Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) officially unveiled the 2020 update of its best-selling, locally made passenger car – the Toyota Vios.
First launched in 2003, the new Vios comes at the forefront of TMP’s drive to lead the resurgence of the local auto industry by responding to the Filipinos’ need for quality, efficient, and safe mode of transportation.
Introduced in an online launch program on July 25. 2020, the new Vios is expected to continue its streak as the Philippine’s top-selling car – a record it has held for more than a decade. As a testament to how important the Philippine market is to the brand and the nameplate, the Philippines was the first to launch and sell the refreshed model in the world.
“You can count on TMP to stay true to our promise of making the world’s best Vios, and in the process, helping the economy, and providing livelihood to thousands of Filipino families,” said TMP President Atsuhiro Okamoto during his remarks, pertaining to the local production of the Vios in TMP’s Santa Rosa, Laguna manufacturing plant.
“With the new Vios, we have once again reinvented the Filipino’s most preferred car. With its upgraded design and new features, we can truly expect the New Vios to LEVEL UP YOUR DRIVE!” he added.
The new Vios lineup boasts improvements on its looks and features across 9 available variants – G CVT and M/T, E CVT and M/T, XLE CVT, and M/T, XE CVT, and J and J Base in M/T.
