The company claims that it has received a good response for the ‘Etios Cross X-Edition’ and the ‘Fortuner TRD Sportivo’. The company further states that Etios Cross X-Edition which is loaded with new features and also gets a sporty and stylish look, was launched particularly for the festive season. The special edition model has also been a considerable contributor to the company’s overall sales growth in October. Toyota also claims that since there was no change in price post the hike in cess, there has been a slight improvement in sales for the Camry hybrid.
