Is the Toyota Vios sturdy?
2 Answers
Toyota Vios related introduction is as follows: 1. Dimensions: The length, width, and height of the Vios are 4420*1700*1490mm, with a wheelbase of 2550mm, which falls into the category of a compact car. It is an entry-level small car with a rear seating space that is not narrow at all, and the trunk capacity is 476L. 2. Powertrain: The new Vios will still be equipped with two naturally aspirated engines, 1.3L and 1.5L, with maximum power outputs of 73kW and 79kW respectively. The transmission system is matched with either a 5-speed manual or CVT, delivering excellent gear smoothness. The suspension uses a MacPherson setup, not a torsion beam independent suspension combination, and the combined fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.1L.
This issue needs to be considered in light of the Toyota Vios' design positioning. As an A0-class entry-level family car, it indeed excels in reliability rather than sporty performance. From my personal observation of many repair cases, the Vios adopts a front MacPherson strut and rear torsion beam suspension structure—simple in design but with low failure rates. The body frame utilizes Toyota's GOA high-rigidity materials; although the vehicle isn't particularly heavy, it effectively disperses energy during low-to-medium speed urban collisions. Two years ago, a colleague driving a Vios got rear-ended—the trunk deformed but the passenger compartment remained largely intact, with doors opening normally for safe escape, proving the crash beams functioned as intended. Note that the 1.3L version features a non-independent rear suspension, making it bumpier over speed bumps compared to the 1.5L's independent setup. This model has served as taxis in Southeast Asia for over a decade, still running strong, demonstrating proven durability.
