In the domestic automobile market, there has always been a clear boundary between joint venture cars and domestic cars. Domestic cars have attracted many consumers at the price close to the people, while joint venture cars, especially German and Japanese cars, have been at a high price because of their early entry into China, good reputation and fuel economy. This makes many friends who want to buy a joint venture car call "can’t afford it".
But you know what? Now even joint venture car bosses like Toyota have begun to compromise! The protagonist we are going to talk about today is Toyota VIOS, a small car that once sold for as much as 150 thousand, but now it only costs more than 60 thousand. From 150 thousand to more than 60 thousand, this price contrast is too big! Is it exciting? Don’t worry, let’s see what this car is like first.
From the appearance, although Toyota VIOS is a small car, its face value is still good. The overall shape exudes the flavor of the Toyota family, which is small and exquisite but classic. The front face is designed to be eye-catching, and the large-mouth blackened net is equipped with headlights that open the corners of the eyes, which makes it highly recognizable when walking on the road. Although the side of the car body is not very atmospheric, it is short and lean, and the dynamic atmosphere is still obvious. The tail shape is more classic and durable, although there is no particularly eye-catching design, but the whole is still very harmonious.
However, the interior of Toyota VIOS is a bit shabby. After all, it has not been replaced for a long time, and the price is comparable to that of domestic cars. The materials and layout of the interior are relatively simple. The layout of the T-shaped center console is a bit bloated, surrounded by hard plastic, and there is no texture at all. For young consumers, such interiors may not be very friendly. However, the seat is wrapped in comfortable fabric and the ergonomic design is good, so it is quite comfortable to sit up.
In terms of technology, Toyota VIOS is equipped with a 9-inch floating central control panel, although it is not equipped with an LCD instrument panel. Although it doesn’t look good, its functions are quite complete. It supports Bluetooth, original factory interconnection, multimedia system, telephone and other functions, and it is no problem to meet daily driving needs. There is nothing to say about the configuration, after all, the price is there. The only thing that can be taken is the leather seat, but this is also a small bright spot.
In terms of space, although the size of Toyota VIOS is not large, the five-seat layout can still meet daily household needs. But if you have a particularly high demand for space, you may want to consider it. After all, this is a small car, and space is definitely not its strength.
But! Toyota VIOS has a very noteworthy advantage that it saves fuel! It perfectly inherits Toyota’s fuel-saving characteristics, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 5L. According to the current oil price conversion, one kilometer is only about 4 cents! This is simply too energy-saving! It’s perfect for home use!
In terms of power, Toyota VIOS comes standard with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The transmission system is matched with 5-speed manual and 8-speed CVT continuously variable gearbox. The maximum horsepower is 112 horses and the peak torque is 139 Nm. For this small car, the power is more than enough. Usually it’s no problem to drive in the city.
Generally speaking, although the interior and configuration of Toyota VIOS are somewhat moderate, its advantages are affordable, fuel-efficient and durable. If you just live at home, this car is very suitable. After all, more than 80 thousand automatic gears can be won now, which is still very cost-effective.
So, if you are interested in Toyota VIOS, you might as well take a test drive. Maybe this compact, fuel-efficient and durable car will become your new favorite! Ok, that’s all for today! Welcome everyone to leave a comment! See you next time!
