The saloon version was launched in December 2010 and the hatchback version (with additional "Liva" and "Valco" suffixes in India and Indonesia respectively) followed in June 2011.{{cite web |url=http://www.indiancarsbikes.in/auto-news/toyota-etios-new-2011-liva-hatchback-sedan-car-launch-bangalore-23173/ |title=New 2011 Toyota Etios Sedan Car Model launched in Bangalore |first=Tushar |last=Kelshikar |website=Indian Cars Bikes |date=2010-12-01 |access-date=2014-06-21 |archive-date=14 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714194934/http://www.indiancarsbikes.in/auto-news/toyota-etios-new-2011-liva-hatchback-sedan-car-launch-bangalore-23173/ |url-status=dead }} The vehicle is built on the EFC platform.
The Etios has been produced in India (between 2010 and 2020), Brazil (since 2012, export only since 2021){{cite press release |url=http://www.etiostoyota.com.br |title=Toyota Etios |publisher=Toyota |location=Brazil |language=pt |access-date=2014-06-19}}{{Cite web |last=Redação |date=2023-04-01 |title=Carros produzidos no Brasil que não existem |url=https://www.autossegredos.com.br/materias-especiais-3/carros-produzidos-no-brasil-que-nao-existem/ |access-date=2023-04-08 |website=Autos Segredos |language=pt-BR}} and Indonesia (between 2013 and 2017).{{cite news |date=2013-03-15 |title=Etios Valco Resmi Diluncurkan di Indonesia |language=id |trans-title=Etios Valco Officially Launched in Indonesia |work=Sidomi |location=Indonesia |url=http://sidomi.com/170361/etios-valco-resmi-diluncurkan-di-indonesia/ |access-date=2018-12-28}} It has also been exported to other countries such as South Africa{{cite news |last=Balasubramanyam |first=K.R. |date=2012-07-17 |title=There is no stability in government policy: MD of Toyota Kirloskar |work=Business Today |location=India |url=http://businesstoday.intoday.in/story/toyota-kirloskar-managing-director-hiroshi-nakagawa-interview/1/186341.html |access-date=2014-06-19}} and several markets in the Americas.
The name Etios was derived from Greek word ethos, meaning 'spirit', 'character' and 'ideals'.{{cite press release|url=https://global.toyota/en/detail/324921|title=Toyota Launches For-India 'Etios' Compact Car|publisher=Toyota|location=Japan|date=2010-12-01|access-date=2022-12-06}} The Liva suffix was derived from the development concept phrase "live your life", while Valco was coined from terms value and comfort.{{Cite web|url=https://hai.grid.id/read/07351450/etios-valco-resmi-meluncur|title=Etios Valco Resmi Meluncur - Hai|website=hai.grid.id}}

Overview
The Etios Concept saloon with 1.5-litre petrol engine and Etios Concept hatchback with 1.2-litre petrol engine were unveiled in 10th Auto Expo automobile show in New Delhi.
During the development phase, the Etios was codenamed "EFC" (Entry Family Car).{{Cite web|title=Global Website {{!}} 75 Years of Toyota {{!}} Section 3.

Toyota invested $350 million building a second plant in India to produce the Etios, with an initial annual production capacity of around 100,000 vehicles.{{cite press release |url=http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/news/10/01/0105.html |title=Toyota Unveils Concept Version of New Compact Car for India |publisher=Toyota |location=Japan |date=2010-01-05 |access-date=2014-06-21}} The actual commercial production started in December 2010.

As of 2022, the Etios sedan has the largest boot in its segment in Argentina (562 litres).{{Cite web|url=https://autotest.com.ar/comparativos/fiat-cronos-vs-toyota-etios-diferencias/|title=Fiat Cronos vs Toyota Etios: 5 diferencias clave entre los sedanes|date=12 March 2022|website=Revista Auto Test Digital}} It is bigger than the one in the Toyota Corolla (470 litres).[https://cdn.motor1.com/pdf-files/ficha-tecnica-toyota-corolla-2022.pdf Toyota Corolla 2022] cdn.motor1.com/
Since its introduction, the Etios has been updated three times, in March 2013, November 2014 and September 2016. No changes to the overall design were made, but there were changes to the interiors, front fascia and taillamps.
Indian production stopped in March 2020 there as the Bharat Stage 6 went into effect in April. Since Toyota had no interest to upgrade the Etios to meet the updated emissions standards, it was replaced by the more upmarket XP150 series Yaris saloon and the Suzuki Baleno-based Glanza hatchback as Toyota's subcompact car offering in the country. The Etios was also discontinued in Brazil in April 2021 with 620,000 units made in Brazil up to March 2021.{{Cite web|url=https://motor1.uol.com.br/news/491776/toyota-etios-fim-vendas-brasil-confirmado/|title=Confirmado: Toyota Etios deixará de ser vendido no Brasil em abril|website=Motor1.com|accessdate=5 January 2024}}{{Cite web |title=Confirmado: Toyota Etios deixará de ser vendido no Brasil em abril |url=https://motor1.uol.com.br/news/491776/toyota-etios-fim-vendas-brasil-confirmado/ |access-date=2021-05-29 |website=Motor1.com |language=pt}} The production continues for export markets until mid-2023.{{Cite web |title=Toyota Etios sai de linha em definitivo e abre espaço para o Yaris Cross |url=https://motor1.uol.com.br/news/680175/toyota-etios-fim-linha-definitivo/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=Motor1.com |language=pt-br}} The XP150 series Yaris would assume the role of Toyota's entry-level car in the region.

Safety
The Indian-market Etios and Etios Liva come with an immobiliser and door ajar warning as standard across all trims with dual SRS airbags, ABS and EBD available only on the G+, V and VX trims. Without ABS, it had earned a 4-star adult occupant and 3-star child occupant safety rating from Global NCAP in 2016.[https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb4ea8933ae6c208c3dac41/t/6061a244741cbf1c80552648/1617011269483/SaferCarsForAfrica-RS-ToyotaEtios.pdf Safer cars for Africa]
