I think the base variant should not even be considered. A vehicle without a power steering is just not justified at this price. Considering the G variant, it costs almost same as the Swift VXi. I would anyday prefer the Swift over it. I seriously think the Liva is overpriced. Also the interiors are too cheap. The only reason I see why people will buy this car is the Toyota brand.

Seems like Toyota’s marketing team has done it just right. In spite of the unexciting design of Liva, this hatchback has successfully achieved the bookings milestone of 1,005 across the country and that too within a couple of days. Surprising. No?

People will ignore a few disadvantages of the Liva and buy it cause the Toyota brand name certainly makes a difference.
+1 - it is toyota's brand value which is driving these cars' sales. Both Etios and Liva are not out of the box or innovative designs or great features, but because of the correct pricing and the image, sales are surging.

Sometime ago I saw a fantastic comparison on a social networking website. I'm attaching similar to that below. One is a 2005 Model (Suzuki Swift) and another is from 2011 (Etios Liva). You can easily get an idea which still looks fresh and much modern. With such dull designed products making way in, does it simply translates that we are moving way back words?

No comparison with Swift , even after all these years Swift is still one of the best looking stylish Hatches in our market. And also +1 to Umang , if Brio comes with an appropriate price tag then people will get behind Brio.
