Predecessor | Toyota Tercel/Soluna |
The Toyota Vios is a subcompact car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Toyota, primarily for emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region.
Introduced in 2002,[1] the Vios serves as the replacement to the Tercel (marketed as Soluna in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore), which filled the Asian subcompact or B-segment class, below the Corolla and Camry that are also sold in the region. Beginning 2005, the Vios was also marketed alongside its hatchback complement, the Yaris in most Asia-Pacific countries. The second generation Vios is known as the Belta in Japan and Yaris sedan in the United States, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago,[2] Jamaica, the Middle East and Australia.
The "Vios" name is derived from the Latin word "vio", meaning "to move forward".[3]

The first generation Vios, codenamed XP40 ("NCP42" when paired with 1NZ-FE engine), was assembled in Thailand's Toyota Gateway Plant in Gateway City, Amphoe Plaeng Yao, Chachoengsao Province, as part of a cooperative project between Thai engineers and Toyota's Japanese designers.
In Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan markets, the first generation Vios is equipped with a 1.5 L 1NZ-FE engine with VVT-i. The smaller 1.3 L 2NZ-FE engine is offered in the Philippines. In China, the Vios comes with the 1.3 L 8A-FE and 1.5 L 5A-FE. Trim levels for Southeast Asian markets include J, E, G and S, while the DLX, GL, GLX and GLXi are offered in China.
The first generation Vios was adapted from the Platz with modified body panels and portions of the car feature design cues from the E120 Corolla. Like the Vitz and Platz, the Vios features instrument panel mounted on the top center of the dashboard.
In September 2005,[1] the Vios received minor cosmetic changes to its exterior and interior for the 2006 model year. Updates included the front bumper, headlights and tail lights, redesigned alloy rims, speedometer dial design, and added a console box in the interior.
The first generation Vios was campaigned in the Touring Car Championships in Indonesia and One Make Races in Thailand.
Taxicab versions marketed in Indonesia have less equipment and is rebadged as the Limo. This is not to be confused with certain taxis with the same name in Thailand, which use Corollas.

The third generation Vios codenamed "XP150" ("NCP150" when paired with 1NZ-FE engine) for the Asian market was unveiled on March 25, 2013 at the 34th Bangkok International Motor Show in Thailand.[14] Toyota aimed to export the third generation Vios as a global model. The car was sold in Thailand shortly after,[15] and from the second quarter in Asia. Toyota Motor Philippines announced that the local variant of the Vios will be manufactured in Santa Rosa, Laguna.[16]
The exterior was enlarged, but keeping the same width as before. It follows the styling of the Toyota Yaris for the Southeast Asian market. The speedometer position is no longer mounted on the centre of the dashboard. The Yaris sedan is marketed in Africa, South America, Caribbean and the Middle East.
It is campaigned in One Make Races in Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand.[17]
In certain Southeast Asian countries, Toyota also offered a sporty Vios TRD Sportivo model with full body kit, Sportivo decals along the doors and Sportivo trunk emblem. The Malaysian and Thai versions also comes with black interior and different alloy wheels, while the Indonesian-spec retains the beige interior of the G trim which is based on.
In early 2018, the Yaris ATIV-based Vios was available as a facelift instead of the XP150-based facelifted Vios sold exclusively in China and Thailand. The Yaris ATIV-based Vios expected to be sold as a global model, is currently sold in most Asian countries as a 2018 model. The facelifted Vios-based Yaris ATIV has a more differentiated styling.
The XP150 has not been offered in the United States,[18] Canada, South Africa, Australia[19] and New Zealand. The second generation sedan (XP90) was sold in these countries as the Yaris, but it was dropped in late 2011 due to lackluster sales, with only the hatchback (XP130) being offered from the 2012 model year.[20] Yaris sedans subsequently sold in North America from 2015 are based on the Mazda2 and produced for Toyota by Mazda.
In Mexico and certain South American countries, the Vios XP150 (for global markets) was sold as the Yaris Sedán.[21] From early 2018, it has been replaced by a version of the facelifted Asian-market Yaris ATIV, marketed under the Yaris Sedán name as a lower-priced alternative to the more upmarket Mazda2-based Yaris R.[22]
Markets

The third generation facelift model Vios was unveiled at the April 2016 Auto China show. For the facelift model, there are projector headlamps with integrated LED light guides, a wider T-shaped grille and fog lamps shifted to the lower air-dam with vertical LED DRLs affixed on the bumper, similar to that of the XV70 Camry. At the rear, the tail lamps feature LED-type units with revised graphics and feature a thinner linking chrome boot lid bar. The facelifted model based on the XP150 Vios with restyled bumpers is exclusive to Thailand and China.
The Thai-market Vios is powered by the 2NR-FBE engine, and offered in 3 trim levels called Entry, Mid and High. All models come with CVT and have standard TRC and VSC. The Mid and High models also come with rear disc brakes, rear view camera, LED Daytime Running Light (DRL) and alloy wheels. Smart entry and Start/Stop engine push button are for the top-of-the-line model.
