The main reason behind the slow response is that the car is available in the market only in the petrol variant. And the increase in the fuel prices in the country has already affected the sales of the petrol cars in the past few months. Toyota earlier said that for the city dwellers who drives less than 2,500 km the petrol variant of the car is the best option. The company has launched this Toyota Liva in limited variants as they do not want to put much pressure on their new production line. Its for sure that the ifToyota Etios Liva Diesel variant is also launched in the market the the company will not be able to level the demand with its production.

It is declared by the company that the Liva will soon come to the market as they are all set with the diesel technology, but nothing could be said until the announcement is being made regarding this diesel variant of Toyota Etio Liva. At present the main focus of Toyota Motors will be on their most popular SUV New Toyota Innova. The car is expected to be launched by mid 2012. The existing model of the Toyota Innova has done a great business in the market and helped the company to maintain their position in the Indian Automobile sector.
