Practical and reliable choice

The Toyota Etios has become a favourite among South African drivers looking for a reliable car that won’t break the bank. A 2017 model costs around R172,600 and comes with a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine, producing 66kW of power and 132Nm of torque. With a fuel consumption of about 6.0L/100km, it’s a fuel-efficient choice for everyday driving without making a hole in one's pocket.

Its affordability and low running costs make it ideal for budget-conscious buyers, including petrol attendants whose salaries may not allow for luxury vehicles. The Etios is well-known for being reliable and easy to maintain, making it a smart financial choice.

The Etios Sprint model adds stylish features like a redesigned bumper with large air dams, built-in fog lamps, a chrome-detailed grille, and 15-inch alloy wheels. Despite being budget-friendly, it performs well, going from 0-100kph in 11.3 seconds and reaching a top speed of 165kph.

For convenience, it comes with electric windows, Bluetooth for calls and music, remote fuel flap and hatchback release, and central locking. Owners also get peace of mind with a standard 3-year/100,000km warranty and a 2-year/30,000km service plan.
