The Toyota Vios (2007-2013)

Second generation (XP90; 2007–2013)

The new Vios is essentially a re-badged Belta sedan, which was launched in April 2007. The model code for cars with 1.5 litre 1NZ-FE engines is NCP93 and is only available where the Vios is marketed, including the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Thailand. As was the first generation Vios, the second generation Vios is assembled at Thailand's Toyota Gateway Plant and also at the Philippines Santa Rosa, Laguna Plant.

In the USA, Canada, the Middle East and Australia, it is marketed as the Yaris Sedan, replacing the Echo sedan, with production sourced from Japan. In Japan, it is named as Toyota Belta. The Vios is the top selling car in Southeast Asia in 2009.^[11]

The new Vios was designed for more comfort rather than handling. Interior is much upgraded with more convenience features, and flat rear floor.

In the Philippines, the second generation Vios was launched in 2008 in 3 versions: 1.3 J, 1.3 E and 1.5 G. All variants were available with a 5-speed manual transmission, the G variant also with a 4-speed automatic.

The 1.5 G Limited XX Edition was released in July 2008. This is the same as the G variant, but came with HID headlights, 17" 10-spoke alloy wheels and a small rubber spoiler. The 1.5 S also got this spoiler and different 17" Rota Bolognia Mags with 205/45 tires. The G XX Limited and S variants were released in different colour schemes.

A face-lifted model was launched on April 6, 2010, with a new front grille, new headlamp and tail lamp assemblies, and newly designed 15" alloy wheels (for the G grade). It was still available in three variants: the base 1.3 J mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, the 1.3 E, with the choice of a 5-speed manual or the now available 4-speed automatic transmission, and the 1.5 G, still with the choice of a 5 speed manual or 4 speed automatic transmission.

For 2012, a 1.3 litre engine for the G variant was released, and it was mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, then later a 5-speed manual transmission. Also available from 2012 was a variant lower than the J variant called the 1.3 Base which came only in a 5-speed manual transmission. In 2013, the 1.5 TRD Sportivo variant was released.

During its entire period on sale, the second generation Vios was the best selling car in the Philippines helping Toyota to maintain its status as the best selling brand in the country with a fairly large margin.

• Very Fuel Efficient Engine ( Chain Driven )
