Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is planning to phase out Etios sedan, Etios Cross, and Liva hatchback from the Indian market as the BSVI emission norms get implemented from April 2020.
Etios sedan and hatchback were launched at the 2010 Auto Expo, followed by Liva in 2011, with an aim of tapping the segment that has been the stronghold of Maruti Suzuki India and Hyundai Motor India.
High switchover cost and low volumes has forced Toyota to pull the plug on its budget car line-up. The Japanese carmaker is not likely to manufacture any model for its mass segment in India and is expected to source and rebadge Suzuki India's cars, the Business Standard reported.
