As a classic model specially built for the Asian market, Toyota VIOS is a model with a long history. With its low fuel consumption and low price, it has also occupied a place in the small car market with domestic cars. However, with the arrival of the National Sixth, Toyota VIOS, which has not changed its model for three years, now has a certain preferential price range, and the starting price has dropped by 60,000, which has made the car very hot in recent months. In May, many netizens said that Toyota VIOS was a very good choice as a coach car, so let's take a look at the strength of this car.
First of all, in terms of space, although Toyota VIOS is an entry-level small model, due to the platform architecture based on NBC, the body size has almost reached the level of compact models. The overall parameters of the car are 4420* 1700* 1490mm, and the wheelbase is 2550mm, which is much better than the Honda Fit parameters of 4096* 1695* 1525mm and the wheelbase is 2530mm, and the actual performance is also better than the Fit.
If the driver of 1.78m sits in the front row, the leg space will not be crowded, and there are still four fingers left in the head space. The space in the back row is not as good as in the front row. There are only two fingers left in the head space and one punch left in the leg space, but there is basically no protrusion in the back row. Coupled with Toyota's humanized thin seats, three people in the back row will not feel crowded. The storage space in the car is also very rich. The high-end version also has an electric sunroof, plus a trunk with a capacity of 506L L. The rear row can be laid down at 6:4 to increase storage space, and daily travel is no problem. The space performance of Toyota VIOS is much better than Fit, which is very close to some compact models.
Toyota's models have always been known for their durability and have not been sloppy in terms of safety. As a small car, the safety configuration of Toyota VIOS is also very kind in the same class. The body adopts Toyota's GOA body, and the rigidity is still very good. SRS airbags and ELR three-point seat belts are also used in the front and side, and WIL concept seats are also used in the seats, which can fully reduce neck injuries. There is also an ISO-FIX standard child seat fixing position in the back row. In addition to these passive safety configurations, the car also has a series of main safety configurations, such as VSC body stability control system, ABS braking anti-lock system, EBD electronic braking force distribution control, high braking performance braking system, BA braking auxiliary system and so on, which can be said to be safer than Fit.
In terms of power, Toyota VIOS also inherited Toyota's consistent fuel-saving characteristics. According to different configurations, the car is equipped with two sets of powertrains, which are divided into a low version 1.3L and a medium-high version1.5l. The low version adopts dual VVT-i technology of 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, intelligent adjustment technology and matched with a 5MT manual gearbox (equipped with CVT continuously variable gearbox). The maximum power is 73kW(99ps) and the maximum torque123n.m. Although the power is not as good as Fit, it is no problem to meet the daily traffic demand. In addition, with Toyota's intelligent fuel-saving start-stop system, the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 5L, which makes the fuel economy of Toyota VIOS much better than Fit.
Generally speaking, Toyota VIOS, as the cheapest sedan model in Toyota, is the top level in the field of small cars. Coupled with the current price of 60 thousand yuan and very good fuel economy, it is also a very good choice as a daily scooter for young people. But for young people who like excitement, Fit's performance is better.
