Toyota Vios impresses with its under the bonnet capabilities. The NR-series engine is touted to be economical and performance-oriented. The new resonator noodle ensures quietness inside the cabin. Additionally, wind and road noises have been kept under control.
The interiors render a pleasant look - well laid out dash and centre console, softer plastic panels and adequate storage spaces. The auto climate control makes drive joyous for not only front but rear passengers as well. Even on the hottest of days, the air conditioning works quite well.
Safety has been enhanced too. The steering on the Vios is a lot steadier and firmer than before. The suspension is good to bypass bumps and uneven surfaces. This ensures a comfortable driving experience. The Vios now features electronic stability control, hill start assist and ISOFIX child seat anchors as standard.
The A/C vent cupholders have been removed which served well on long routes. There is no front armrest. Back seats could have been comfier like in the case of Suzuki Ciaz and Honda City.

Introduced in the Philippines market as Toyota’s most affordable sedan right, the Vios is one complete and balanced package when it comes to every aspect of a traditional sedan – space, comfort, and performance. In the Philippines, the Toyota Vios is being offered with two engine options and nine different color options, namely Super Red, Grayish Blue, Freedom White, Alumina Jade, Blackish Red, Thermalyte, Pearl White, Red Mica, and Black.
Like the exterior design, the interior cabin layout too feels quite simple and no-nonsense, with the overall design appealable to a more mature set of buyers rather than young minds.
The steering wheel is the same three-spoke unit which we have already seen on the Corolla Altis, with the wheel coming with buttons for audio and Bluetooth controls. While the steering wheel lacks the flair, the instrument console behind it doesn’t, as it comes with a very unique positioning for MID screen.
Coming towards the center of the dashboard, the center console has a very conventional looking vertical layout, which looks quite plain. However, the presence of the 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, as well as a cool looking automatic climate control console, makes things a bit interesting to look at. The infotainment system also houses a reverse camera, along with audio supports for the 8-speaker equipped music system.
The Toyota Vios’ cabin might lack the contemporary flair seen on sedans these days, but then it is equipped with all the modern comfort and convenience features like black leather upholstery, push-button start with keyless entry, drive mode switch (ECO and SPORT modes), tilt adjustable steering wheel, electrically adjustable and foldable rear view mirrors, ambient lighting, rear AC vents, and height adjustable driver’s seat.
Another area where the Toyota Vios manages to bring a smile on your face is the amount of space it has on offer, with an ample amount of leg room and headroom for three full-sized adults.
The Toyota Vios is a good mix of sporty as well as sophisticated design elements in its entire design. The frontal stance of the Vios looks quite busy with a sleek chrome grille flanked by horizontally stretched headlamps, which come with projector units within them. The front bumper comes with a large trapezoidal air dam, which has a thin strip of daytime running LEDs at the upper corners.
Contrary to the aggressive front view of the Vios, the side profile is quite simple, with nice curves flowing from front to rear. The rear view of the car too looks a bit sober when compared to the front, with long and curvy tail lamps with LED elements in them.
Beneath the monocoque frame, the Toyota Vios has been blessed with McPherson Strut with Stabilizer at the front and Torsion Beam with Stabilizer at the rear. Matching the overall appeal of the car, the suspension has been softly tuned for cushy ride quality.
The Toyota Vios in the Philippines comes with two engine options under its hood. The smaller 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine produces a maximum power output of 100 PS and a peak torque output of 123 Nm. On the other hand, the bigger 1.5-litre four -cylinder petrol engine is slightly more powerful with a maximum power output of 108 PS and a peak torque output of 140 Nm. Both these engines are being offered with a 5-speed manual gearbox as well as a CVT gearbox.
Toyota has always been a pioneer of safety features, and the Vios follows the tradition as well. The car is equipped with features like seven airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, ISOFIX mounts for child seats, seat belt pretensioners with force limiters, Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill-start Assist Control, Front Digital Video Recorder and front and rear parking sensors.
With its very mature approach in each and every aspect, the Toyota Vios makes up for a great family car, but it lacks the zing which an enthusiast looks for. This entry-level Toyota sedan excels well in practical parameters like features, space and ride quality, which makes it a perfect choice for an average Joe.
