed to begin on the 20th of this month at Toyota’s plant near Bangalore. The waiting list has already stretched to over 8 months! Book a car now and it will come in August next year.
These numbers are just too hard to believe. Who is buying this car? Are these really individuals or has the car entered the fleet market? Because make no mistake this is an IDEAL fleet car. It’s inexpensive, very spacious and crucially it’s economical. If it has entered the fleet market then that is so not the target customer of Toyota.
