The Toyota Vios is a subcompact car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Toyota, primarily for markets in the Asia-Pacific region since 2002.[1]

Along with the compact Corolla and mid-size Camry, the Vios serves as the replacement to the Tercel (marketed as Soluna in Thailand since 1997 and Indonesia since 2000), which filled the Asian subcompact or B-segment class in the region. The Vios is also successor to the entry-level variants of the E110 series Corolla in the Philippines, with the upmarket variant being catered to by the E120 model. From 2005, the Vios was also marketed alongside its hatchback complement known as the Yaris in many countries globally. 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 "go or travel (forward)".[3]

The first-generation Vios, codenamed XP40, 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, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan markets, the 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 (Chinese: 威驰; pinyin: Wēichí) 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 Vios was adapted from the Platz with modified body panels and portions of the car feature design cues from the E120 series 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 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 (designated XP150) for the Asian market was unveiled on March 25, 2013 at the 34th Bangkok International Motor Show in Thailand.[15] Toyota aimed to designate the third-generation Vios as a global model, for markets outside of Asia. The car was sold in Thailand shortly after,[16] and from the second quarter in Asia.

The exterior was enlarged, but keeping the same width as before. Its styling outline was later followed by the XP150 series Yaris hatchback 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.

In early 2018, the facelifted Yaris ATIV-based model was used in most markets instead of the facelifted Vios sold exclusively in China and Thailand. The Yaris ATIV-based model continued to be sold in markets outside of Asia as the Yaris sedan.[17]

The XP150 series Vios, otherwise would be known as the Yaris sedan, has not been offered in the United States,[18] Canada, South Africa, Australia[19] and New Zealand. The second-generation (XP90 model) sedan was sold in these countries as the Yaris, but it was dropped in late 2011 due to lackluster sales, with only the XP130 model 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 XP150 series Vios (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]

It is campaigned in One Make Races in Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand.[23]

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 pre-facelift XV70 series Camry. At the rear, the taillamps feature LED-type units with revised graphics and feature a thinner linking chrome boot lid bar. This facelifted model is exclusively available in Thailand and China.

In most Asian countries (excluding Japan and Hong Kong), the Yaris ATIV-based Vios was sold from 2018 as a facelift model and uses model codename NSP151. It is also offered in India, the Middle East and Latin American countries as the Yaris Sedan.

In the first 6 countries, the Vios is offered with the 1.5 L 2NR-FE engine, while in the last 3 countries, it only powered by the smaller 1.3 L 1NR-FE engine. Both engines are offered in the Philippines.

It is the first sedan model to be manufactured at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN).

Two trim levels were available; the 1.5 E and 1.5 G which powered by the 1.5 L 1NZ-FE engine, paired to either 5 speed manual or 4 speed automatic ECT. The more affordable E has drum rear brakes and 15 inch alloys, while the upmarket G comes with rear disc brakes and 16 inch alloys. The TRD Sportivo trim, which is based on the G trim, was launched in September 2014 at the 22nd Indonesia International Motor Show in Jakarta.

The Vios received an update on November 3, 2016 with the 1.5 L 2NR-FE engine option, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or CVT. The G and TRD received redesigned alloy wheels, and the trunk spoiler was only installed on the TRD Sportivo.

The facelifted Vios based on the Yaris ATIV was launched on April 3, 2018. The TRD Sportivo was discontinued, leaving only the E and G in the line up. All the locally-built models for the Indonesian market have Ivory colour interior. The top-of-the-line G has 16-inch alloy wheels, all around disc brakes, Daytime Running Lights (DRL), smart engine Start/Stop button, and automatic climate control AC. Paddle shift is exclusively for the G model with 7-speed simulated CVT.[54]

In early 2019, the price leading E variant with manual transmission was removed from the company website, however it returned to the line up in 2020. Domestic sales for Vios had dropped in the recent years, and most Vios assembled by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) were for export markets.[55]

China

The Vios in China was launched in November 2013 after its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show in April. The Vios is now only available in either 1.3 or 1.5 L engine variants with the higher end 1.6 L model dropped.[56] The Vios for the Chinese market will still be made locally by the FAW-Toyota joint venture that also made previous generations for Vios.

Both models are powered by newer Dual VVT-i engines 4NR-FE and 5NR-FE specially developed for the Chinese market.[57][58]

In 2016, a facelifted hatchback version of the third-generation Vios was launched exclusively in China by the FAW-Toyota joint venture. Based on the Yaris hatchback, it is known as the Vios FS (Chinese: 威驰FS; pinyin: Wēichí FS).[59] China also received the Vios-based Yaris L sedan. A 5-speed manual and CVT option are standard for both engines.

Taiwan

In Taiwan, the third-generation Vios was available from the second quarter of 2014. Three models have since been available in Classic, Elegant and Luxury variants. All models use the same 1.5 L 1NZ-FE engine from the previous model.

Additional features are available on top of the basic equipment in the premium variant which consists of a front/rear aero kit, smart entry system, engine push start button, smart climate control, multi-information display (MID) and piano lacquered trim.[60]

From the second quarter of 2016, the 1NZ-FE engine was replaced by the 2NR-FE engine and a CVT. The TPMS became standard also.[61]

In March 2018, the Yaris ATIV-based version with a refreshed exterior was launched. VSC, TRC and HAC became standard. The engine and transmission remain the same.[62]

Vietnam

The Vios was sold in Vietnam as the Vios E (5-speed manual), Vios E (CVT) and Vios G (CVT). All have the 1.5 L engine.[63]

The facelift based on the Yaris-ATIV sedan was also available in Vietnam, the trim levels available are carried over from the pre-facelift model.[citation needed]

The model is the best-selling car in Vietnam continuously from 2014 to 2018, with 67,787 cars sold during the period.[64]
