Our selection of Toyota Etios cars for sale is a new generation sub-compact vehicle that was released on the market in 2020. The well-known Japanese offering, manufactured in India, is available as a four-door sedan and a five-door hatch and a favourite in South Africa. Since its launch it has gone through minor evolutionary changes; imperceptible changes to the interior and fascia design as well as updated tail lamps.
The youngest generation (produced from 2017) is the latest one out there and remains one of the most popular small cars on the road. Our used Toyota Etios cars for sale is an entry-level offering more space and features than its smaller sibling the Aygo and is a popular fleet car. Following the design journey of the overall Toyota brand, the Etios’ design follows suit. Our Toyota Etios Sprint 1,5 cars for sale is especially handsome with a sportier look. The indented grille with black inlay and prominent badge, large air vents, a redesigned bumper, and fog lamps, updated bumper, and twin-spoke 15-inc alloy wheels, certainly adds a feeling of less-than-regular performance and style.
The Etios Sprint 1,5 is perhaps the best current example of what are available second hand and a good comparison. This model of the Etios only weighs 930kg and therefore always has enough power with the 5-speed manual transmission and 66kW engine.
The driving experience is comfortable and direct. The excellent Toyota suspension cushions passengers and cabin noise are at a minimum with extra soundproofing materials used inside. The central console cluster is entry-level (no touch screen here), but the 1,5 Sprint has a USB port, Bluetooth connectivity all very user-friendly. The 2017 Etios 1,5 Sprint has electric windows all round, a central locking button, and remote fuel and hatchback releases.
Interior space is as can be expected from a compact. Especially the hatchback is spacious enough in the front, and at the back is surprisingly roomy. The back seats are also fitted with headrests and three full safety belts. The hatchback’s back seats can fold down in a 60:40 split, which improves cargo loading ability.
Our selection of used Toyota Etios cars for sale is an ideal first car or entry-level small family vehicle (if you don’t mind the limited cargo space). With economic fuel consumption at 6 litres per 100km, no wonder the Etios is a favourite with fleets.
