The first thing that makes the Wigo a hit is its compact structure. While it is agile and easy to manoeuvre around the city, it makes parking in crunch places cakewalk for the driver whether experienced or amateur. As a driver, you don’t have to possess expert car parking skills because you’d be able to park it just right every single time.
A potent drivetrain under the hood that performs quite well. Aside from these, there are plenty of interior features and amenities that will impress you. This includes touchscreen infotainment system, multi-function steering wheel, ABS, dual-airbags and an array of storage spaces for stress-free travelling.
With satisfactory outside looks, the automaker has taken the style game to an altogether another level with the TRD variant. This variant comes with a TRD body kit that comprises of a front lip spoiler, TRD decals, side skirts, rear bumper extension with a diffuser and a rear chrome badge.
Being a cheap contender in the segment, the Wigo comes with less durable materials inside the cabin. The cabin lacks premium touch you’d expect from Toyota. Interestingly, there are no air bands for the windscreen and foot.
Fuel economy is below par considering the market standards. Expect it to yield around 9 -11kmpl in the city.
Toyota Wigo price starts from ₱557,000 for base variant 1.0 E MT available with DP as low as ₱111,400.00 and MA ₱11,414.00 (60) on 25 January 2020, while the top-spec variant 1.0 G AT costs ₱631,000 .

With the Wigo, Toyota has shown that it has the potential of making small entry-level hatchbacks which can cater to that segment which is tight on budget but has an aspiration of buying a set of four wheels for family purpose. The Wigo is the most affordable Toyota car in the Philippines, and is available in three different variants 1.0 E MT, 1.0 G MT, 1.0 G AT and six color options – Orange, Red, Black, White, Silver, and Grey.
On the inside, things for the Toyota Wigo seem even duller, with a very unattractive layout for the cabin. The car fails to generate a wow feel which a buyer from this generation would expect.
The very simple and staid looking three-spoke steering wheel, as well as the instrument console behind it, make up for a very uninspiring driver’s cockpit. However, the steering wheel comes with buttons for audio controls integrated on it. The center console too looks very dated with a boring and vertical layout, with separate and simple looking housing for AC levers. The presence of a simple touchscreen infotainment system, however, livens up things on the inside.
Apart from the aforementioned features, the Wigo lacks any other prominent comfort and convenience feature which fails to attract many buyers. However, despite its compact dimensions, space on the inside is really impressive.
With the Wigo, Toyota aimed at making a small city car which looked chic and smart to attract younger generation buyers more towards it. However, the final outcome has turned out to be a mixed bag.
At the front, the Wigo looks extremely eye-catching with a very busy yet funky design. The car has got a sleek chrome grille which ends on large headlamp assembly, which surprisingly gets projector units within them. To make the car look big when viewed head on, the front bumper comes with a very large inverted trapezoidal air dam and vertical housings for the fog lamps, which look very similar to that of the Toyota Vios sedan.
However, all that excitement vanishes a bit when you move towards the side profile. Except for the presence of machined alloy wheels, the rest of the design looks a bit bland, and the absence of pullback type door handles make it look cheap.
At the rear too, the design doesn’t look too trendy, with a very plain design for the rear hatch as well as vertical tail lamps on the outer edges. However, the roof spoiler at the rear somehow manages to liven up some things.
In Philippines, there are six Toyota Wigo colors available to choose from:
Thanks to compact dimensions and low kerb weight, the Wigo feels very responsive in tight traffic conditions. The agile handling and easy maneuverability of the Wigo makes it a great city car, and thanks to the plush suspension setup, the car feels pretty comfortable for long runs as well. The car runs on 14-inch wheels as standard.
Powering the little Toyota hatchback is a small 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, which also happens to be the smallest engine Toyota makes for its passenger cars. The engine, which is being offered with both the options of a 5-speed manual gearbox as well as a 4-speed automatic transmission, produces a maximum power output of 66PS and a peak torque output of 89Nm. The engine might feel a bit underpowered on paper, however, thanks to the low kerb weight of the Wigo, the overall performance feels lively enough.
Being a compact and entry-level city car, the Toyota Wigo might lack the presence of high-end safety features. However, the car packs in essentials like dual front airbags, ABS and engine immobilizer.
The Toyota Wigo generates a very strong impression of a modern city car when viewed head on from the outside. But a deeper introspection reveals the fact that Toyota has carried out a lot of cost cutting measures and has skipped on many features which could have made it a hit among millennials. Having said that, the car is easy to live with, thanks to fuss free mechanicals, easy handling and Toyota’s unquestionable after sales support and reliability.

We have owned the little Wigo for well over 2 years now so I have a fairly good idea about the car. What I can definitely say is that the car has been very reliable and comfortable to travel in. I do wish there were more features but I guess at this price point there is nothing much to complain
