Toyota PH trims down Vios roster

MANILA: Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has quietly trimmed down its Vios lineup.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What are the Toyota Vios trims that have been removed in the Philippines?

    The Toyota Vios trims that have been trimmed down in the Philippine market are the E and GR-S.
  • Why were the two trims removed in the lineup?

    The removal of the two variants are the result of Toyota Motor Philippines' “regular product lineup streamlining.”
  • As seen in the company website, the subcompact sedan now only has six variants that can be summed up in the following: JXE, XLE, and G.

    The J, XE, XLE options are all powered by 1.3-liter engines. On the other hand, 1.5-liter mills power the top-of-the-line G variations.

    With regards to their gearbox options, the entry-level option offers a five-speed slush box, the XLE and G can be had in either manual or continuous variable transmission (CVT), while the XE, solely in CVT.

    Wheel options vary from 14-inch steelies (found on the J and XE), to 15-inch (XLE) and 16-inch alloys (G).

    Those who follow the brand would notice that the E and the Gazoo Racing Sport (GR-S) variants have been taken down in the lineup.

    TMP Vice President for Marketing Service Elvin Luciano confirmed the removal of the two Vios variants in the local roster, saying that it is the result of the company’s “regular product lineup streamlining.”

    The Toyota Vios E (which comes in both manual and continuous variable transmission) is equipped with a 1.3-liter gasoline mill while the former crème-de la-crème GR-S variant comes with a 1.5-liter powertrain on a CVT.
