How many cylinders does the Vios have?
2 Answers
The Vios has four cylinders, with the model number 4NR-FE, a bore of 72.5mm, and a compression ratio of 11.5. It is equipped with a 1.3-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.3-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 99 horsepower and a maximum torque of 123 Nm, with the maximum torque achieved at 4,200 rpm and the maximum power at 6,000 rpm. This engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. The Vios has a wheelbase of 2,550mm, a length of 4,420mm, a width of 1,700mm, and a height of 1,490mm.
The Vios typically has 4 cylinders, like most models currently on sale use this configuration. I've been driving the Vios for several years, and I feel the 4-cylinder engine is quite reliable, with smooth acceleration and no lag, plus it's fuel-efficient—perfect for city driving. I remember one long trip where it was rock-solid on the highway the whole way, with no issues, unlike some small cars with 3-cylinders that have vibration and noise. Fewer cylinders can save more fuel but sacrifice smoothness; more cylinders mean stronger power but higher costs. The Vios sticks with 4 cylinders for that balance—just pay attention to spark plugs and engine oil during maintenance. If you're buying a used one, also check the cylinder condition to prevent carbon buildup issues.
