Toyota Corolla Altis & Etios Range Discontinued In India: What Will Cab Aggregators Choose?
Toyota has discontinued the Corolla Altis and the Etios range of models in the Indian market. All engines powering the aforementioned models have not been updated to meet BS6 emission standards by the company.

The Toyota Corolla (premium sedan), the Platinum Etios (compact-sedan), the Etios Liva (hatchback), and the Etios Cross (crossover-hatchback) models have been removed from the company's official website. As a result, the Toyota Glanza and the Yaris become the only hatchback and the entry-level sedan, respectively from the brand's Indian line-up.

The decision to discontinue the Corolla Altis from the brand's line-up could be because of low sales numbers registered by the premium sedan. The Etios sedan and hatchback models in the line-up was a popular choice among fleet and cab aggregators because of its low maintenance and reliable engines.

While we wonder what the cab and fleet aggregators will choose next as their ideal hatchback or sedan, here is a quick lowdown on all the models that have been discontinued by Toyota.

Toyota
Etios
Liva
Toyota
Etios
Liva
was
the
entry-level
hatchback
in
the
company's
line-up.
The
Etios
Liva
was
available
in
two
engine
options:
a
1.2-litre
petrol
engine
producing
79bhp
and
104Nm
of
torque;
and
a
1.4-litre
turbo-diesel
unit
producing
67bhp
and
170Nm
of
torque.
Both
engines
came
mated
to
a
standard
five-speed
manual
gearbox.

Both engines have not been carried forward by the company to meet the BS6 emission standards. Toyota Etios Liva rivaled the Maruti Suzuki Swift and the Ford Figo; among others.

Toyota
Etios
Cross
Toyota
Etios
Cross
was
a
crossover
version
of
the
Liva
hatchback.
Apart
from
the
1.2-litre
petrol
and
the
1.4-litre
diesel,
the
crossover-hatchback
was
also
offered
with
a
1.5-litre
petrol
engine
producing
89bhp
and
132Nm
of
torque.
All
engines
came
mated
to
a
standard
five-speed
manual
gearbox.

The crossover-hatchback featured chunky body claddings, faux skid plates, and roof rails over the standard model. There were subtle changes on the inside of the Etios Cross as well.

Toyota
Platinum
Etios
Toyota
Platinum
Etios
compact-sedan
offered
a
comfortable
ride
and
was
ideal
for
private
and
commercial
use.
The
Etios
sedan
was
offered
with
a
1.4-litre
turbo-diesel
unit
producing
67bhp
and
170Nm
of
torque,
and
a
1.5-litre
petrol
engine
producing
89bhp
and
132Nm
of
torque.
Both
engines
came
mated
to
a
standard
five-speed
manual
gearbox.

Whether the company will bring back the Etios sedan powered by the same 1.5-litre petrol engine as the one on the Yaris is yet to be seen.

Toyota
Corolla
Altis
Toyota
Corolla
Altis
was
a
premium
sedan
offering
from
the
company.
The
Corolla
model
was
on
sale
in
the
Indian
market
for
a
long
time.
However,
Toyota
has
pulled
the
plug
and
will
not
carry
it
forward
to
make
it
BS6
compliant.
The
decision
could
be
due
to
the
low
demand
of
C-segment
cars
in
India,
as
buyers
in
the
price
bracket
now
prefer
to
buy
an
SUV
instead
of.

The Toyota Corolla Altis was offered with two engine options: a 1.4-litre turbo-diesel producing 87bhp and 205Nm of torque, and a 1.8-litre petrol producing 138bhp and 173Nm of torque. Both engines came mated to a standard six-speed gearbox, with an optional automatic on the petrol variants.

Thoughts About The Toyota Corolla Altis & Etios Range Discontinued In India
We will surely miss these cars as they were among a set of low-maintenance cars that offered unmatched reliability as far as engines were concerned. The Toyota Corolla was one among the popular cars in the premium sedan segment, however, the demand for the model has dropped substantially. While Toyota have removed their models (Etios range) for commercial use Maruti Suzuki have increased their presence by adding more models to its ‘Tour' range which is targeted towards cab aggregators.
