Toyota Vios 2023 Philippines

After releasing a quick teaser video, Toyota Thailand has officially launched the 2023 Toyota Yaris Ativ: the local equivalent to the Toyota Vios. It comes with a brand new look, which takes design cues from its bigger siblings the Corolla and Camry, and comes with a new set of features as well.

As it now takes after its bigger siblings, the new Vios (Yaris Ativ) comes with a sportier design to it inside and out. It now sports the brand’s new “Proudful” design language which gives it fastback-like styling. This is further complemented by its new face that comes with sleeker headlights, a new large grille, a larger lower air intake, and a new bumper with faux side intakes to give it a more sporty look. If it isn’t obvious by now, it's apparent that the new Vios is taking a few design cues from its bigger brother the Corolla Altis and Camry which isn’t a bad thing as it combines sporty and premium in a good way.

At the rear, the new Vios gets a new set of LED taillights, broader shoulder lines, and a new trunk lid with a ducktail spoiler for higher models. This is where the Camry aspect comes in in its design thanks to the shape of the lights and the overall design of the rear of the sedan. Topping things off is a set of diamond-cut alloy wheels, with a new belt line that runs the entire length of the sedan. 

Interior and tech

On the inside, it's a minimalist design for the new Toyota Vios with a similar layout to the Toyota Raize. On higher variants, the sedan gets a new digital instrument cluster, a massive free-standing touchscreen that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an automatic climate control panel, a push-start button and audio controls for the steering wheel. It also comes with 64-color ambient LED lighting, a premium 6-speaker sound system, rear air vents, and rear USB charging ports.

In terms of sizing the sedan measures 4425mm long, 1740mm wide, 1480mm tall, and has a 2620mm wheelbase. Compared to the current Vios we get, the all-new model is 17mm shorter in length, 10mm wider, and 5mm taller. Even with the new platform, the Japanese automaker was able to give the Vios a slightly longer wheelbase than before. Its wheelbase is now 70mm longer.

Power

As for what is under the hood, the Toyota Yaris Ativ is powered by a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine that makes 93hp and 110 Nm of torque. Power is still being sent to the front wheels via a CVT. However, we suspect that once it does arrive in the Philippine market, it will still retain the 1.3 and 1.5-liter gasoline engine options.

Safety

Safety has been improved with the new Toyota Vios as it now comes with Toyota Safety Sense. This gives it access to features such as a pre-collision system, lane-departure alert, front departure alert, pedal misoperation control, auto high-beam function, and rear-cross traffic alert.

There is no word yet as to when Toyota Philippines will launch the new Vios locally, however, we suspect it could happen in a couple of months' time or by early 2023.

What's new with Toyota Vios 2023 launched in the Philippines?

1. Younger, stronger appearance

Compared to its predecessor, which has been on the market for 3 years, Toyota Vios 2023 has a new youthful and stronger appearance thanks to tweaking some details. As a life-saving upgrade, it is understandable that Vios has not been completely renovated.

The biggest change in the upgrade of Vios 2023 focuses on the front of the car. Specifically, the Vios 2023 has a more angular design thanks to the enlarged steering wheel. The fog lamp sockets are reshaped in the form of fish gills very much like the Toyota Corolla Altis 2023. The most notable change is the new 2-tone color wheels for a sportier look.

Particularly for the most advanced G version, the headlights are applied with modern LED technology with a modern new layered structure. Comes with a sharp L-shaped strip of demi lights.

3. Utilities Upgrade

Toyota Vios 2023 high-end G version received the most upgrades at this launch. Specifically include:

  • Reverse camera

Contrary to previous rumors, Vios 2023 will continue to have 2 old engine options including 1.5L DOHC and 1.3L DOHC. These 2 machines are capable of producing a capacity of 98-106 horsepower, maximum torque of 123-106 Nm. Comes with 2 options of CVT stepless automatic or 5-speed manual. Combined with the default front-wheel drive system.

5. Added 2 new safety features

In terms of safety, all versions of Toyota Vios 2023 cars are added with 2 new features including:

  • VSC body stabilization: helps minimize wheel slip by braking each wheel independently when combined with ABS anti-lock braking system.
  • Support for steep departures: for new drivers or women, the situations of stopping and starting uphill will no longer be too stressful.

Therefore, as soon as the driver releases the brake pedal, this system will automatically intervene the braking force at the wheels in 2-3 seconds. Thereby helping the car not to slip and giving customers more time to move the car forward.

Conclusion

The new generation Toyota Vios 2023 with a revolutionary change deserves to be the most prominent B-class sedan in the current segment. This model will pose a big challenge to rivals such as Honda City, Nissan Almera, and Hyundai Accent.
