Chronology
PredecessorToyota Tercel/Soluna

Along with the compact Corolla and mid-size Camry, the Vios serves as the replacement to the Tercel (marketed as Soluna in Thailand since 1997 and Indonesia since 2000), which filled the Asian subcompact or B-segment class in the region. From 2005, the Vios was also marketed alongside its hatchback complement known as the Yaris in many countries globally. The second generation Vios is known as the Belta in Japan and Yaris sedan in the United States, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago,[2] Jamaica, the Middle East and Australia.

The "Vios" name is derived from the Latin word "vio", meaning "to move forward".[3]

The first generation Vios, codenamed XP40, was assembled in Thailand's Toyota Gateway Plant in Gateway City, Amphoe Plaeng Yao, Chachoengsao Province, as part of a cooperative project between Thai engineers and Toyota's Japanese designers.

In Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan markets, the first generation Vios is equipped with a 1.5 L 1NZ-FE engine with VVT-i. The smaller 1.3 L 2NZ-FE engine is offered in the Philippines. In China, the Vios comes with the 1.3 L 8A-FE and 1.5 L 5A-FE. Trim levels for Southeast Asian markets include J, E, G and S, while the DLX, GL, GLX and GLXi are offered in China.

The first generation Vios was adapted from the Platz with modified body panels and portions of the car feature design cues from the E120 series Corolla. Like the Vitz and Platz, the Vios features instrument panel mounted on the top center of the dashboard.

In September 2005,[1] the Vios received minor cosmetic changes to its exterior and interior for the 2006 model year. Updates included the front bumper, headlights and tail lights, redesigned alloy rims, speedometer dial design, and added a console box in the interior.

The first generation Vios was campaigned in the Touring Car Championships in Indonesia and One Make Races in Thailand.

Taxicab versions marketed in Indonesia have less equipment and is rebadged as the Limo. This is not to be confused with certain taxis with the same name in Thailand, which use Corollas.

The third generation Vios (designated XP150) for the Asian market was unveiled on March 25, 2013 at the 34th Bangkok International Motor Show in Thailand.[14] Toyota aimed to designate the third generation Vios as a global model, for markets outside of Asia. The car was sold in Thailand shortly after,[15] and from the second quarter in Asia.

The exterior was enlarged, but keeping the same width as before. Its styling outline was later followed by the XP150 series Yaris hatchback for the Southeast Asian market. The speedometer position is no longer mounted on the centre of the dashboard. The Yaris sedan is marketed in Africa, South America, Caribbean and the Middle East.

In early 2018, the Yaris ATIV-based Vios was used as a facelift model instead of the XP150 series-based facelifted Vios sold exclusively in China and Thailand. The Yaris ATIV-based Vios continued to be sold in markets outside of Asia as the Yaris sedan.[16]

The XP150 series Vios, otherwise would be known as the Yaris sedan, has not been offered in the United States,[17] Canada, South Africa, Australia[18] and New Zealand. The second generation (XP90 model) sedan was sold in these countries as the Yaris, but it was dropped in late 2011 due to lackluster sales, with only the XP130 model being offered from the 2012 model year.[19] Yaris sedans subsequently sold in North America from 2015 are based on the Mazda2 and produced for Toyota by Mazda.

In Mexico and certain South American countries, the XP150 series Vios (for global markets) was sold as the Yaris Sedán.[20] From early 2018, it has been replaced by a version of the facelifted Asian-market Yaris ATIV, marketed under the Yaris Sedán name as a lower-priced alternative to the more upmarket Mazda2-based Yaris R.[21]

It is campaigned in One Make Races in Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand.[22]

Markets

Thailand

The third generation Vios was launched in four trim levels: J, E, G and S. The J and E trims were offered in either manual or automatic transmission. A TRD Sportivo model was also introduced to the market.

Some additions include a push start system and smart entry, an Eco meter for the automatic models and automatic air conditioners with climate control for the G and S trims.

From 2016 in Thailand, the 1NZ-FE VVT-i engine was replaced by the flex-fuel 2NR-FBE 1.5 L Dual VVT-i engine. The four-speed automatic transmission was replaced with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with seven-speed mode. The five-speed manual was dropped from the lineup. The safety kit has been given an upgrade. VSC stability control on top of the usual ABS with EBD was added, and brake assist is now available across the range.[23]

An "Exclusive" version was introduced for 2016, to replace TRD Sportivo model. It includes redesigned 15-inch alloy wheels, a bodykit integrated with LED daytime running lights, black leather seats, piano black steering wheel and gearlever trim as well as a T-Connect infotainment system with a seven-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity. An option of White Crystal Pearl or Attitude Black Mica is only available for the Vios Exclusive.

The facelifted Vios was launched in Thailand on January 21, 2017. The car uses the same front fascia as Chinese market version (similar to the XV70 series Camry). The facelifted models features redesigned 15- and 16-inch alloy wheels.

Trim levels offered include J, E, G and S. These were later categorised as Entry, Mid, and High trim levels from 2018.

The Thai-market Vios is powered by the 2NR-FBE engine, and all models come with CVT and have standard TRC and VSC. The Mid and High models also come with rear disc brakes, rear view camera, LED Daytime Running Light (DRL). Smart entry and Start/Stop engine push button are for the top-of-the-line model.

The third generation Vios was launched for the Indonesian market on May 7, 2013 and initially it was imported from Thailand. Starting from December 2013, the Vios is assembled locally in Karawang, Indonesia to fulfill the local market, and also for export. It is the first sedan to be manufactured at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN).

Two trim levels were available; the 1.5 E and 1.5 G which powered by the 1.5 L 1NZ-FE engine, paired to either 5 speed manual or 4 speed automatic ECT. The more affordable E has drum rear brakes and 15 inch alloys, while the upmarket G comes with rear disc brakes and 16 inch alloys. The TRD Sportivo trim, which is based on the G trim, was launched in September 2014 at the 22nd Indonesia International Motor Show in Jakarta.

The Vios received an update on November 3, 2016 with the 1.5 L 2NR-FE engine option, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or CVT. The G and TRD received redesigned alloy wheels, and the trunk spoiler was only installed on the TRD Sportivo.

Additional features are available on top of the basic equipment in the premium variant which consists of a front/rear aero kit, smart entry system, engine push start button, smart climate control, multi-information display (MID) and piano lacquered trim.[53]

From the second quarter of 2016, the 1NZ-FE engine was replaced by the 2NR-FE engine and a CVT. The TPMS became standard also.[54]

In March 2018, the Yaris ATIV-based version with a refreshed exterior was launched. VSC, TRC and HAC became standard. The engine and transmission remain the same.[55]

Vietnam

The Vios was sold in Vietnam as the Vios E (5-speed manual), Vios E (CVT) and Vios G (CVT). All have the 1.5 L engine.[56]

The facelift based on the Yaris-ATIV sedan was also available in Vietnam, the trim levels available are carried over from the pre-facelift model.

The model is the best-selling car in Vietnam continuously from 2014 to 2018, with 67,787 cars sold during the period.[57]

The third generation facelifted Vios was unveiled at the April 2016 Auto China show. For the facelift model, there are projector headlamps with integrated LED light guides, a wider T-shaped grille and fog lamps shifted to the lower air-dam with vertical LED DRLs affixed on the bumper, similar to that of the XV70 series Camry. At the rear, the tail lamps feature LED-type units with revised graphics and feature a thinner linking chrome boot lid bar. The facelifted model based on the XP150 series Vios with restyled bumpers is exclusive to Thailand and China.

In most Asian countries (excluding Japan and Hong Kong), the Yaris ATIV-based Vios was sold from 2018 as a facelift model. The 1.5 L model is coded NSP151, and it is also offered in India, the Middle East and Latin American countries as the Yaris Sedan. It measures an additional 10mm in length and 30mm in width, bearing similarities in the body style and interior as with the Vios currently sold in China and Thailand. It receives added features such as 7 airbags, revised dashboard, speedometer design and convenience features such as the shifting of cup holders to reside behind the gearshift, door pockets for the rear doors, centre cabin lights, reverse camera mount, "Follow-Me Home" delayed headlight dimming and Blind Spot Monitoring for some markets for the last two features.

The Yaris ATIV-based Vios is sold in Singapore, Brunei, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia. In the first 6 countries, the Vios is offered with 1.5 L 2NR-FE engine, while in the last 3 countries, it only powered by the smaller 1.3 L 1NR-FE engine.

The Yaris ATIV-based Vios received a facelift in July 2020, first in the Philippines with revised bumpers with LED foglamps as standard. For the G grade, it received headlamp upgrades to LED dual lenses, the Daytime Running Lamp was shifted from the bumper to the headlamps and received gloss black foglamp inserts and gloss bottom grill fascia. Changes to the rest of the exterior and interior remained largely the same.[58]
