Toyota is busy testing its next-generation Vios on the streets of Bangkok ahead of its global debut slated for the third quarter of this year.
Spotted by Phol Wassaphol , the 2023 Vios shows an exterior partly inspired by the Daihatsu DN F-sedan—a concept car which was unveiled at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in 2017. This is appropriately so because reports say the all-new Vios, codenamed D92A, will shift to the Daihatsu New Global Architecture which is used by the Toyota Raize, Avanza, and Veloz.
That said, the prototype does seem to gain design cues such as prominent air intakes which could suggest a sportier GR Sport model. According to the Thai website, the Vios will receive a normally-aspirated 1.2-liter 4-cylinder engine paired to a CVT. Take note though that because of Thailand’s unique Eco Car program, it’s more likely that the Philippines will not get this engine. Instead, it will most likely keep the current Vios’s 1.3- and 1.5-liter engines. A hybrid system—pairing a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder with an electric motor is expected to join the line-up a year later.
Thailand is set to be the first country to get the all-new Vios with other markets, including the Philippines surely to follow.
