Engine and Transmission
The Toyota Etios will step in India in sedan and hatchback variants. The sedan will be powered by a 1.2 litre petrol DOHC 16 valve petrol engine while the hatchback might be loaded with 1.5 litre DHOC 16 valve petrol mill. The 1.2L petrol engine is supposed to belts out 80 bhp of maximum power whereas the 1.5L petrol engine is believed to churn over 100 bhp of peak power. Both engines will be equipped with dual camshaft and four valves per cylinder which ensure increased power and torque with better fuel efficiency. However, Variable Valve Timing (VVTi) would be missing. This is probably to keep the Toyota Etios price low. Here it is to be mentioned that the company has done enough home work to make the engine powerful and fuel efficient which is supposed to be less due to absence of VVTi. For the same, the engine has been upgraded with latest technologies that ensure less power loss. The engine of Toyota Etios are packed with standard pistons which might come with molybdenum coating. Initially, the car will be available in petrol variant only and diesel engine plans are not in the focus. As per the details available at Toyota Etios
