More about Toyota Vios
For those of you familiar with the Toyota Belta, the Vios should sound like a very familiar car. This 4 door subcompact sedan shares a lot of its features with the Toyota Yaris and the Toyota Belta with some minor differences.
The car was introduced in 2002 by Toyota as a replacement to the Tercel which was a popular car in Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
In 2005 the company expanded the reach of the car and brought in the Yaris variant which was the same car but with a hatchback for other markets in the Asia Pacific.
Currently, in its third generation, the car supports a 1.3 L 4NR-FE petrol engine with transmissions ranging from 5 speed to 7 speed in both automatic and manual forms.
It is not clear at what price point the car will be sold in Pakistan. But since it is replacing the Toyota Corolla GLi, expect the car to be in the same price range.
