Ask any Pinoy car enthusiast, and you will definitely be amazed at how almost unanimous the Toyota Vios is as their choice for the most popular car. Its trump cards are of the most appealing to us Pinoy car lovers notable reliability, decent cabin space, tried and tested engine durability, good resale value and more. For the 2014 edition, a new more aggressively handsome look sums it all up real good.

The Vios gets the nods and thumb-ups from the media, not just due to its overall good design and superb reliability, but also because of its very affordable price of just P592,000 for the base model, making it a top choice for our country’s taxi business sectors.

Exterior :

The Toyota Vios embodies the design that we first saw on the Corolla Furia concept car (consequently becoming the American spec Corolla sedan). It gets the same grille as the India spec Corolla but with a wide open air intake which has been surrounded by an octagonal grille. The side profile of the Vios has been made to look sporty and thanks to this pedigree it gets a strong shoulder line which has a forward leaning stance.

The Vios also gets flared wheel arches and a strong baseline which in turn works with the flared wheel arches to give the sedan sporty credentials. Toyota has made the rear of the Vios very similar to that of the 2014 Toyota Corolla. It gets large wrap around tail lamps and a large chrome strip running across the length of the booth in a bid to boost the premium appeal of the car.

Interior :

The Vios gets very similar interiors to those of the 2014 Corolla both in terms of design and feature list. The design combination is a two-tone style with beige and black being the main colours. Toyota has fashioned the plastics in silver to contrast with the beige and black combination. Standard features include climate control (on the higher variants), 2-DIN music system, steering mounted audio controls and for the Indian market and an AC vent for the rear seat.
