Often the choice of first-time car buyers, the Toyota Wigo is an entry point into a brand steeped in history that has made a name for itself in terms of reliability. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What powers the Toyota Wigo?

    The Toyota Wigo is powered by a 998 cubic centimeter engine mated to a CVT.
  • How much is the Toyota Wigo?

    The Toyota Wigo is priced from P609,000 to P729,000.
  • That said, the compact hatchback has been on the top three lists of those looking to purchase their first rides and those who want a fuel-efficient car to drive around the city.

    On that note, we take a quick look at the three available grades of the Toyota Wigo here in the Philippines, to help those looking to drive home the nameplate make a better decision in choosing what trim best suits their budget and motoring needs. 

    First, let’s check its dimensions: 

    Overall length (in mm)

    3,760

    Overall width (in mm)

    1,665

    Overall height (in mm)

    1,515

    Wheelbase (in mm) 

    2,535

    Ground clearance (in mm)

    160

     

    The Toyota Wigo’s size is suitable for city driving, allowing drivers to easily squeeze through tight metro traffic or quickly get in and out of packed parking lots. 

    It also has decent ground clearance, but not as high as other nameplates like the Suzuki S-Presso

    All three variants share the same measurements. 

    J MT

    Serving as the base variant of the Toyota Wigo is the J trim with a manual transmission system

    At the fore is an aggressive-looking fascia with a big grille. Dividing the two sections of its latticework (with horizontal slats) is a block of plastic, which holds the number plate. Flanking the aforementioned are split-type LED headlamps with the LED fog lamps housed further on the cheeks of the hatchback. 

    Onto its sides are sharp bodylines along with body-colored side mirrors and door handles, black B-pillars, and a set of 14-inch silver wheels wrapped in 175/65 series tires.

    The rear end dons a large rear glass, a pair of combination lamps, and a hydraulically-assisted hatch. 

    Overall, the exterior of the Toyota Wigo J MT is modest but gives owners a decent-looking car that they can be proud of. 

    Here are its other notable appointments: 

    Clearance lamps

    With line guides

    Side mirrors

    Manual-adjust, manual-fold

    Windshield wiper

    Intermittent (front)

    Antenna

    Pole-type

     

    Inside, the Toyota Wigo’s base model comes with adequate amenities. The seats, for example, are upholstered in fabric. And while they are finished in cloth, they are equipped with decent bolstering and can keep the driver as well as the front passenger in place during high-speed driving situations.

    Additionally, the cabin has plenty of hard plastics. These interior trims are durable and easy to clean, making it a practical choice for a car that will be used as a daily driver. 

    Further, the driver gets to grip a black plastic steering wheel and is faced with an analog meter cluster. It is complemented by a 1DIN radio with Bluetooth and USB connectivity as well as AM and FM bands. 

    While some might say the Toyota Wigo J MT’s cabin might be crude, its features can prove to be sufficient for the basic needs of most Filipino motorists. 

    Below are some of its amenities: 

    Front seat adjustment

    Four-way manual

    Rear seat adjustment

    Fold down

    Inside rearview mirror

    Day and night

    Cup holders

    Three

    Bottle holders

    Four

    Power steering type

    Electronic power steering

    Ignition system

    Rotary

    Power windows

    With

    Power doorlocks

    With

    Air conditioning system

    Manual climate control

    Speakers

    Two

     

    Under the hood of the Toyota Wigo is a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder gasoline powerplant mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

    Per Toyota Motor Philippines, the said setup makes 66 horsepower and 89 Newton-meters of torque. The above numbers are good enough for roaming around the city as well as for taking on spontaneous weekend adventures outside the metro. 

    Safety-wise, the lowest variant of the Toyota Wigo still offers some decent technology. Listed below are some of the features that come with the J MT grade: 

    • Airbags
    • Seatbelts
    • ISOFIX tethers
    • Immobilizer
    • Anti-lock braking
    • Vehicle stability control
    • Hill-start assist control

    The Toyota Wigo J MT comes with a very affordable price tag of P609,000. 

    E CVT 

    Moving up the variant hierarchy, the Toyota Wigo E CVT offers would-be owners an upgraded experience. 

    It does build on the package the Toyota Wigo J MT offers but comes with features that are geared towards comfort and convenience. As an example, the intermittent wiper now comes with a reverse link function. 

    Also, the variant gives drivers a keyless entry function and audio switches to the steering wheel.

    Most importantly, the Toyota Wigo E CVT is equipped with an eight-inch infotainment system with Apple Carplay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, USB, and is voice command capable. 

    It shares the powerplant specifications as the base level model but gets a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The absence of a third pedal and a stick shift could reduce the “one-with-the-machine” experience, but can overall make one’s commute easier.

    No longer will drivers have to time gear changes and getting stuck in an upward slope will no longer be a problem. 

    Suspension-wise, this variant (as well as its siblings) use the below setup: 

    Front brakes

    Ventilated discs

    Rear brakes

    Drums

    Front suspension

    Mac Pherson strut

    Rear suspension

    Torsion beam

     

    The Toyota Wigo E CVT also gains advanced driver-assist features in the form of two rear sensors, which will prove to be useful when moving in and out of tight parking spaces. 

    Enjoying the aforementioned amenities merit additional costs. That said, the Toyota Wigo E CVT costs P684,000. 

    G CVT 

    Finally, the range-topping Toyota Wigo G CVT comes with all the bells and whistles that the carmaker can afford to put in its compact hatchback. 

    Let’s start off with some aesthetic upgrades: 

    High-mount strop lamp

    LED

    Side turn signal lamp

    With

    Side mirrors

    Power-adjust, power-fold

    Rear spoiler

    With

     

    Of course, it still gets some of the notable features offered by the mid-level grade model like LED headlamps, a windshield wiper with intermittent and reverse link function, and 14-inch wheels.

    Inside, the top-of-the-line variant gets a keyless and smart entry function, a push start button, and a digital manual climate control unit. In addition, the aforementioned eight-inch floating infotainment unit now has four speakers to blast audio with. 

    The powertrain setup remains the same with a 1-liter gasoline-fed engine with a CVT. Here, drivers can enjoy the best of both worlds with the engine and transmission combo being as convenient as it is fuel-efficient. 

    In terms of safety, the Toyota Wigo G CVT gets the below important upgrades: 

    • Alarm, immobilizer
    • Digital video recorder
    • Rear camera

    The Toyota Wigo G CVT will set customers back some P729,000.
