New funky Etios Sport arrives at McCarthy Toyota

Toyota SA has added a new Etios derivative to this popular budget car’s line-up.

The Etios Sport is a new limited edition model boasting a funky look.

Special additions for the Etios Sport include a two-tone paint job, rear spoiler, special 15-inch alloy wheels and a digital rev-counter.

Not to mention the new Sport badge plonked on the rear.
