Thoughts About The Toyota Vios For India

The Toyota Vios sedan will be positioned below the Corolla Altis but will sit above the Etios. The Toyota Vios launch in India is set for April 2018 and is expected to offer stiff competition to its rivals with better equipment and features.

Also, most of its competitors are half way through the life cycle, and the Vios will have an advantage as an updated model for car buyers in India. Also with Toyota's penchant for quality, the Vios is expected to be a robust sedan with premium features and equipment.
