In recent months, the Indian market has seen the rise of a new segment – crossover. Three models, Toyota Etios Cross, Volkswagen Cross Polo and Fiat Avventura, are the leading cars in this segment. Experts have been surprised at the success and demand of these cars but upon introspection, it is not that surprising. Crossovers, in a way, are smaller versions of compact Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), which offer the same comfort level and sturdiness at a lower price. So let’s take a look at the technology aspects of Fiat Avventura and Toyota Etios Cross in order to determine which car is a better bet for buyers.
Fiat Avventura, typical of its manufacturer, has distinct style that is different from most cars in the market. It features a sturdy exterior and a well-equipped interior for enhancing convenience of passengers. As far as technology is concerned, it boasts of several advanced features, such as high-terrain gauge for better control and an audio system with automated volume adjustment. Safety is another aspect that has been focused on by Fiat as the manufacturer has provided airbags, sturdy back seats and smart headlamps for better vision.
Toyota Etios Cross has been specifically appreciated for its top class engine and performance. However, it comes with a large number of convenience and comfort features that make it a complete feature. Audio controls on steering wheels, tachometer and electrically adjustable ORVMs are the main features of this car that enhance user convenience. Though there is little to choose between the two cars, Fiat Avventura, marginally, pips Toyota Etios Cross when it comes to technology.
